It’s time for a Thursday Theme, where we shine a spotlight on some of the titles featured in this week’s Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association regional bestseller list.
Maybe it’s that the light is starting to get shorter every day; maybe it’s the smoke; maybe it’s school starting; maybe it’s hormones; maybe it’s the global pandemic… but it looks like last week many of us were drawn to books with emotions in the titles.
Crying in H Mart
Michelle Zauner (#4 Hardcover Nonfiction)
The Comfort Book
Matt Haig (#10 Hardcover Nonfiction)
Anxious People
Fredrik Backman (#13 Paperback Fiction)
Drama
Raina Telgemeier (#3 Early & Middle Readers)
Finally, this is more metaphorical, but it might reflect some of our emotional states:
Siege and Storm (Shadow and Bone series #2)
Leigh Bardugo (#7 Young Adult)
Hang in there, everyone! Take good care of each other. Stay hydrated. Remember that the right masks can help with the smoke and viruses. Read comfort books as needed.
