John Green's The Fault in our Stars was left in the Modera Hotel lobby in Portland.
Wonder by RJ Palacio was left along the line forming to get into the World Domination Summit.
The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate was left outside the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
Happy Reading!
I found this book this weekend on my way to the bus stop after a trip to Powel's books. I was walking down 6th st., and a homeless woman was walking the other way, across from a mother and daughter. The homeless woman was yelling unintelligible things, frightening the two ladies. She then yelled as I got closer, throwing the book across the sidewalk, where it hit the ground, slid, and hit the daughter in the foot as she kept walking. I walked past the mother, daughter, and apparently furious homeless woman. I looked down at the book, "The Fault in Our Stars", something I'd wanted to read. I picked it up and looked back at the homeless woman as she yelled "I hate that book!". It seemed she hated many things, but with unclear reasoning. So, I scurried around the corner to the bus stop, in hopes that the woman wouldn't chase after me. Needless to say, I've never read a book so quickly. Thank you for allowing it to be shared with the world, and I look forward to passing it on.
