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.
As some people work to turn over a new leaf for the new year, we noticed that a lot of the books on the bestseller list have a self-improvement theme (or at least title, like Jessamine Chan’s and David Sedaris’s books). What do you think about New Year, New You? Are you trying to acquire any new habits or skills in 2022?
