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 always enjoy the 'CHRONICLE OF' series of books, which present easy chronological histories of various rulers and empires throughout history. This one focuses on the ancient Egyptians, starting in 3150 BC and ending with the death of the famous Cleopatra in 31 BC. Thousands of years in 224 pages is not an easy assignment. The book breaks the chapters into the Kingdoms, with each dynasty defined, including the Nubians and Greeks. There is a ton of information and eye candy galore (tombs, mummies, pyramids, gold) to keep the reader's curiosity satiated. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting a primer on Ancient Egypt or for anyone, like me, who had just watched Boris Karloff in THE MUMMY and found the middle silent-film sequence horrifying. Book Season = Year Round (sandy silence)
