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...

Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant?
by
Roz Chast

, January 11, 2015
I look forward to reading this very much! I took care of my elderly, ailing, and dementia suffering parents for a few years and understand how traumatic, yet life enhancing the experience can be. Depression, anger, exhaustion, but also gratitude that I was able to be there for them were part of my experience. Finally having to have both admitted to homes where they could receive better care than I ultimately could provide was painful and I still feel some guilt, but I know it was for the best for them and for me. I have already told my son to place me somewhere if I reach a point where I am helpless and have dementia, and not to feel guilty...I have given him pre-permission:-)!

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Cant Stop Talking
by
Susan Cain

, February 08, 2014
I was immediately taken with this book as I am one of those introverts for whom the world seems too full of chatter. Wonderful discussion about the contributions that introverts give, and have given in the past, to our evolution and societal structure. Highly recommend!
