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.
The spooky adult books might be too spread out for any few titles to dominate yet, but the kids’ Halloween titles are already flying (on a broom? on bat wings?) off the shelves. We see holiday titles at #1 and a mix of spooky and spooky-cute.
