Reading Local: Portland

Please join me in welcoming Reading Local’s newest contributor, Amy Baskin:

Amy Baskin reads YA and children’s literature sometimes to escape, sometimes to help interpret reality. She writes for pretty much the same reasons. Like many Portlanders, she hikes, bathes, sleeps and eats with book in hand. Her limited concept of home decorating involves stacks of books- in corners, on tables, where the TV used to be. She blogs about kid lit at Euphoria and posts timed writing challenges at Prompt Writes.
