(0 comment)
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...

A Great & Terrible Beauty (Gemma Doyle #1)
by

This book is respectable and had its moments where the author wrote beautifully and with some depth, but for the most part, I was disappointed. I was expecting more than the typical "loner" mystery girl who falls in line with the beautiful and popular "in-crowd" of Mean girls.

The Road
by
Cormac McCarthy

, April 29, 2009
One of the hardest books to stop reading; and one of the hardest books to keep reading. Pervasive, heartwrenching. McCarthy's writing is beautiful. It just goes to show the amazement of his writing when he can hold the reader in a state of simultaneous terror, horror, hope, and compassion. He is an artist!

Rebecca
by
Daphne Du Maurier
Mary Crowell
, April 29, 2009
One of my favorite books. du Maurier's writing is beautiful, haunting and classic. The first time I read this book I needed to gobble up more of du Maurier, as this was her first book I read. The characters, the house, and the story drips with an alluring secrecy and an exciting and impending feeling of doom that will keep you up late at night needing more.
