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 could make a display with water, boats, and ships on the covers of our bestsellers. Some look very dramatic, others very escapist. Which book cover would you like to be in?
