On Wednesdays, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller list is published. Every week, we love to see what has been most popular in independent bookstores around our region. As we peruse the list, we ponder patterns. Then we present this weekly feature: Thursday Themes.
There can be lot of repetition in the indie bestseller lists, both regionally and nationally, so it is sometimes a challenge to come up with a fresh take for these weekly posts. This week, we’re noticing metals on the list.
Iron Flame Rebecca Yarros [“iron”] (#1 Hardcover fiction)
Demon Copperhead Barbara Kingsolver [“copper”] (#3 Hardcover fiction)
Lessons in Chemistry Bonnie Garmus [chemistry includes metals] (#4 Hardcover fiction)
Construction Site: Taking Flight! Sherri Duskey Rinker, AG Ford (Illus.) [metal main characters!] (#3 Children’s illustrated)
The Chalice of the Gods Rick Riordan [maybe that’s a metal chalice?] (#6 Children’s series)
