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.

Finders Keepers A Tale of Archaeological Plunder & Obsession
by
Craig Childs
Marjorie Woodruff
, January 03, 2011
A fascinating read, but depressing as well. Having found "treasures" in the backcountry which vanish when someone feels they deserve them more than the rest of us, I understand the frustration Childs writes about when some of his treasures go missing. This book kept me running to the computer to look reference items mentioned which had been violated or, sometimes, preserved. Too bad all wilderness explorers don't have Childs' maturity towards things which the ancients left behind.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance-Now with Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem

A friend gave me this book, and I tried to give it back, saying it was in insult to one of my favorite authors. Then I started to read it and thought: Darn, this is really funny. I'm not sure how it would be for someone who has not read Jane Austin, but I had a lot of fun with it.

On a par with Into Thin Air. Good read and fascinating background on climbing Everest. I kept reading sections out loud to my husband.

Inkheart (Inkheart #1)
by
Cornelia Funke

This three-book series: Inheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath is excellent. If you are going through Harry Potter withdrawal, you can get a fix with this series.
