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...

Tales from Another Mother Runner Trials Triumphs Tricks & Tips from the Road
by
Sarah Bowen Shea, Dimity McDowell
HeatherR
, March 31, 2015
In this third book from the Another Mother Runner duo, most of the essays are from outside contributors. As a big fan of McDowell's and Shea's writing, I wasn't sure whether I'd like this format. As it happens, I loved it. Hearing from a wide variety of women runners with varied goals, backgrounds, pace, age, etc. was inspiring and energizing. I highly recommend it to any runner gals out there (mother or not!)

Food in Jars
by

After getting this book out of the library, I tagged so many things to make that I decided to buy it. Her recipes are inventive yet simple, and their small size make it easy to bang one out in a short period of time. The small-batch style also made it more appealing to try recipes that I might have otherwise skipped, like cantaloupe jam - which has become my new favorite! The book's construction and design are lovely, as is her writing that accompanies the recipes. My only complaint is the heavy use of liquid pectin, which tends to create a firmer set than I typically like, but I plan to experiment with swapping in powdered. All in all, I can't recommend this book enough!

The Book Thief
by
Markus Zusak
HeatherR
, December 30, 2009
I somehow avoided hearing the chorus of praise of this book, and as a result it took me by complete surprise. Zusak's writing style is unique and beautiful, and he has created characters that will remain with you long after the book has closed. Do yourself a favor and keep the tissues handy.

A touching, raw, and deeply personal collection of poems, Nancy Krygowski's words will stay with you long after you've closed the book.
