Sallie Tisdale and Elizabeth Fournier Death Trivia
Broadway Books 1714 NE Broadway, Portland, OR, United StatesDeath is the start of a great adventure—never mind that you might not be around for it. Did you know there are more than 200 corpses of failed climbers frozen on Mount Everest, and that you're more likely to be killed at a dance party than while skydiving? Or in Japan, a burial site is sometimes offered as an employee benefit? There are three inevitable things in life: taxes, death, and wacky trivia about death. Join us for a macabre round of froth led by the Dames of Deathly Delights, writers Sallie Tisdale and Elizabeth Fournier, the Portland authors who brought you Advice for Future Corpses (And Those Who Love Them): A Practical Perspective on Death and Dying and The Green Burial Guidebook: Everything You…

Storytime: Too Early
Online N/A, Portland, OR, United StatesA gentle, cozy story following a family’s bleary-eyed wake-up routine, a little one who’s eager to start the day, and the quiet magic of early mornings. I wake up very early. Good morning, Sun, on your way at last. You don’t wake up nearly as early as I do. Now the wind is waking. Tickle tickle on my cheeks, rustle rustle through the leaves.
