Our Bargain Table AND Black Cart are only $1 AND BOGO!!! That means books start at only .50 cents if you buy two! THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY!!!! More books will be added each day!
Accepting applications until Sept. 5, 2019. I started #jolabokaflodpdx last year to give #indie #authors a local festival they could participate in for a reasonable price, like the #NWBookFestival in #PioneerSquare used to be, and we had a blast—over 200 people came in 2 hours and the music and food and art made it a joyful noise 🥰 More details on my website: bit.ly/jolabokaflod and apply via bit.ly/jola-app-2019 to join the fun!
