      Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Yes, I’m a big fan of Mr. Coelho. I love his books. I’m still reading The Witch of Portobello and am still looking for his latest book, The Winner Stands Alone. I’m not sure whether it’s been translated to Indonesian. I can find the English version, but it’s quite expensive though ;) . Better wait for the translated version, its cheaper ;)
