Silent Reading Party
BOLD Coffee & Books, 1755 SW Jefferson St., Portland, OR, USRemember how great silent reading time was in elementary school? The melting away of distractions while you lost yourself in a great book? Now you can get that as an adult too!
Join us at BOLD for a silent reading party. Bring your book or buy one here. Grab a drink or pastry, and lose yourself in those pages.
Arrive around 5:00 if you want to meet other readers and share about the book you’re reading. The background music switches to classical and the reading begins at 5:30 p.m. More book talk afterwards, at 6:30.

Jingle Books: Book Exchange Party
BOLD Coffee & Books, 1755 SW Jefferson St., Portland, OR, USWe all love getting books for the holidays, right?! But, sometimes those books are ones we already have. Or, they’re sooo last year. Or we just were hoping for one (or two or three!) more. Whatever the reason your book haul is not up to snuff, this year, Bold is here to save your Bookmas!
Come to Jingle Books on Friday, December 26 at 7:00 p.m. to celebrate the season with other readers. We’ll sip book-inspired drinks and play book games. Bring your own books to exchange with other readers, and enter to win more books from Bold!
The event is free, but RSVP is required. Register here at Meetup, Facebook, or at boldcoffeeandbooks@gmail.com.
Can’t wait to party with you!5 attendees
