So excited to head back to this awesome bookstore in the heart of Multnomah Village! Annie Bloom’s is iconic in Portland (as is the shop cat, Molly). Portland is blessed to have so many great independent bookstores. Annie Bloom’s is a gem!

PS: Not to influence you or anything, but we’ll have cupcakes from a local Multnomah Village shop and wine on hand. Also, Molly. Who’ll stroll languidly through my speech and grab everyone’s attention. It’s OK. I’m used to it.
