Here’s what Portland is reading:
Annie Bloom’s Books
Still Into You by Erin Connor
Connor’s novel—about the ethically dicey but romantically spicy relationship between a struggling rock journalist and her rocker ex who agrees to an exclusive interview for the first time in eight years—topped Annie Bloom’s bestseller list in February.
Broadway Books
One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
Portland author El Akkad weaves together memoir, essay, and reporting on the Gaza conflict in a title that has been honored with the National Book Award and the Pacific Northwest Book Award and continues to be a top seller at local stores.
