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.

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by
Rebecca Skloot
Travel Lady
, January 01, 2011
This is a fascinating book dealing with medicine, ethics, consent and more. Henrietta Lacks was a poor African American from the tobacco fields of Virginia who died very young from cancer in 1951. A sample of her cancerous tissue was taken without her knowledge or consent and ended up as HeLa cells, which led to many medical breakthoughs. Meanwhile, her family continued to live in poverty and poor health. A moving story with lots of questions to be asked and discussed.
