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...

I'm Glad My Mom Died

Jennette McCurdy

I'd love to be at the book club discussing this book! If you're a mother, or ever had a mother, you may be grateful McCurdy's story isn't yours. But despite the unpleasantness she experienced growing up under the smothering control of a woman in need of help she never receives, McCurdy's humor and belief in her own resilience will carry you from one chapter to the next. Equal parts hysterical and shocking, the book superbly chronicles a young woman's maturation, held up at every turn by her mother's own overwhelming insecurities and desperate need for dominance. In addition, McCurdy, a former child star who made her name at Nickelodeon, pulls back the curtain on the abuse she experienced at the hands of nefarious producers. There's no question the author is a woman of unquestionable strength and perseverance. McCurdy is a hero for daughters, young Hollywood actresses, and any woman challenging herself to become the hero of her own life.

Holly
by
Stephen King

, December 04, 2023
Stephen King sets a macabre table, inviting you to feast on a traditional hard-boiled detective story, with his signature flourishes of horror sifted into the mix. First introduced in King's Novel, Mr. Mercedes, detective Holly Gibney, recovering from the death of an icy mother, is hired to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. What initially appears to be a simmering, straightforward case rapidly erupts into a chaotic mystery involving an elderly pair of professors, a missing earring, and a basement loaded to the rafters with unspeakable horrors. Whatever you do, don't read Holly on an empty stomach!
