We're a group of bloggers, authors, and all-around-lovers of Young Adult books located in the Pacific Northwest. Most of us are based in the Portland, Oregon metro area, but we're looking to connect with like-minded folks across Oregon and Washington.
We hope this site will provide you with event recaps, book reviews, authors interviews, guest posts & more.
We're always looking to keep track of author events happening in and around the Portland area, so if you know of one, let us know!

Hi, I'm Benji Kenworthy of The Non Reluctant Reader, which I've been blogging at since January of 2011. I'm one of those odd male book bloggers, and I'm also one of those young teenage book bloggers. So I'm pretty much a minority in the blogging community no matter how you slice it. A true Northwesterner, I can't stand the thought of weather over 60 degrees. I also go by many different names and titles, including but not limited to: The self proclaimed king of sarcasm. Soccer Fanatic. Pizza addict. Vegetarian. Lunatic. Remember, I eat the brains so you don't have to. Find me on Twitter and Goodreads.
Hi! I'm Burgandy Ice (secret stealth name: Laura) of Colorimetry. I own a business with my best friend & husband and we have four kids - 3 boys -n- 1 girl - and it's CRAZY around here!! I write obsessively & read constantly, so book blogging is totally awesome! I like YA Fantasy/Paranormal best, but love the classics, historical romances & the occasional automotive restoration manual. (?) I especially enjoy promoting books & meeting other book lovers. Come say "hi!" - Twitter: @BurgandyIce, Facebook,
Goodreads, LibraryThing, Shelfari, Pinterest and LiveJournal.
The Dancing Reader:
I'm a teen girl in highschool who has a love for dancing and reading. I mostly enjoy Paranormal YA, contemporary, and dystopian! Truth be told, I am a sucker for romance. Every novel I read pretty much has to have SOME time of romance in order for me to enjoy it! =) On a different note, I first started blogging on The Book Barbies during late August 2011, but had to leave periodically for personally reasons. Soon enough, I came back late December 2011 with The Dancing Reader. You can friend me on Goodreads or follow me on Twitter.

I have always had a healthy passion for reading. My love of books started at an early age, as soon as I could read my life long love affair for books began. Reading to me is one of the finest pleasures in life. My guilty indulgence is a good book, a soft blanket and a cozy concoction. It is thrilling to hold a book in your hands and wonder at the secrets that are buried deep within. Then page by page the story pours out revealing it's heart and soul until there is nothing left to show; nothing left to say. To me a good book is one that continues to call to you after completion. The characters are still whispering in your mind; their story threads reaching out to entangle you even as you pick up another book to start the wonderful process anew. Each book is a new adventure, a new story, another find. That is why I read!
I am currently a stay at home mother of two toddlers, who keep me very busy. I also have a wonderful, supportive husband without whom this blog would not be possible. I am a recent transplant to the rainy, region of Portland, Oregon; thus the reason for my blog Rainy Day Ramblings. The many rainy days here provide me ample time to snuggle up under a comfy blanket with a cat and read while the rain drips down my window.
I also, when I find time, enjoy baking, candle and jewelry making, cross stitching and spending ample time with family.

Lieder Madchen is an avid reader and addicted blogger who can usually be found either reading a book or writing one. Her love of make-believe is equaled by her love of music and travel. Books are the only things that have kept her sane as the fifth of nine children living on a farm with four goats, four cats and a dog. Well, mostly sane. It depends on who you ask. Her greatest wish is to publish one of the novels she has had rattling around in her head. She reads and writes just about anything so long as there is kissing at some point. She especially loves happy endings and has a weird love/hate relationship with cliffhangers.
