Our December state has the only state flag that is double-sided. 99% of hazelnuts produced in the United States are grown in this state. Authors Beverly Cleary and Raymond Carver were born here. This state is the home to the deepest lake in the United States and tater tots were invented in this state. The world’s largest independent bookstore is located here. For the month of December, we are exploring “The Beaver State”- Oregon!
Brian Doyle’s Martin Marten is our December book. Doyle’s sharp observations and lyrical prose will take you to Oregon’s Mount Hood region with this coming-of-age story that will resonate with adults. It will also delight animal lovers.
Spoke and Word Books from Milwaukie is our indie bookstore partner. Thank you to road trip subscriber Colette for the bookstore recommendation. We’ve included their store logo sticker in this month’s box.
Do you have an out of control TBR shelf? Santa has his eye on you! A wooden ornament from Rustic Raleigh. This small design company opened in North Carolina in 2017.
Enjoy sweet treats from Oregon. Two packets of hot chocolate from Moonstruck Chocolate Co. Moonstruck Chocolate Co opened in Portland in 1993. On a personal note, my family lived in downtown Portland for a year and Moonstruck was one of our favorite local companies.
