The Must-See Highlights of the Book Biennial: Bobbie Goods on Top!
If you haven't heard about this year's Book Biennial, I wonder: are you living under a rock? Because, look, it was an event worthy of the "who's who" of the literary world! And, of course, like every great Biennial, bestsellers could not be left out of the list of heated debates and bags full of new books. One of the names that caught the most attention was Bobbie Goods, who simply stole the show. But wait a minute, because he wasn't the only one who shone! Let's take a look at these literary hits that made readers leave the Biennial with more bags than available arms. 😅
Bobbie Goods: the darling of the moment
Those who saw it, saw it. Those who didn't see it, are late to the party! Bobbie Goods was, without a doubt, the most talked about name in the corridors of the Bienal. With her new book, “Between the Shadows and the Dawn”, he not only managed to sell out the stock at the fair but also created an autograph line that seemed to last forever. (Seriously, some people brought snacks to endure the wait! 😂)
But what’s so special about this book? Well, it mixes an engaging plot with characters that could be your friends – or that crush you can’t forget. In addition, Bobbie has a unique way of constructing dialogues and twists that leave readers speechless. The result? Instant bestseller.
An interesting fact is that Bobbie addressed themes such as mental health, friendship and overcoming obstacles in a somewhat dystopian context, but full of relatable moments. Readers simply loved it. If you haven't checked it out yet, here's a tip: hurry up because this is one of those books that, once you start, you can't put it down.
Other Successes that Dominated the Biennial
Now, we can't talk about the Bienal and pretend that only Bobbie Goods existed, right? It would be unfair to the other authors who also rocked it! Let's take a look at who got the most buzz in the halls and left readers in love (and with their wallets a little lighter... 💸).
The Breathtaking Novels
The genre that never goes out of style – and for good reason! This year, romance novels continued to dominate bookshelves and hearts. Highlight for Clara Voss with your book “Love in the Opposite Direction”, which brings that perfect combination of forbidden love, drama and surprising endings. Clara managed to connect with young audiences, but also with older readers, thanks to the depth of her characters.
And who also shone in this niche was Roberto Alencar, with his work “To the Rhythm of the Heart”. He managed to mix romance with music in such a fluid way that it felt like a written playlist. Each chapter has a theme song – and yes, there’s already an official playlist on Spotify! Who said books and music don’t go together?
The thrillers that leave you breathless
For fans of mystery and suspense, the Biennial was also a feast. One of the biggest highlights was “The Code of Silence”, of Ana Luiza Barreto. The work is described as a true puzzle, where each chapter leaves you more confused – in the best possible sense. Ana managed to create a psychological thriller that is already being compared to authors such as Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins.
Another book that gave me goosebumps was “The Shadow of the Past”, by Júlio Mendes. With a plot that mixes past and present, Júlio created a narrative that captivates from beginning to end. They say that some people couldn't sleep after reading it. And look, that's quite a compliment for a good thriller, right?
Fantasy and Science Fiction: Universes from Another World 🌌
Now, if there's one genre that has been growing like a rocket in recent years, it's fantasy and science fiction. Authors are increasingly creative, and the public? Thirsty for stories that transport us far from our routine. Let's get to know the highlights of this group that's really good? 🚀
The epics that dominated the Biennale
If you like sagas that seem to never end (and we do, let's agree!), then you must have heard of “The Chronicles of Lúmina”, by Pedro Camargo. The series was already a success before, but with the release of the third volume, “The Fall of the Queen”, Pedro simply consolidated his place as one of the biggest names in national fantasy.
Another highlight was “Lost Stars”, by Larissa Dantas. With a more science fiction approach, Larissa created a universe where space travel and human dilemmas mix in a unique way. No spoilers, but the end of the book left a lot of people screaming at the Bienal – literally!
Magic, mystery and that hint of madness
And who said that fantasy always has to be serious? “The Fire Witch”, by Camila Araújo, brought a dose of humor and sarcasm that made a difference. The protagonist is full of flaws (like any normal human being), and this made readers identify with her even more.
Already “The Labyrinth of Dreams”, by Thiago Amaral, was one of the best-selling books in the genre. With poetic writing and a plot full of metaphors, Thiago took readers on a journey that was both magical and introspective. It's one of those books that you read with a notepad by your side to write down the memorable phrases.
The Nonfiction Books That Stole the Show
Of course, the Biennial is not just about fiction and fantasy. This year, non-fiction also had its moment of glory, with authors who knew how to explore important themes in an accessible and thought-provoking way. Want to know what the highlights were? Come with me!
Self-help and personal development
Ah, the good old self-help book… always present! But before you turn up your nose, know that the new generation of writers in this genre is sharper than ever. An example? “Be Your Own Light”, by Fernanda Ribeiro, which addresses how to deal with anxiety and find balance in such crazy times as ours.
Another book that was very successful was “The Small Steps That Change Everything”, by Caio Martins. The idea here is simple: stop trying to change your life all at once and, instead, focus on small habits that really make a difference. That's a concept that many people have taken home!
Real stories that move you
Stories based on real events also stood out. “Surviving the Impossible”, by Júlia Monteiro, narrates the author's experience with an accident that changed her life. It was impossible not to be moved by Júlia's strength and resilience – so much so that some people cried when they heard her speak at the Bienal.
Already “Memories of a War”, by Lucas Freitas, brought a detailed and impactful account of the conflicts he experienced as a journalist in war zones. It's the kind of reading that makes you appreciate the simple things in life even more.
