Event Preview: Laini Taylor, Alison Hallett, Emily-Jane Dawson, and Me at the Central Library

Who is this masked man behind Reading Local anyway?  You can find out tomorrow (2/1 at noon) if you hop on over to the Central Library and attend Title Raves, wherein the Portland Mercury’s Alison Hallett, award winning author Laini Taylor, Multnomah County Library blogger Emily-Jane Dawson, and myself will be raving about our favorite books and the blogs that discuss them.  You will have the opportunity to rave about your reading faves as well, be they books or blogs!

I was asked to provide a list of the books and blogs I would be raving about, so I thought I might share them here as well:

Books- Couch by Ben Parzybok; Dot-to-Dot, Oregon by Sid Miller; Chasing Smoke and Lost Dog by Bill Cameron; Everything Was Fine Until Whatever by Chelsea Martin; Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead – The Frank Meeink story, as told to Jody M. Roy.

Blogs- Portland Mercury’s Blogtown; Rose City Reader; Oregonian Books; Paper Fort; Pinball Publishing’s Coin-Op; Galley Cat; Tin House Books Blog; and the Hawthorne Books Blog.

So please come and bring a friend or two!  What books and blogs will you be raving about?  Please feel free to give them a plug in the comments below.
