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...

Snow Child

The Snow Child is beautifully balanced between its realistic portrayal of a homesteading couple in Alaska, battling the elements and the loneliness of the northern frontier, and its wonderfully mysterious tale of the snow child. I was unfamiliar with the folk tale, but that didn't matter. I read through with a combination of wonder, expectation, and the question "Who (or what) is this girl Faina?" A great read!

Chaos Walking 01 Knife of Never Letting Go

With the last installment of the Chaos Walking trilogy due out in September, now's the time to start with the first book. You won't be disappointed. This series is binned into a young adult category, but it's so well crafted and the subject matter so relevant that the age range should be 14-50 instead of 14-17. I enjoyed every moment of this story with Todd & his dog, Viola, and the other characters, set in a future time on a colony planet where your thoughts are no longer your own. The storytelling is spot-on and the reader is taken on a suspenseful trip that examines love, loss, friendship, and the cost of doing what's right. Worth every moment and highly recommended.
