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.
It’s a new year, but some of the bestsellers on our list have been on bookstore shelves for quite a while; they were originally published at least ten years ago. Let’s celebrate these long-time favorites still having a moment.
