Every Wednesday, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association publishes the regional bestseller list. On Thursdays, we celebrate Thursday Themes to shine a spotlight on some of the books from the list and give our brains a different way of thinking about books.
This week, we’re featuring Black authors as a reminder that supporting Black authors is another way to celebrate Black History month. Wouldn’t it be great if we saw more Black authors on the list every week? Can we challenge you to help see Black authors on the Hardcover fiction, Paperback fiction, Children’s illustrated, and Children’s series lists, too, for next week?
