It’s time for a Thursday Theme, when we shine a spotlight on some of the titles featured in this week’s Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association regional bestseller list.
If October is the new December, it makes sense that readers have been shopping early for Halloween, too! When the temperatures drop and the leaves start to fall, it feels good to have a seasonal book at hand. (I’m counting some thrills and chills as well as the paranormal.) Plus, you can join me in singing “spooky in September” as well as “dancing in September” while you watch this new autumn ritual delight, something to brighten the darkening days:
