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. Big thanks to Cannon Beach Books of Cannon Beach, OR for the idea. So many of the bestsellers had blue elements, I had to be a little subjective when making the selections for this post. You’ll find royal blue, cerulean, aqua, robin’s egg blue… I also came up with a tiny poem:
Maybe you’ve read
a bestseller in blue?
So many covers
of a sky-colored hue!
