(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Flight Behavior

The best thing about Kingsolver's latest novel is her brilliant metaphors and descriptions, capturing and even epitomizing daily life. This rural Tennessee family and their encounter with monarch butterflies and the researchers who study them - the plot brings to life our planet's battle against the complex phenomenon of climate change (global warming ... the greenhouse effect). It's a don't-miss read. It is a crossover book - great for young adults as well as grown-ups. Consider it as a gift for your "save the planet" nephew or niece!

State of Wonder
by
Patchett, Ann

I thought Ann Patchett had reached the pinnacle with BEL CANTO but STATE OF WONDER exceeded my expectations. The characters were believable and they encountered challenge after challenge, dilemma after dilemma. Patchett did an outstanding job of describing the Amazon - sights, sounds, smells, ambiance. My book club discussed it; each of us had a different take and it was our most lively discussion of 2011.

My book group and I read this book. Especially those of us who had lived in the South found it important. All for us found the story shocking and important. I have not heard of anyone who didn't feel like this book moved them up.
