We read a lot and looked through the back covers of books this weekend at Le Mans. Reading enthusiasts had an appointment with “Make Read“, the Le Mans book fair this Saturday October 5 and Sunday October 6. More than 200 authors made the trip to Sarthe. It was not easy to stand out for the little ones. Especially since the star was Mélissa Da Costa. The best-selling author currently in France did 2 hours of signings under the white marquee at the Place des Jacobins in Le Mans. She also took part in a round table at the Scarron theater.

A shared pleasure
It was a shared pleasure, because Mélissa Da Costa’s readers, even if some waited more than 2 hours, were delighted to be able to approach her and exchange a few sentences with her. There was Christelle, for example, who read all her books and even bought a copy at the show so she could have it signed. “I told him thatshe had transported me and aroused in me strong emotions through these pages, and she thanked me.”
Véronique also really liked one of her books for trips to the Pyrenees and she wanted to meet the author.

And it was a pleasure shared equally by the writer. Mélissa Da Costa is at the top of sales at the moment and one could say that perhaps she has other things to do than spend her Sunday afternoons doing signings. Well no!
“My duty is to come and meet my readers, and I owe it to them” declared Mélissa Da Costa this Sunday during her signing session. “There is always a lot of emotion in these exchanges and most thank me for making them experience certain emotions and sometimes for making them question their lives.”

The last book of Mélissa Da Costa “Stand Up” published last August, 200,000 copies were printed.
