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...

Alice Hoffman writes lyrically, and this movingstory reminded me in a way of another favorite, The Red Tent. The story of strong women struggling to survive at Masada is amazing. This is a story to read, ponder, and re-read.

The Book Thief
by
Markus Zusak
Mary Ann Darby
, January 01, 2010
Narrated by a benevolent Death, this book has stayed with me like few others, and both its lyrical writing and stunning observations on war have made it one I recommend to people continually. This is a book that made me laugh and cry, and featured characters that I loved and cared for. Zusak's book has been marketed as a young adult title in America, which has limited its audience somewhat, although word of mouth has it circulating among adult readers as well. This book is unforgettable.
