About this time last year I was geeking out on The Doris Diaries. If you found yourself interested in following the adventures of Portland teenager Doris Murphy as told through her diaries (ca. 1920s), you can now find the first volume of The Doris Diaries in either the Multnomah County or Clackamas County library systems.
Editor Julia Park Tracey is holding the release event for the second volume at the Hollywood Theatre, and I’ve got a giveaway for Bookish readers!
Doris at the Hollywood Theatre (Facebook event) on Wednesday, September 25th at 6:30pm, won’t be a normal book release party. Julia will be hosting a screening of Wings, a silent film from 1927 with “it” girl Clara Bow and Gary Cooper.
Thanks to Julia (thanks Julia!) Bookish is giving away two tickets to this book release party/film screening. To enter, leave a comment below with a favorite diary-related memory. (It doesn’t have to be your diary!)
Winner will be chosen after 6pm on Sunday, September 22nd, and will be contacted via email for ticket arrangements.
What’s your favorite diary-related memory?

When I was a kid I used to leave a single hair on my diary to make sure my little sister didn’t try to get into it!
I was the little sister who snuck a peek into her sibling’s diary. Conscience-stricken, I couldn’t sleep one night for guilt. I was too afraid to tell her in person, so I sat up in the middle of the night and hand-wrote a confession to hand to her the next morning. She still loved me.
Congratulations! Robyn is our winner! Robyn, I’ll email you and arrange things.
