What a Great Night!

Wow! What an awesome crowd for last night's reading of the new anthology Portland Queer: Tales of the Rose City! Thanks, everyone, for being flexible about the seating arrangements (especially those who had none - but note Tom's creativity in finding a place to hunker down). Big thanks to our readers -- Dexter, Sage, Colleen, and Tom. And an especially big thanks to Ariel for making it all happen, starting with the book. So exciting to have an anthology that is totally Portland-produced: editor, authors, publisher, distributor. Broadway Books is proud to have hosted the first reading for this wonderful collection of first-person narratives. If you missed last night's reading, come on down and get your own copy of the book; you won't want to miss these stories!

City Walks Reading Tonight!

Laura Foster, author of Portland City Walks: Twenty Explorations in and around Town (Timber Press), will be at the store at 7 tonight to talk about her new book and some of her favorite walks. The book is a rich collection of eye-opening walking routes that are flat, easy-to-follow, self-guided, and accessible by public transportation. It includes great maps, fascinating history, and tips on snacks and off-beat treasures to be found along the way. Laura is the author of the beloved Portland Hill Walks, and at least ONE owner of Broadway Books is thrilled to see her tackle walks of the flatter variety! Hope you can join us tonight. You might want to get there around 6:30 to snag a good seat. Signed copies of either of Laura's books would make great gifts for friends and family.
