Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

, January 27, 2018
The books in Victoria Thompson's series are an entertaining look at the lives of women in New York City at the turn of the 20th century. Following the formerly upper class midwife Mrs. Brandt, this historical mystery highlights the intersection of class, ethnicity , gender, and sexuality with the murder of a wealthy businessman.

An Untamed State
by
Roxane Gay
Jodi Barnes
, October 10, 2014
It was hard to read this novel. It is strikingly painful and just as beautiful. The way the author has interwoven darkness with love kept me turning the pages. I had to remind myself that the trauma was a metaphor for life in Haiti.

Signature of All Things
by
Elizabeth Gilbert
Jodi Barnes
, February 14, 2014
Elizabeth Gilbert has written a beautiful novel. It is long and not a quick read, but this novel of adventure, science, love, religion, botany, evolution, family, colonialism, altruism, reason and the craft of writing is worth the time. Between mosses and orchids and Darwin and Russell, in this work of historical fiction we discover Alma Whitaker and her theory of natural selection. Whitaker, a bryologist, never published her treatise on competitive alteration. Gilbert tells her story in a way that demystifies science and shows how people develop scientific knowledge through methodical research and their interactions and relationships with people and places.

Mayas Notebook
by
Isabel Allende
Jodi Barnes
, May 31, 2013
Isabel Allende has done it again. Her new novel takes place in Oakland, California, Las Vegas, Nevada and a small island in Chile. Maya's Notebook weaves the past with the present and delves into the depths of addiction while exploring the meaning of family. It was a disturbingly beautiful read.
