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...

This is such a fascinating read! It is original ,physically of course, but also what is written inside is absolutely spectacular. Every word works perfectly to create this story. It was incredible! This is not only a literary piece, it's also a work of art and a definite must-read! You will learn to appreciate literature in an entire different way.

Dear Girls Above Me

This book is charming, heartwarming and, most importantly, so funny! It does a splendid job at depicting our pop culture-centric generation and it is written in a way that i can recommend it to anyone, even people who aren't fans of reading. The comedic timing was perfect and McDowell has amazing story-telling abilities. I found myself relating to all of his anecdotes and how he deals with the awkward moments in life, even if I haven't come close to such an experience. I wish I lived in his apartment complex so that I can be constantly entertained by the magnitude of ridiculousness that goes on. Any reader of his blog will be a huge fan of this book!

Entwined

What glorious beauty and fun and rapture! It is absolutely wonderful and kept me captivated throughout the entire story. The romance left my heart fluttering, the magic left me yearning, and my curiosity stuck by the whole time! Entwined is a beautiful fresh telling of the old tales Twelve Dancing Princesses, or The Shoes That Were Danced to Pieces by the Grimm Brothers, but with a magical, eerie twist. This book hit every mark that excited the girl in me and made me swoon! This book left me riveted and enchanted!

Internet Girls 01 TTYL

It's a super fun and light read! the format makes everything so unique and enjoyable. Because the story is told through chat log, how the scenes the girls talk about goes down is left to the imagination. It seems like a staple for any young girl to read. I've reread this series and leant it to many friends and they all loved it!

Sherlock Holmes the Hound of the Baskervilles (Dover Graphic Novel Classics)
by
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Nikki Hsu
, March 19, 2015
A quick read, yet some parts were unnecessarily dragged out. It would be nice if it was in colour as to easily distinguish characters and set the tone of the environment. Also, there was no "high functioning sociopath" aspect to Sherlock Holmes; he is represented as a much more average man than he is. The ending was quite bleak and disappointing, but the ideas were kept simple enough that kids, who are getting into Sherlock, will enjoy.

My Grandmas a Ninja
by

This book was absolutely adorable! I loved the illustrations; the whole page is covered with not one blank space and it is colourful and playful. It's a fun read, no in-your-face life lesson, just a good light story. It's humorous and would be entertaining for boys and girls. And i mean.. a grandma ninja? The boy's living the dream!
