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.
This week, we noticed some Judeo-Christian religious terms– and one creation story main character!– popping up in bestseller titles.
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store James McBride (#1 Hardcover fiction)
Prophet Song Paul Lynch (#8 Hardcover fiction)
The Covenant of Water Abraham Verghese (#10 Hardcover fiction)
A Psalm for the Wild-Built Becky Chambers (#15 Hardcover fiction)
Eve Cat Bohannon (#13 Hardcover nonfiction)
