A prova do crime


E aqui estou eu na Feira do Livro do Porto! Foi um prazer estar no stand da Editorial Presença, com os seus simpáticos vendedores, poder contactar com novos leitores e desfrutar daquela inspiradora atmosfera de letras e papel, desta vez ao ar livre.

Mais uma vez adorei a experiência, mas confesso que estava ansiosa por ser visitante também e poder folhear os livros dos meus escritores favoritos. São vários, mas aqui ficam os que nos últimos anos me roubaram mais horas de sono: Eça de Queirós, Júlio Dinis, Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Luis Sepúlveda, Mario Vargas Llosa, John Steinbeck, Graham Greene, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway.

Yes sir, in english...



Sem o imaginarem, os alunos do 6º D (ano lectivo 2008/09) da EB 2,3/S de Caminha ajudaram o meu blogue a ficar mais internacional. Thank you for the complements!

On 2nd March 2009, Sandra Pinto, a young writer, came to our school to talk with us. Sandra Pinto is 34 years old. She was born in Póvoa de Varzim (North of Portugal), but she lives in Vila do Conde and works in Porto. She is married and she has got a daughter. She is tall and thin. She has got brown eyes and brown hair.

Sandra is nice, friendly, kind and an optimistic person. She is a dreamer and she fights for her dreams. She loves reading and writing. Her first book was based on a diary that she wrote when she was 13 years old. The book “A minha vida está de pernas para o ar” was written during a difficult moment of her life.

She talked about herself and her work and she told us that she goes to work by underground and she reads and writes some notes during the trip. Then, we asked some questions and she answered very nicely. She autographed some books. It was an interesting and wonderful talk.
