Join Cindi to discuss books from a variety of genres the 1st Monday of each month at 7pm.
Mon. Oct. 5, 7-8pm in the Colophon Cafe, downstairs Authors DO NOT attend.
October is our “Voting Month” and we have a blast sharing our favorite books, describing why we love them, and then voting on 11 books to read for the following year. Everyone is welcome to recommend a book or two. Bring a book to pitch, make lists, and enjoy the repartee. It's like a Harvest Feast of Books, and everyone will leave with a list of titles they had not considered but will want to explore. Enjoy a latte or glass of wine in the charming Colophon Cafe for tonight's event. (note: Regular Book Group sessions will be held in the VB Readings Gallery.)
Start: 7:00 pm
This richly illustrated book chronicles Seattle’s 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, which brought 3.7 million visitors to what would become the University of Washington campus to view a cornucopia of exhibits and entertainments. The authors recount in detail the history of the fair that brought Seattle and Washington into the national spotlight.
