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 Likeness
by

This is a pretty good plot and an enjoyable read if you can get over the fact that the detectives and most of the other characters cannot say a sentence without using the F word several times. I don't understand why? Is that the way people in Ireland talk or is it supposed to make them come across as tough? I found it very distracting; I was counting the F words instead of paying attention to the story. Not as good as the first book in this series.

Running With Scissors
by

A terrible book! Billed as "funny and heartbreaking"; I found it merely disgusting. There was nothing entertaining in the author's descriptions of the filth and depravity in which he lived with the guardian, his sexual exploits with a pedophile, his mother's insanity, a toddler sexualy stimulated by a dog! Where were the child abuse authorities? I'm sure Mr. Burroughs had a terrible childhood but I found nothing redeeming in the telling.
