Summer vacation is drawing to a close, and so is Book Nest’s summer series of author lunches. But we are going out on a high note with:

Melissa Hart, author of Wild Within: How Rescuing Owls Inspired a Family

Thursday, 21 August at Noon at Book Nest (located inside Indulge! Antiques)

Hart’s future husband, Jonathan, was already a raptor enthusiast when they met. She writes: “Though talons terrified me, I began scrubbing mews alongside him and ended up committing several years to caring for birds threatened by poison and gunshot and habitat loss—work that reversed our decision to live child-free and plunged us into the world of international and domestic adoption.” Hart is a nature and travel writer, memoirist, and University of Oregon writing instructor.

R.S.V.P. by e-mail (or phone) if possible, but don’t be afraid to drop in at the last minute.

Directions to Indulge! Antiques: From 105, take the Mohawk exit. Pass Bi-mart and Dutch Bros. and turn left at the next light. In the parking lot, take a jog to the left, then go straight back (away from Mohawk), between the two large buildings.  Indulge is on the back side of the building on the left, with the entrance facing 18^th St.
