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!

More Photos from the Brazil Tour!

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to share some photos of the second day on the Brazilian Tour--enjoy!

These signs were all over the streets of Rio--advertising INFINITO (EVERLASTING) for the Rio Book Fair!

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

View of the floor from the author's room upstairs.

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!

Well, I'm back from my amazing Brazilian Book Tour, facing down loads of laundry and going through serious coconut water and samba withdrawals!

I'm in the process of downloading the pictures to share with you--but, in the meantime, you can check out these videos. The first is from the signing in Curitiba, courtesy of Namoral TV, the second was done on my last day in Sao Paulo, courtesy of MTV Brazil.

Enjoy!
