Powells Books' the Best Books of 2018 (So Far)

We asked our staff to share their favorite books of 2018 so far, and mermen, refugees, Circe, the Donner Party, and a trippy film festival in Havana are just a handful of the fascinating subjects that poured in. It's clear that the best new releases of 2018 have been eclectic, bold, and imaginative, with a sharp eye on social realities and a desire to expose the humor, beauty, and possibility that underlie our lives. We're thrilled to share our top picks here.
