Hi Book Folk! So unfortunately, this is going to be a Short Edition of the weekly roundup. I won’t make excuses, but I will say I will need a month of detox and some good calm reading to recover from a ridiculous weekend. Just too much. I look forward to the tasty words of Cormac McCarthy, Charles D’Ambrosio and maybe finishing the last few stories I have left in Portland Noir. And I will be back next week with a full host of links for your Portland Blog Roundup.

A Very Fine Engagement
-Now I am truly, truly sad I couldn’t make it to Kevin Sampsell’s reading last week for his book A Common Pornography. He also managed to squeeze in a proposal to his girlfriend! Oh and there’s some other news at the bottom of this post, but it’s not nearly as exciting as the warm fuzzy from the engagement pictures.
