Welcome, Portland Book Readers!

Although our book groups have just started I have some ideas to hopefully make them a very entertaining place to spend an evening. Including: bringing in local authors to discuss their publications; local brewers to share their crafts; local winemakers to help get us tipsy; local publishers to talk about the books they are marketing; local musicians to perform their latest hit; local booksellers to talk about their new favorite books; maybe figure out a way to get local chef’s to cook up a special dish just for us; local filmmakers to give a private screening; in addition to invigorating discussions about the chosen book and wherever else the conversation takes us.

The groups will almost always feature books from local authors, although if a local publisher wants to highlight a new publication from an out of state author we will be open to that as well.
