Today’s Featured Book Event:

Five Year Anniversary Celebration w/ Devon Monk (St. John’s Booksellers, @7:00pm): We have battled and struggled and made it to a cake-worthy milestone.  St. Johns Books celebrates 5 years in business!  We’ll have that cake, and eat it, and host a really cool author. Devon Monk, a Portland-area author, presents Magic on the Storm, the latest installment of her Allie Beckstrom series.  Set partly in St. Johns, the new book features a climactic scene in Cathedral Park, beneath the arches of our beloved bridge.  Birthday cake will be served after the reading!

Other Book Events Today:

Robert Dugoni (Powells Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, @7:00pm): Thriller fans, don’t miss meeting Robert Dugoni and having him sign a copy of his new book, Bodily Harm (Touchstone Books).  Robert lives in our sister city, Seattle and is the author of the NY Times bestseller, The Jury Master.  Bodily Harm is a gripping page-turner that is hard to put down.  Come check out the book and give Robert a warm Portland welcome.

Jim Woodring (Powells City of Books, @7:30pm): For over 20 years, Jim Woodring has delighted, touched, and puzzled readers with his lush, wordless tales of Frank. Weathercraft (Fantagraphics) is Woodring’s first full-length graphic novel set in Frank’s world, featuring the same hypnotically gorgeous linework and mystical iconography.

Gabe Barber started Reading Local in January of 2009 as a vehicle for exploring Portland's literary scene. He's not an aspiring author, and you won't find his work on a bookshelf or in any prestigious lit rag. He is however, a full on book nerd, with a passion for independent literature.
