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 look for something special to showcase. Then we present this weekly feature: Thursday Themes.
Let’s fan the flames of excitement for these bestselling titles with references to fire:
We Burned So Bright TJ Klune (#3 Hardcover Fiction)
Between Two Fires Christopher Buehlman (#5 Hardcover Fiction)
Go Gentle Maria Semple (This might be a bit of a stretch, but the title refers to “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night,” by Dylan Thomas. The second line of that poem states that “[o]ld age should burn and rave at close of day.” So we’re including this.) (#8 Hardcover Fiction)
Construction Site: Firefight! Sherri Duskey Rinker, AG Ford (Illus.) (#5 Children’s Illustrated)
A Wolf Called Fire Rosanne Parry, Mónica Armiño (Illus.) (#6 Early and Middle Readers)
Howl’s Moving Castle Deluxe Limited Edition Diana Wynne Jones (Again, this might feel like a stretch, but one of the characters is a fire demon, and fire is prominent on the deluxe edition cover in ways that it wasn’t on the classic paperback cover.) (#7 Early and Middle Readers)
