Books Around the Corner 40 NW 2nd Street, Gresham

We will discuss All the Better Part of Me by Molly Ringle. At 7:30 we'll be Skyping the author! It's an inconvenient time for Sinter Blackwell to realize he's bisexual. He's a twenty-five-year-old American actor working in London, living far away from his disapproving parents in the Pacific Northwest, and enjoying a flirtation with his director Fiona. But he can't deny that his favorite parts of each day are the messages from his gay best friend Andy in Seattle--whom Sinter once kissed when they were fifteen. Choosing the right role to play has never been harder. Available at a 15% discount to order if you plan on attending the book club.
