On Wednesdays, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller List is published. Every week, we love to see what books have 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. It’s usually on Thursdays, but because of the holidays this week, we’re posting on Friday.
This week, we noticed some destination titles. Who’s been traveling or planning to travel? Don’t forget to pack some books and look for an independent bookstore at your destination.
