On Wednesdays, the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller list is published. Every week, we love to see what has 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.
We noticed there are some books on the list that fill out the bookshelves a little differently because they are unusual in size. Tall and wide, narrow, petite– these books look intriguing even when they’re gift wrapped. Put your hands on some at your favorite independent bookstores.
