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.
Each of these titles plays with language. Some rhyme; some are alliterative; some are repetitive but with small changes; some use homophones; some play on double meanings.
