Remember how great silent reading time was in elementary school? The melting away of distractions while you lost yourself in a great book? Now you can get that as an adult too!
Join us at BOLD for a silent reading party. Bring your book or buy one here. Grab a drink or pastry, and lose yourself in those pages.

Arrive around 5:00 if you want to meet other readers and share about the book you’re reading. The background music switches to classical and the reading begins at 5:30 p.m. More book talk afterwards, at 6:30.

Event cohosted by BOLD Coffee & Books and Indigo: Editing, Design, and More.
05:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Monthly on every second Tuesday

We hope you had a great time at Portland Book Festival! Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi—and cash in on our new shirt designs!

This week also has a ton going on. Don't miss Tuesday's Silent Reading Party—we have a gift certificate for three audiobooks that we're going to raffle off! Yes, you read that right, audiobooks are definitely part of Silent Reading Parties (as long as you wear headphones, 😉).

Friday is the anthology reading for Niyyah Ruscher-Haqq's new Constellations project—an anthology of Muslim voices. (If you don't know Niyyah yet, you need to. She's a force, and this book is magnificent.)

Saturday has an afternoon workshop by the Chronic Pain Project, open to the public, a reading featuring Adam Oyster-Sands's newest poetry book (which is also an project!), and an off-site publishing professional social.

Plus all our recurring events! You know it's Novel November, right? Write, write, write at Bold on Wednesday and Friday!
