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.
With the summer solstice coming up, we’re thinking of getting out into nature and going on adventures, and maybe your book hauls have been reflecting that. Did these books with rivers and trails in the title (or one of the connected ones we highlighted) catch your eye yet?
