Hello everyone!! Some days ago, a very special event happened here in Brazil, an international book festival called ''Bienal do livro''. It is a huge event that happens in various states of Brazil every other year. The edition that occurred in São Paulo, where I live, is known as the biggest book convention in Latin America. Over the course of 10 days, this year, the event received more than 760k book lovers. We had national and international attractions and authors such as Jay Kristoff, Lynn Painter, Ana Huang etc.

Anyway, it was a big thing and an amazing experience.Now that the stupor has left my mind, the whole experience has got me wondering what are the other similar events that happen in other countries. I am sure most people from outside Latin America, and to be honest, probably from neighboring countries on the continent, have never heard from Bienal. I heard from people with who I grew up with that they didn't think the festival was that big of a deal. If the people right beside me were unaware of this whole thing, I know for a fact that there are a lot of other fairs that occur all year around that I have no knowledge of.

Is there something like that where you live? How is it? Have you been to an event like this?
