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.

Saturday August 17 was Bookstore Romance Day, and the romance readers showed up! We have a lot of romance and romantic-subplot bestsellers on the list this week.
