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.
July is the month for the national Find Waldo local celebrations. Bookstores around the Pacific Northwest and the whole country organize community-wide Waldo searches, with customers finding little cardboard Waldo standees in local businesses to get to spend time in local businesses and have a chance to earn prizes. It’s a scavenger hunt celebrating small businesses. Summer is also a big month for travel, so it’s not a big surprise that we find Waldo seek-and-find titles on the bestseller list this week.
