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...

This was a novel that inspired me to begin writing again-it was a gentle kick-in-the-seat-of-the-pants kind of motivation! It is a story about a group of women who begin to encourage each other to dream and to make those dreams become realities. None of the women are professional writers, yet as they go through life's struggles, they teach each other to write those struggles down on a page. They find that their best writing comes from telling the truth about themselves and their deepest darkest secrets.

1491 New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus

Nonfiction can be like a good novel! Normally these words would not come out of my mouth. I love fiction. Finding a new novel with fascinating characters and an interesting plot that glues me to that novel, is one of life’s joys. However, this past year I took a chance. I stepped out of my comfort zone and read several nonfiction books. They ended up being some of the best writing I have ever read. One of these books was, 1491: New Revelations of the Americas before Columbus, by Charles C. Mann. As Mann describes the scene of the Americas before Christopher Columbus’ arrival and the history that led up to it, I could not stop reading. He challenged my mind and my imagination. He is an amazing historian and writer.
