International Literature Festival, Rome 2012


In June I attended the Letturature: Festival Internazionale di Roma and had a great time. Living in Rome (Italy) I don't often get the chance to go to in-person events like this so it was exciting to be able to indulge in some bookish fun for once.

On the night I went, the big guest speaker was Madeleine Wickham A.K.A. Sophie Kinsella. It was great to be able to meet one of my favourite authors. I love her Shopaholic series.

Here's a photo of us hanging out together during the event:

These were the guests for this edition:



Here's a few photo's taken during the event:

The event took place on Via del Fori Imperiali in the Roman Forum. Beautiful surroundings, excellent writers... a small piece of bookish heaven.

Have you ever met one of your favourite authors in person?
