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.

You could use this week’s list as inspiration for book shopping and for what to name a goldfish, dog, hedgehog, cat, houseplant, or other new member of the household. Don’t you think guinea pigs named Achilles and Addie LaRue would be fun? Or cacti named Hamnet, Sonya, or Waldo?
