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...

Alaska Trees & Shrubs

This book sets the standards for other books on woody species in Alaska. It is authoritative, well-written, and easy to read.

Terror
by
Dan Simmons
Steve Sparrow
, July 25, 2007
Should Mr. Simmons decide to write another novel about the Arctic, he needs to do the research necessary to learn about his topic. I realize this book is fiction and as such, not every description of the region where the story takes place need to be completely accurate, but Mr. Simmons' descriptions of the Arctic, sea ice behavior, and human survival in extreme cold are so outrageous they seriously detract from the story. The story line if fairly interesting, but the book is long and parts of it are tedious. Thus, I often found myself feeling like I was wading through the book rather than eagerly turning the pages as I would do with a really good novel.
