Wordstock Bookfair














This was at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. I took pictures of some interesting sculptures which (to me) took the form of Poppies and very large Hazelnuts.

When we entered the exhibit hall there were books everywhere! Hooray!

They had a kids area that was boring to me because the main activity was creating a book and that meant a lot of writing, (which I do not like).

These are the books that I ended up buying:

Wicked Nursery Rhymes by Gris Grimly
The Slippery Slope (Number 10 in A Series of Unfortunate Events) by Lemony Snicket (illustated by Brett Helquist)
It's All Greek to Me by Jon Scieszka (illustrated by Lane Smith).



I won an autographed copy of Where Dogs Run by Hunter Gregg.




There was a booth from a store called "Title Wave Used Bookstore" which sells retired library books at VERY cheap prices (and the profits go back to the library).
