Thank You, Brazil!!!

Just wanted to give a very special THANK YOU to all my Brazilian readers for showing me such an amazing time! Your kindness, enthusiasm, generosity, and support of SONHOS (FATED) mean so much to me!

Blogger's Conference in Brazil!!

Hey Everyone!

On my third day in Brazil, my publisher, Intrinseca, hosted a blogger's conference. But, on our way to the convention hall, we stopped for lunch at a restaurant in world-famous Ipanema Beach, and I snapped a few pics along the way . . .

After lunch, it was onto the blogger's conference, where I took part in a Q&A, signed lots of the blogger's books, and meet some truly amazing people who love books & reading as much as I do!

We wrapped up the day with an interview . . .

Then it was off to dinner and the hotel . . . (no pics of this!)!

More to come--stay tuned!

First day at the fair when it was open only to school children--the floor was swarmed the next day!

My Brazilian publisher's (Intrinseca) awesome booth!

Another pic of the Intrinseca booth--I signed in the glass room, it was so well organized!

Couldn't resist posing beside the huge wall of IMMORTALS!
