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.

This week, several authors had two or more books on the bestseller list. Might Robin Wall Kimmerer go from two to three next week if Bud Finds Her Gift gains traction? Do you tend to read in order of publication?
