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...

Wild Within How Rescuing Owls Brought One Family Together
by
Melissa Hart
Sabena
, February 10, 2015
Wild Within is an engaging memoir about the author's growing relationships with wild birds: the injured owls and raptors who she works with and falls in love with at the Cascade Raptor Center in Eugene, Oregon. This story is intertwined with the tale of her budding desire and journey to adopt a child. Hart’s book is a narrative about the power of building trust and opening your heart. The writer is so personable and frank that her book often reads like a talk over coffee with a good friend.

Stone Diaries
by
Carol Shields
Sabena
, July 15, 2013
Carol Shield's The Stone Diaries is a brilliant portrayal of a seemingly ordinary woman's life, Daisy Stone Goodwill, from birth to death, alone and in relationship with her friends and loved ones. Shields has built a story by skillful, honest writing, steadily paced as a needlepoint journal, with characters who are surprisingly, wonderfully engaging, The Stone Diaries is one of my favorite novels, full of life almost too real to believe it's fiction. At the end, I wanted to ask of the author, "How did you do it?"

The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite
by
David Kessler
Sabena
, March 20, 2013
It’s hard to imagine that the food processing industry and restaurant chains that most of us patronize work so hard and so consistently to find ways to overcome and override the human brain’s natural systems to regulate hunger and hook us on the deadly trio of salt, sugar, and fat. But that’s exactly what Dr. David A. Kessler, former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Association, uncovers in his book, "The End of Overeating." There are newer books covering the same ground but it was this investigative journey that laid out the critical dirty facts and explained why you can “bet you can’t eat just one.”

World To Come
by
Dara Horn
Sabena
, January 01, 2010
The World to Come is a story-sculpture of life seen through the eyes of a Jewish orphan-survivor of a 1920s Russian pogrom and a man in post-Vietnam War America in pursuit of his family's history, a fluid weaving of past and present brought together by the art and humanity of Marc Chagall. The characters are as vivid and as unmoored as the people who populate Chagall's paintings. Rich in quietly, thoroughly observed detail, imbued with the music of Yiddish, it is a bouquet of spiritual quandaries planted in a crime mystery.
