Portland Book Week 2025: Banned Books, Silent Reading, and a Claw Machine
Briefly

Portland Book Week, initiated by Powell's Books and the Cascade Booksellers Association, has become a notable event in its second year, running from June 6 to 15. More than 60 bookstores in Portland, Vancouver, and Southwest Washington are participating, offering a variety of events including tastings, readings, and workshops. Highlights include wine tastings inspired by banned books and discussions led by prominent authors. The celebration also includes interactive elements such as a bingo card game for visitors, creating an engaging way to experience the literary culture of the area.
If you think you've hit every bookshop in the area, well, you probably haven't.
Portland Book Week offers a sweet range of readings, workshops, and meet-cute opportunities.
A wine flight inspired by banned books will serve a tasting flight of 11 wines, each paired to a banned book.
Dr. Jamison Green, author of the memoir Becoming a Visible Man, will host a reading at White Oak Books.
