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...

Thomas Jefferson the Art of Power
by
Jon Meacham
Northern Reader
, January 31, 2013
Author, Jon Meacham's biography of Thomas Jefferson gives fine insight into the author of the American Declaration of Independence and his ascent to the higher levels of power and ultimately to become the third President. Jefferson, while often seen retrospectively as a more solitary person, early on, developed skills in social networking and gradually built powerful political coalitions on those friendships. I enjoyed reading this biography and it contributed much to my understanding of Jefferson, the man and the consummate politician. It gave me, the reader, clues about the political genius of Jefferson.

The Warmth Of Other Suns: The Epic Story Of America's Great Migration
by
Isabel Wilkerson
Northern Reader
, January 01, 2012
For me this book was a personal journey in understanding the paths taken by the grandparents of biracial children in my family. Although I had grown up in times of segregated water fountains and restrooms, the three life stores detailed by author Wilkerson revealed the awful nightmares faced everyday by the three families in "The Warmth of Other Suns.' At the same time, their courage and fortitude as they migrated with hope to a new life in New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles carried a message of resilience needed today more than ever. This book is the finest narrative non-fiction and timeless.
