Silent Reading Party: Americanah

Rose City Book Pub 1329 NE Fremont, Portland, OR, United States

Read alone, together. "I never have time to read." "There's too much to do at home." "I want to hang out with people, but I don't want to have to chat." Does this sound like something you'd say? If so, join us for a Silent Reading Party for an opportunity to read quietly in congenial company. The first 10 participants will get a copy of Americanah, Multnomah County Library's Everybody Reads 2019 book by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Copies of the book will also be available for purchase. Drinks and food will also be available for purchase. Hosted at Rose City Book Pub, 1329 NE Fremont St., Portland, OR, 97212. First come, first served.
