Portland Book Blogs – Roundup

Roundup - Because there's a lasso in the book.

Hey, Hey fellow Book Nerds! I’m back with another round of fun or interesting links from the local wunderkind of Book Bloggers. Okay so there’s a few other random things in there to, but I try to stick to our beloved PDX and the great links she provides. Without further ado.

Blogtown, PDX (Mercury)
Moth Storytellers Announced
-If you are like me and missed out on even hearing about this until this announcement, at least you can take a few moments to torture yourself and read about which authors you’ll be missing.

Reading Local: Portland (Yep, totally plugging one of our own posts)
Story Time at Wieden+Kennedy
-A link to Widen+Kennedy’s new Story Time feature on their site. Stories by and read by young authors set to a breathing soundscape. Music, sounds, voices. It’s two steps shy of a short radio play and it’s awesome.

Hawthorne Books
Books in the House: Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead
-Just some fun and exciting news that you can preorder this great new book from Hawthorne Books. A great little publisher here in PDX.

Powell’s Books Blog
Handmade Items for Book Lovers
-A fun gallery of little items and décor for books or involving books.

Powell’s Books Blog
Staff Top 5s of 2009
-I’m sure you have your list, but here’s a list of favorite books from the staffers at Powell’s. It’s a wonderful list and I always find it wonderful to find out what others have read/are reading.

The Morning News
The Tournament of Books: Judges and Shortlist
-Okay so it’s not technically a Portland Book Blog, but I love the tournament of books and think that everyone should get in on the action as this tournament heats up over the next couple months. Who knows maybe we will start a money league here on RL. J

All Day Coffee (G. Xavier Robillard’s Blog)
Voters Head to Ballot Box to Hammer Final Nail into California’s Coffin
-A bit of humor from the always funny author Mr. Robillard.
