So many wonderful events happening at YOUR bookshop. We are getting back into the habit of having interesting authors doing meet and greets or full-blown book talks and signings.
Daniel Winkler and his very popular book about hunting wild mushrooms are featured Saturday March 18th. It is one of the very best and most useful guidebooks you can own on the subject of mushrooms you are likely to find in the Pacific Northwest. And stories? Well, don’t miss what will be a fun, entertaining and informative author event. March 18th at 4 pm (to 6pm).
On Saturday the 25th let’s welcome new author Traci Grant and her book After the Rotting. She’ll be here 4:30 pm to 6pm on March 25th. Shelby Marker praised the book: ‘Loved every minute of reading "After the Rotting." The author, Traci Grant, does an excellent job getting the reader hooked right from the get-go. The story telling painted a picture that made me feel I was right there with Syd. Multiple times I wanted to reach through the book to give Syd a big hug or share in a laugh with her. The nature metaphors throughout were wonderful. Beautifully done and a powerful reflection on the author.’ Meet Traci and her book on the 25th!!!
Nearly Every first Saturday BookTree has a free writing workshop followed by a reading and an open mic. (it’s the PoetryIsEverything First Saturday Event aka PIE) This one kicks or National Poetry Month!

And on Wednesday April 5th we are having quite the event.
