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...

Tricks 01

All of Ellen Hopkins books are raw, and so heart wrenching, this book especially. This story is about people who turn "tricks" in other words, they sell themselves sexually in order to make a living. We follow the lives of people who sell them self in order to stay alive, some of them like what they do, while others hate it. This book can be graphic, but it is written so beautifully. I recommend reading any of Ellen Hopkins books.

Living Dead Girl

This book was simply haunting. I could not stand it, yet I loved it at the same time. This book is hard to read, because you wish so badly to help the main character. In parts, this book is disturbing, but I believe that that is what makes this book so amazing. The story is about a small child being kidnapped, and living with her kidnapper as we see the abuse she goes through and how she struggles to be set free. This book is chilling, and somehow made me happy when it ended.

Love You Hate You Miss You
by

I absolutely LOVE all of Elizabeth Scott's books, she is an amazing author. This story really hit close to home for me. The story tells of a girl who lost her best friend, and doesn't really know how to deal with it. We read the story of her journey through mourning and see how she can't seem to accept that her friend’s death wasn't her fault. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. I would recommend not on Love You Hate You Miss You to a friend, but any of Elizabeth Scott's books in general.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was a little hard to follow at some parts, but in the end it was worth it. The story is sick and twisted, and just comes to life right before your eyes. I was happy with this book, and would recommend it to a friend.

As you read "Evermore," you are soon trapped in a tragic yet heartwarming love story that keeps on giving. Once you read through the first one, you'll be on to the others.

By the Time You Read This Ill Be Dead
by
Peters, Julie Ann

I LOVED this book with a passion. I could not put it down. I felt so close to Daelyn. I felt as if I was actually there, experiencing how broken she really was. As you read this book, you begin to understand why the title is "By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead." The book is about a young girl named Daelyn who no longer wishes to live. You read about her experience with death, and how much she just doesn't want to be alive. As the story goes on, we are introduced to a young boy who is interested in Daelyn, but she wants nothing to do with him. Trust me, by the time you finish reading this, you'll be crying and wish it never ended.
