Welcome to our Book Hub page. This is a page to make it more easy to find anything on this website related to books, be it Pacific Northwest books, book reviews, looks at lovely bookstores, book trivia or book-related PNW events.
Pacific Northwest Books, Books Reviews, and more.
We especially love finding fiction about familiar local places. We love books on the PNW or written by local authors. We love photography books and…heck we love reading in general! While book blogging isn’t our main thing here (though sometimes our pull is in that direction), we do write book reviews or book posts from time to time.
What are you reading now? Or what’s your favorite book?Here’s what you’ll find on this page:

Book-centric posts and book reviews, freshly blogged.
Here are the most recent book posts we’ve published recently. Some might be about the PNW, travel, novels by local authors, or photography. Others may just be off-topic books that we’ve read and reviewed. Others might be about bookstores we’ve visited!

Book Groups and Forums

In conclusion & other stuff
We also accept guest posts from readers. We used to have a particular book review form but, currently, we’re just using our regular guest post form. If you’d like to write a book review, you can go here and just make sure you include the important info: author, ISBN, and your review stars and we’ll format it for you!
If there’s a particular book that you think we should read and review, you can contact us and let us know. We can’t promise that we’ll read and review it — but we’ll consider. Hey, you could always write one yourself!
As we mentioned, we particularly like reviews of: books by local authors, fiction set in local areas, fiction set in travel locations, Pacific Northwest books, books on the natural world, photography books…but we do plan to add some reviews in our off-topic section in the future.
We also accept posts on bookstores, or other book-related places such as libraries. We’ve visited many to most of Seattle’s bookstores and like to stop at bookstores when we get the chance to travel. Come to think of it, there are many book-related spots we can think of that we need to revisit (after a long time away from them) and write about!
If you’d like to add a book-related trivia quiz, you need to be logged in. You can find the form in your member profile. You can also start a book-related discussion group from there or join in one if we have any currently active book groups.
