It's no secret our city is full of book lovers of all kinds. From graphic novels to dense texts on niche interests, there's a reason we're home to the biggest independent bookstore in the country. But that's not all; we also have our own Portland Book Festival , featuring over a hundred authors and thousands of attendees who take over downtown every year. Today on City Cast Portland, Literary Arts senior artistic director Amanda Bullock is here to give us a sneak preview of the upcoming festival and reveal the one book Portlanders should be reading right now.
