Inspired by the long-running Seattle Silent Reading Party, creators Amanda Morgan & Karen Munro decided to create this event in 2015 for Portlanders to join with fellow readers each month in a new location to read silently in good company. With a cocktail and delicious food of course! Join them at The Side Yard Farm on June 28th for a summer evening with special guests Pearl Soda Company, Pastry Chef Anna Henricks of Sweetheart St. Johns and Chef Kusuma Rao of Ruchikala. Bring a picnic blanket, a good book and come hungry. Your ticket includes a sweet treat from Sweetheart St. Johns, food by Ruchikala and a beverage from Pearl Soda Company.
CREATORS OF SILENT READING PARTY PDX
Karen Munro is a reader, writer, and librarian. Lately she's trying to read more women, more people of color, more books that dont come easily. Karen has an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop and an MLIS from the University of British Columbia. She keeps track of her readings on Goodreads, and her writings on her blog. Sometimes she tweets things here. Two cats, one dog. Always chocolate, never lemon. If she can bike there, she will.

Amanda Morgan is a lover, not a fighter. Her long-suffering parents used to pry books out of her hands and force her to go outside. Now she just takes the books outside with her.

She is an adjunct professor at PSU and PNCA, and works at an architecture firm, focusing on affordable housing.
