(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...

James Boys A Novel Account of Four Desperate Brothers
by
Rich Liebmann Smith
Katy Bejarano
, February 21, 2009
This is one of the funniest - and well written - books I've read in a long time. It combines facts with faux facts, so that it all seems very plausable, that Frank & Jesse James were William and Henry James younger brothers. Do have a dictionary handy, though, unless your vocabulary is outstanding!

Heyday
by
Kurt Andersen

, December 08, 2008
Fun read of the United States in the 1840s and '50s. Interesting characters who are immigrants from Europe to New York - and how they make it to California (or not) for the gold rush. Lots of fun historical data included. A bit long, but worth the read.

Incomplete Revenge Maisie Dobbs
by
Jacqueline Winspear
Katy Bejarano
, June 04, 2008
Jacqueline has done it again. Another compelling story of Maisie Dobbs investigating as well as dealing with the results of the horrors of World War I. Amazing how the author blends in so much history of the period after WWI that is seldom written about, but it doesn't feel at all like a history lesson. It's just a great yarn about fascinating people. Very much a page turner, and even more compelling if you have read the previous books in the series.

Inside Inside
by
James Lipton
Katy Bejarano
, January 21, 2008
For anyone who enjoys the show, "Inside the Actors Studio," this is a fascinating memoir of James Lipton and the show. I was amazed at the varied and impressive career Mr. Lipton had before he ever started the show, as well as all the intrigue and integrity connected with keeping the show as sophisticated and instructive as it is. For anyone who has seen most of the episodes, as I have, some of the book was repetitive, but reading many of the backstage goings on was very entertaining and enlightening. A truly delightful read!

Smile When Youre Lying Confessions of a Rogue Travel Writer
by
Chuck Thompson
Katy Bejarano
, January 03, 2008
Delightful accounts of REAL travels - instead of puff pieces that most travel magazines publish in order not to offend their advertisers or readers. Lots of chuckles and even laugh-out-louds. Reminds me a bit of Tim Cahill's books, though the adventures seem more realistic. Hope he writes many a sequel!
