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...

I grew up not eating meat but I wanted to learn how to cook more food but I'm not great at cooking so I went for this book my husband eats meat and likes anything by them cause they show you how to cook with pictures and step by step! They have so much stuff in this book. Think 700 recipes really a lot and for all kinds of foods and vegan gluten free etc......if you need a good cook book I really recommend this one you won't go wrong with it! And if you are a beginner this is great cause they show you not just tell you......

WOW this is the best book for baby's who are teething!!! I have a 10 month old and EVERYTHING goes in his mouth but I wanted him to start getting interested in books so when I found this one at Powells I did t know if it would work but WOW it did and better! You can not tear it or they can bite/ chew it and it's fine and it's washable and non toxic this book is amazing for young kids. They have bother titles also but this was so cutie . So if you have a baby who puts everything in the mouth this is the book for you.......

Summer Brain Quest Between Grades 4 & 5

This is a great book for kids to do during the summer to keep the minds thinking and learning but in a way they won't fight! I really believe this is a must have we have done it for three summers and I think it helps him and worth it. We have tried other books but the reason we like this book is it has a little of everything not just one subject but many! It's not too late this summer to have them do this so I'd really recommend getting this book .....

Well I don't eat meat and I also don't like to cook so when I got this as a Christmas gift I have to admit I was not excited! One day I decided to take a look at the book and give it a try and omg wow I was wrong about cooking this book made it easy and the food is great and my favorite section of the book is the quick recipes that take 15-30 min to make wow! If you are looking for a great cookbook then I would recommend this one it has SO many recipes it's a big book and has photos and easy to use they really explain and I needed that since I don't have any experience. I'm not a vegan but this book is for anyone even someone who eats meat cause the food is SO good!

Wow what a great book the characters in it are amazing they make you laugh out loud and you can't stop! The main character is sexy,funny, tough and makes you want to keep reading! I could not put this book down and I'm have read others of the series and this was my favorite. What I like the most is I didn't read the others in order but that's ok ! I really recommend this book if you want to laugh , I can't wait to try another one of them......

Wow what a great book it's so well written and the boy is so amazing! I know this book was meant for younger kids but I'm an adult and I wanted to red it for other reasons and I'm so glad I did .... I think kids should read this cause we all have issues and things we don't like but this book made me feel like it was ok! The book was easy to read for kids but also the story and characters were the kid you always remember. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it my son is going into 5 th grade this year and I'm going to have him read it........

I saw this book looking at Powell's and I saw it was for young reader and wasn't going to get the book but I'm so glad I I did it's for all readers young or old because this book teaches us what we sometimes forget not to judge someone for the outside but what's on the inside is what matters!! I'm 39 and I'm going though a hard stage I have to have a huge surgery and it has made some huge complication in my face and how I look. I was SO SO shy and didn't want people to see the way I looked but after reading this great book it made me see what I was going though in a new light I think everyone should read this book cause you will learn something about yourself!

Great book for kids who are learning to read! The first reason i gave it 5 stars was my son loves anything to do with trains so this made him "want" to read the book LOL Second reason is kids can read the book easy the typing has "BIG" and bold lettering that helps a LOT!! If you are looking for a short book ( that's what i wanted with a beginner because its long for them at this stage) the last thing was the art work was good my so liked looking at the pages!if you want to get your kid starting to read i suggest this book!!!

The story is good my son just loves hearing about the great lovable creatures and the adventures they go on and now he can read the book himself!I gave the book 5 starts for both of the reasons but i cant say enough good things about the illustration great book ( even for adults)
