Portland readers (and visitors) should check out the pretty new home for Reading Local: Portland. There you’ll find book reviews, including lots of love for small local press books; book excerpts; news about upcoming literary events in and around Portland and a directory of Portland bookstores. Right now, the content includes an interview with Jon Bell, the author of the Sasquatch title On Mt. Hood: A Biography of Oregon’s Perilous Peak, and a video guide for using Reading Local. The site is written and edited by founder Gabe Barber, who describes himself, refreshingly, as a book nerd and “not an aspiring author.” Nicely done, Gabe!
