Witchy Watercolor @ Wonderlove

Rainbow Rowell
2026-04-14 19:00 - 21:00 | Powell’s City of Books, 1005 West Burnside Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Join us for a very special evening with the author of Eleanor & Park!

Bestselling author Rainbow Rowell returns with a breathtakingly honest novel about a woman who lost everything — and isn’t sure she wants it back. Everybody knows that Cherry’s husband, Tom, is in Hollywood making a movie… almost nobody knows that he isn’t coming home. Tom is the creator of Thursday — a semi-autobiographical webcomic that’s become an international phenomenon. Semi-autobiographical. That means there’s a character in this movie based on Cherry… “Baby.” Wide-hipped, heavy-chested, double-chinned Baby. Cherry never wanted this. No fat girl wants to see herself caricatured on the page — let alone on the big screen. But there’s no getting away from it. Baby looks so much like Cherry that strangers recognize her at the grocery store. While her soon-to-be ex-husband is in Los Angeles getting rich and famous and being the Internet’s latest boyfriend, Cherry is stuck in Omaha taking care of the dog he always wanted and the house they were going to raise a family in… and wondering who she’s supposed to be without him. Cherry had promised to love Tom through thick and thin. She’d meant it. One night, Cherry decides to leave all her problems, including Tom’s overgrown puppy, at home. She ventures out to see her favorite band play her favorite album… and someone recognizes her from across the room. Russ Sutton knew Cherry when she was a young art student with a fondness for pin-up dresses and patent leather heels. Before Tom. Russ knows Cherry. He likes Cherry. And best of all… he’s never heard of Thursday. Tender, funny, and utterly human, Cherry Baby (William Morrow) is Rainbow Rowell’s richest, most surprising — sexiest — novel yet.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of Cherry Baby. Books distributed at event.

2026-04-09 18:00 - 21:00 | Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing, 3415 Southwest Cedar Hills Boulevard, Beaverton, OR, 97005, United States
Join us for a very special evening with authors Marissa Meyer and Tamara Moss!

The Escape Game (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers) is an unforgettable YA murder mystery set in an escape-room-themed game show, by Marissa Meyer, bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles, and Tamara Moss, rising star and acclaimed author of the Lintang series. It’s all fun and games until someone ends up dead. Six months ago, season four of The Escape Game ended in horror when contestant Alicia Angelos was found murdered on set. Now season five is underway, and new contestants are ready to put their skills to the test solving the show’s trickiest escape rooms. There’s Adi, the cryptographer; Carter, the math whiz; Beck, the wannabe game master, and… Sierra Angelos, the girl who got away with her sister’s murder. Or so everyone believes. But Sierra’s not just here to win. She’s here for justice. When the contestants begin uncovering clues that hint at the identity of Alicia’s true killer, it becomes clear that the stakes aren’t high in this competition, they’re deadly. If these teens want to win — and survive — the game, they must solve the biggest mystery of all: who killed Alicia Angelos? The Escape Game is a twisty thrill-ride, filled with sabotage, betrayal, and puzzles to die for.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of The Escape Game. The event will feature a talk, Q&A, interactive game activities, and a raffle. Books distributed at event.

Suzanne Simard in Conversation With Ferris Jabr
2026-04-01 19:00 - 21:00 | Powell’s City of Books, 1005 West Burnside Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Join us on April 1 as we welcome forestry scientist and bestselling author Suzanne Simard!

With her bestselling book Finding the Mother Tree, forest ecologist Suzanne Simard introduced the world to the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. Now, with When the Forest Breathes (Knopf), she uncovers the ways that nature’s deep-rooted cycles of renewal can ensure the longevity of threatened ecosystems. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sensible forest stewardship, Simard has watched as timber companies leave forests at higher risk for wildfires, water crises, and plant and animal extinction. But her research has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a symphony of finely honed cycles of regeneration — from mushrooms breaking down logs to dying elder trees passing their genetic knowledge to younger ones — that hold the key to protecting our forests. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose models of responsible forestry have been largely dismissed, Simard examines how human interventions — particularly destruction of the overstory’s mother trees — endanger new growth and longevity. If we can honor the tools that trees have honed for sharing intergenerational wisdom, she argues, we can protect these sacred places for many years to come. As she considers how older living things facilitate the conditions for new growth to flourish, Simard faces parallel rhythms of loss and regeneration in her own life, watching her two daughters grow into adults and savoring her final days with her ailing mother. Animated by wonder for our forests and the intricate practices of caretaking that have long sustained them, When the Forest Breathes is a vital reminder of all the natural world has to teach us about adaptability, resilience, and community. Simard will be joined in conversation by Ferris Jabr, author of Becoming Earth: A Journey Through the Hidden Wonders That Bring Our Planet to Life.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of When the Forest Breathes. Books distributed at event.

Dr. Jennifer Lincoln in Conversation With Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari
2026-03-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Powell’s City of Books, 1005 West Burnside Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Join us for a special event with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln & Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari!

Birth is a transformative, remarkable process, but it can also be incredibly daunting and traumatic — especially if you don’t have the medically sound information you need to advocate for yourself. With misinformation rampant on social media and a dearth of trusted medical resources on the birth process, pregnant people feel left behind in a system that is failing them. Thirty-six percent of counties in America are labeled “maternity care deserts,” where there is no or limited access to obstetric care — and it’s only getting worse. We need a concise and comprehensive primer on the birth experience, whether that means a low-intervention birth or a complicated emergency C-section. In The Birth Book (Rodale), OB-GYN hospitalist and educator Dr. Jennifer Lincoln — author of Let’s Talk About Down There — delivers exactly that. Dr. Lincoln answers all your questions, big and small, about labor and delivery, providing crucial insight and understanding. Questions like: What is “normal” labor? What can I say no to? What are my options if baby is breech? How long does an induction take? And many, many more. Backed by research and personal experience and including enlightening illustrations, The Birth Book gives you agency over your pregnancy and birth, along with context for the many choices you’ll need to make. With Dr. Lincoln’s help, readers will have an evidence-based resource at their fingertips for a better, safer, more informed birth. Dr. Lincoln will be joined in conversation by Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari, board-certified OB/GYN and author of the forthcoming new book, Labor: One Woman’s Work.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one paperback copy of The Birth Book. Books distributed at event.

Tayari Jones in Conversation With Kiley Reid
2026-03-24 19:00 - 21:00 | Powell’s City of Books, 1005 West Burnside Street, Portland, OR, 97209, United States
Join us on March 24th as we welcome An American Marriage author Tayari Jones!

Tayari Jones — bestselling, award-winning author of An American Marriage — has written an unforgettable new novel that sparkles with wit and intelligence and deep feeling about two lifelong friends whose worlds converge after many years apart in the face of a devastating tragedy. Vernice and Annie, two motherless daughters raised in Honeysuckle, Louisiana, have been best friends and neighbors since earliest childhood but are fated to live starkly different lives. Raised by a fierce aunt determined to give her a stable home in the wake of her mother’s death, Vernice leaves Honeysuckle at eighteen for Spelman College, where she joins a sisterhood of powerfully connected Black women and discovers a world of affluence, manners, aspiration, and inequality. Annie, abandoned by her mother as a child and fixated on the idea of finding her and filling the bottomless hole left by her absence, sets off on a journey that will take her into a world of peril and adversity, as well as love and adventure, culminating in a battle for her life. A novel about mothers and daughters, friendship and sisterhood, and the complexities of being a woman in the American South, Kin (Knopf) is an exuberant, emotionally rich, unforgettable work from one of the brightest and most irresistible voices in contemporary fiction. Jones will be joined in conversation by Kiley Reid, author of Such a Fun Age.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of Kin. Books distributed at event.

Join us on March 20 as we welcome Felicia Day back to Powell’s!

Felicia Day, actress and bestselling author of the “engaging and often hilarious” (USA TODAY) You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost), returns with a feminist graphic novel about the lost mythical character of Philonoe. Helen of Troy. Clytemnestra. Timandra. Three sisters, infamously cursed by the goddess Aphrodite to betray their husbands, are known the world over. But few know about the fourth sister: Philonoe. Lost to historical record, all we know from ancient texts is that she avoided the curse placed on her family and was granted immortality by the goddess Artemis. But why and how did this happen? Now, Day is determined to bring Philonoe to vivid life and fill in the missing pieces with this graphic novel retelling. Her story is a traditional hero’s journey with a feminist twist. Born as both a Spartan princess and with a wine-stain birthmark on her face, Philonoe is destined for a different fate than her sisters. Her remarkable but overlooked life is finally revealed in The Lost Daughter of Sparta (Gallery Books), a clever and engaging graphic novel that is perfect for fans of The Palace of Eros and Lore Olympus.
Please note: This is a ticketed event. Tickets include admission, as well as one hardcover copy of The Lost Daughter of Sparta. Books distributed at event.
