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...

The Moon Book: Lunar Magic to Change Your Life
by
Sarah Faith Gottesdiener

, February 09, 2021
This is a beautiful book, full of wisdom, affirmation, magic, and easy to reconnect with your soul and your own power. Reading this book has felt so empowering and inspiring. I love everything that Sarah has created (highly recommend her podcast, Moonbeaming, too!). I love the different tips, from practical things to incorporate into the day to longer ritual ideas. I know I will be turning to this book over and over again to connect with these facets of my magic more deeply.

The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail
by
Jason De Leon, Michael Wells
Victoria
, June 13, 2018
This book is a must read for anyone who lives in the United States or in any way benefits from all the varieties of work that undocumented immigrants from Central and South America do in this country. I think it is one of the most important books that we can read today. Jason de Leon and Mike Wells have done amazing work in capturing some of the stories of those who try to cross the US-Mexico border, and leave you thinking about how many more variations of these stories exist and can never be told because their protagonists were swallowed up by the desert. They delve deep into how the desert has been "recruited" by the politics of preventing unauthorized migrantion and is a key player in the trauma of a border crossing - successful or not. The book is at times harrowing and hard to think about, and at times intensely intimate, highlighting the shared humanity in all of us, no matter our background or legal status. These are hard truths that need to be known, and these are important stories to hear to put some faces onto those numbers of people referred to so dehumanizingly as "the illegals". I was methodologically impressed by de Leon's combination of archaeology and ethnography, of these two distinct types of fieldwork, that make this book particularly stand out. Thank you to all the work of the Undocumented Migrant Project to help provide a platform for these stories and voices to be heard. Thank you to all the undocumented migrants who do difficult work here in the US.

Ayurveda
by
Sahara Rose Ketabi
Victoria
, June 03, 2018
This is an excellent book from an inspiring author, thought-leader, and powerful modern woman. Sahara brings in so much wisdom, heart, and soul into everything she does. It is clear that her dharma - her life's purpose - is to help bring the tools of Ayurveda to people's lives and help others to use these tools to deepen their connections with themselves. This book is a great way to start to connect with the principles of Ayurveda, analyze your doshic composition, learn how that influences what you do and how you feel best living your life, and see how you can incorporate these ancient practices into your modern life. Thinking of myself in terms of my doshas (Pitta-Kapha all the way!) is so helpful because it enables me to get a much more intuitive understanding of my soul and see why certain things feel so great or don't resonate.
