👋 Hello from your neighborhood booksellers at Spoke & Word Books, here's what we are reading lately!

#spokeandwordbooks #bookrecommends #milwaukieor #portlandor #indiebookstore

We believe the work we do is inherently political. Ensuring that queer, fat, disabled, undocumented, BIPOC people SEE themselves in stories, histories, and in our public space is the most central value we share as a team. We stand in solidarity with you.

Portland Book Week kicks off THIS Friday and we are so GOSH DANGED excited to participating! Bookstore lovers know that the more bookstores, the better, and so come party with us and all our friends from June 6-15!
