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.
A few weeks ago, we spotted a lot of dark covers in the adult bestsellers. While we await the solstice, the darkness is also on the kids’ and YA bestseller list:
How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney? Mac Barnett, Jon Klassen (illustrator) (#1 Children’s Illustrated)
