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...

Burgess Boys
by
Elizabeth Strout

In anticipation of this eagerly awaited fourth novel by Elizabeth Strout, I have just reread each of her earlier ones. I found some of the middle sections of The Burgess Boys somewhat repetitive and I would have welcomed more details about the ending incidents. Overall, however, I found this latest novel compelling and wonderful. I agree with all the praise lavished on Elizabeth Strout's first three novels and I think all these qualities also apply to The Burgess Boys. On reflection,I may even conclude that the few sections I found somewhat tedious are necessary components of the story and more details about the ending would weaken its power.

Light Between Oceans
by

I have read the book twice and I am sure I will read it again, many times. I have also bought numerous copies for Christmas and "thank-you" gifts. This first novel by M. L. Stedman has unforgettable and endearing characters (especially Tom, Lucy, and Izzy; Izzy's parents and Ralph), beautiful descriptions, and a suspenseful plot. The dust-jacket and other reviews give just enough detail to intrigue a book lover like me. I shall pre-order any novel Stedman writes in the furure. What more can I say!!!
