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...

It Devours!: Welcome to Night Vale 2
by
Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor

If anything, I liked this one better than the first one. Once again, the more familiar you are with the show, the better, but I haven't really listened in over a year(?) and I still found very poignant and engaging moments throughout. Like Fink and Cranor tend to do, this is entertaining on many levels, so there's the topmost Night Vale level, and then the stuff that waddles and crawls beneath that, and then there's the weirdly presented science / religion tension that drives the narrative and also gives us the foundation for many of the relationships in the book. Same as before, plucks a couple of the characters from the town and spotlights them to good effect to tell an interesting and fun story.

Other Minds: The Octopus, the Sea, and the Deep Origins of Consciousness
by
Peter Godfrey Smith

Other Minds is one of the most remarkable books I have read - ever! There is much I loved about this book, much that fascinated, intrigued, puzzled, flummoxed, and thoroughly delighted me in this wonderful treasure, but none of that would have happened without the extraordinary writing by Peter Godfrey Smith.
