(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...

Casual Vacancy: Large Print Edition
by
J K Rowling

I don't know if I only speak for myself when I say this but, I was half expecting or maybe even hoping for an adult version of the Harry Potter after years, or maybe I was thinking that, because the author had written so amazingly about this fanasty/magic world in several bestselling books, that she may have been confined to some writing box that would not allow her talent to show if she tried something else. This book completely proved me wrong. This book proved to me what an amazing author J.K. Rowling truly is. not only can she write books that can captivate the child and adult together at the same time with ease, but she can write an adult story with such raw and dark truth and make you laugh and cry along the way. Her characters are so real in all her books that you felt a certain connection or understanding with all of them, and this book was no different. I can't wait to read the next thing she writes!

Not only do I think this was the best book of the year, I think this is the most imaginative book ever! I fell in love with it in the first few pages and before even finishing it, I was raving about it to all my friends and anyone else who would listen. Christopher Moore is pure literary awesomeness!
