Portland Book Week 2025: Banned Books, Silent Reading, and a Claw Machine
"If you think you've hit every bookshop in the area, well, you probably haven't."
"Portland Book Week offers a sweet range of readings, workshops, and meet-cute opportunities."
"A wine flight inspired by banned books will serve a tasting flight of 11 wines, each paired to a banned book."
"Dr. Jamison Green, author of the memoir Becoming a Visible Man, will host a reading at White Oak Books."
