Do you like to go to book fairs or festivals? What do you do in such places? Is it the opportunity to meet your favorite authors? to have their autograph?
What is your favorite book festival?

Sadly, I've never been to a book festival! I really want to go someday, but so far that hasn't happened. I imagine it's a great place to meet fellow book lovers and authors! I would love to go with a big group of friends.

We have a lot of different book festivals in Strasbourg: for comics, for audio books, for illustrators and children's books, for translations, for fairy tales, for books in general... I love these places. I Can meet authors, illustrators, book lovers like me. There are also great exhibitions, conferences, workshops. My daughters especially love the comics festival in June, it's the opportunity to meet writers and to buy lots of comics! They also liked the audio book festival in May. We wrote and recorded our own audiobook. They were really proud!

I've been to school book fairs, but stopped finding good books at them in about fourth grade. Which was sad. I've never been to a book festival, but that sounds like heaven.

that's awesome! We can share and discovery new books, new authors. I write them on my calendar not to miss them!
