My experience at the Leipziger Buchmesse/ Manga-Comic-Con 2024!


This year at the LBM was the 10th anniversary and it was AMAZING I've experienced some cool things and met some awesome people!

I arrived at the LBM at around 2pm and there were A LOT of people

I stopped at a few stands and stages listening to what they had to say and reading about their books and ideas.

I also stopped at a stand that really catched my eye pretty far at the end, it was the "Bücher Alarm" Stand from a german podcast about books, the "LEIPZIGER BÜCHERTALK" podcast and they were interviewing some interesting authors!

At that stand I learnabout a really cool author called Andreas Gruber who has written about 30 books already and his latest book "Last Line Of Defense" was even a SPIEGEL Bestseller

I got the chance to ask him a question life on the podcast and even got to talk to him a little bit private!

After the interview Andreas also stayed at the stand for a little and I took my chance to get an autograph from him!

I'm definitely intrigued and eventually will buy one of his books when my financial situation is more stable again.

Other than the stands I've met a LOT of really cool people and some breathtaking cosplayers!

Unfortunately tho I didn't take too many photos since I went on my own and I focused on the experience but I still took at least a few pictures which I'll show you right here!

Despite a bunch of unfortunate events before and after the convention I had an amazing day and got home safely!

I will definitely be at the LBM again next year and I am really excited!

To end this article off I want to show what I brought back from the convention and also link the podcast and it's socials on the bottom!

See ya!
