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...

Best Rock Bio! Stories from the heart of The Rolling Stones. AMAZING how many great tales are in here (that Kieth remembered). All of the musical greats get mentioned. It's all delivered with a humor and charm that's very disarming. A special mention for Charlie Watts, present throughout.

Me Talk Pretty One Day

Sedaris at his candid and mischievous best! "I'll Eat What He's Wearing" still brings a little smile and snort/chuckle when I think of it.

So good, and sad. I'm glad I read this book. Beautiful writing, unique and engaging story, but nearly prohibitively sad! A rural couple reels from and tries to make sense of tragedy.

Axioms End Noumena Book 1
by
Lindsay Ellis

An action packed first contact novel from video essayist Lindsay Ellis, Axiom's Edge dispenses with "E.T. is good, if we could JUST understand them" and instead wrestles with questions of whom we can trust, whether humans or aliens. I'm eagerly awaiting the 2nd installment in the series.

Brood
by
Jackie Polzin

This novel is very aptly titled. It is a book about chickens, yes, but it is also a broody little book about life. It is subtle and thoughtful and quietly funny but also sad. Polzin ruminates on motherhood and partnership and the trajectory of one's life and loneliness. It reminds me of Jenny Offill in the best way. I loved it!

If on a winter's night a traveler
by
Italo Calvino
Benvolio E.
, September 16, 2018
What a brilliant little labyrinth of a love-letter to literature. The weaving of this tapestry is a startling, dizzying array of layers upon strata designed within itself to tease you, test your resilience, and leave you, for your tenacity, ultimately rewarded upon its sighing exit. The prose is dreaming and lyrical and seems to know you. I put the book down, several times, in my lap, and let familiarity startle me while re-tasting the verse on my tongue over and again.
