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...

Turn of Mind

I picked this book up and couldn't put it down, I was almost late to work trying to finish it. Told from the perspective of a once strong woman now with dementia it is a compelling look into a disease no one wants to think about. The story itself is what keeps you reading because Dr. White is not always likeable, but you can't resist wanting to know WHY. Can't wait for more from Alice LaPlante!

Into the Wild

A well written tome, this book was nonetheless a tough read ... really quite a dark and frightening glimpse into someone else's reality. From the beginning you know Chris McCandless has died and this story is about his journey. I never made the emotional connection to Chris to understand his motivation behind leaving his family in such a harsh way. He is remembered as personable, thoughtful and forgiving of others he came across, yet was unable to bridge the gap within his own family ... The pain they must have gone through seems unimaginable. I didn't think he was stupid or deserved death; sadly too many little mistakes added up to a life lost.
