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...

Cheesus Was Here
by

A wonderful debut about faith, grief, love and life, JC Davis covers so much ground in this debut novel -and manages it beautifully. Delaney Delgado is the perfect protagonist - skeptical, funny, and hurting far more than she lets on. The family relationships are well drawn and the complexity of her friendship/crush with Gabe feels just right. The descriptions of small town life are spot-on. Funny, smart, with great dialogue, memorable characters, and a smart premise, this is a must read.

Soulmated

I don't read a lot of romance, but I might start now. Shaila Patel's YA debut, SOULMATED is the right blend of great characters, real-life obstacles, and love. I adored both Liam and Laxshmi - and was hooked by the alternating points of view. I can't wait to read the next installment in this will they/won't they saga.

Allegedly

A stunning debut. Dark. Heartbreaking. Powerful. Mary is a wonderfully complex character. Her story will catch you by the throat and not let you go until you've read the entire novel - and she'll stay with you long after you've finished. The author, Tiffany Jackson, paints a unflinching portrait of our juvenile justice system while telling a compelling story - drawing you into Mary's world, and making you question right, wrong, and everything in between. A true thriller from the start.

Wait for Me
by
Caroline Leech
PBailey
, January 31, 2017
A touching war story - well told. Caroline Leech's WWII romance, WAIT FOR ME, is filled with angst and empathy as enemies become friends - and fall in love - even as they are forced to face their own fears, prejudices, losses, and desires. Romance lovers will appreciate the slow burn of forbidden first love, while history lovers will be drawn to the detailed depictions of time and place and the unique setting. And everyone will love the characters - from Lorna's pluck to Nikki's cheerful desperation, from Jock's quiet strength to Paul's tragic kindness. WAIT FOR ME is a strong debut. The author, Caroline Leech, has an eye for romance, and and an elegant hand with detail - and suspense. A great YA read.

Serpents Promise 01 Poisons Kiss
by
Breeana Shields

, January 10, 2017
Beautiful writing, riveting plot, engaging characters - Breeana Shields manages to combine all three in her engaging debut. Shields captures your attention from page one - with gorgeous description and an empathetic character. She carries it through the twists and turns of this page-turner, as Marinda struggles with her duty, her self, and her fate. A story of deceit, betrayal, friendship, and ultimately love, Poison's Kiss will stay with you long after you finish the book and leave you longing for the sequel.
