Bookish Events: Book Fair at the Museum of Art of Puerto Rico

For this Bookish Events series, I started last week telling you about when I met the author of El Finalito, Ricardo Martí Ruiz.

Bookish Events: Meeting Ricardo Martí Ruiz, author of El Finalito
Hi everyone! Today I'm starting a new blog series: Bookish Events! And for my first post, I'll be telling you about a book signing event I attended back in August. I've been wanting to write a post about this for a while because I adore bookish events. But unfortunately, I've only attended a few of them. I wish one day I can be able to attend BookCon or any other book convention. It's my dream!
