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...

This book is a series of essays based on the seasons. I was able to pick it up and read a bit, put it away and pick it up again without losing the narative. I truly enjoyed reading about her journey from a divorce and sadness to a satisfying life on her own. I loaned the book to another person, I hope I get it back as it is a comforting book to read and well worth reading again.

Eat Pray Love One Womans Search for Everything Across Italy India & Indonesia

I enjoyed reading this book. It is a bit too self pitying, she does have a few pity parties on the way, but, on the whole I enjoyed reading it. Italy was so inviting that I want to visit and learn Italian! A nice read not too deep but still a good book.

After the first few pages I was hooked. Jacob and his story of life as an old man remembering life as a young man, held me in thralled. I felt sad when I closed the book. I did not want it to end. A must read book!

I dove into this book, like it was cheap pasta. I soon slowed down and savored it like a fine wine. The story of one woman's struggle with depression, despair and lose. It becomes a wonderful story of growth and recovery. I loved reading this book and want to give it to my friends.

I often check a book out of the library first, before I buy. I am looking for this book at my local library. Why is it hard to find?
