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...

I borrowed this engrossing book from a coworker. As soon as I finished it, I got on Powells.com to buy a copy for myself. My package from Powells just arrived yesterday and I stayed up almost all night reading it again. I can't get enough of Roffey's gorgeous scene-setting descriptions or the unique ways she brings her characters to life. Everyone should read this book!

How To Paint A Dead Man
by

, January 19, 2010
"How to Paint a Dead Man" was amazing on so many levels. Sarah Hall skillfully connects disparate characters across continents and times, using her handle on point of view as the breadcrumbs that keep the reader from getting lost. I'm still amazed at how easily she brings you into a scene, as if you are not reading a description but looking around yourself only find you've fallen into present-day London or post World War II Italy. Her tale of loss and death, and the way humans cope with those life moments, was one of the best books of 2009, of the decade and, quite possibly, of my life as a reader.
