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...

Deathwatch

Could you ever imagine being on a desert with nothing, struggling to take hold of life while a guy with a gun keeps harassing you? If you could, you have seen the shoes the main character of Deathwatch has stepped in. This was an o.k. book with a good story about survival but I do agree that the back of the book gives away the whole story. I didn't really like how the guy with a gun basically tortures the main character because that's not the kind of book I like to read. But, if you like a survival story with a guy who has nothing literally but maybe his boxers, this is the kind of story you would want to read. It is a very fast and easy read. So, I hope you enjoy Deathwatch by Robb White.

Predator Cities 02 Predators Gold Hungry City Chronicles

Have you ever been out in the open, struggling to take hold of civilization because it seems every where you go, something is out to get you? If you have, you have had some similarities to the book, Predators Gold. First of all, if you like adventure books with a lot of action, this book will AMAZE you. I was first introduced to the previous book, Mortal Engines, and could not stop reading. This book does a great job into keeping you reading into the chronicles. But overall, it had some very slow parts in the book but in the next two, they very rarely hit any slow spots. So if you like Sci-fi books, I reccomend you read Predator's Gold, by Philip Reeve.

Chronicles of Prydain 01 Book Of Three

Imagine yourself trying to find something , but stumbling into even more trouble . If you did, you have stepped into the shoes of Taran of Caer Dallben, the main character in the story. Overall, I thought this was a well written book about the Medieval times because it makes you feel like you were there. However, I thought the story could have had a better plot then running after an Oracular pig. This book has an abundant amount of description and details when describing the situations Taran manages to get himself into. If you're a reader that loves the Middle Ages and an adventure book, this is the kind of book you will want to read. In this book, it is almost like you are reading another version of Lord of the Rings because of the character similarities. If you love the Lord of the Rings series, you will deeply enjoy The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander.
