LEGO Fans Zone1LEt’s GO BuildLEt’s GO Build was established in 2015 as one of the first nationwide, publicly accessible spaces for enthusiasts of building with Lego bricks.
What started as a small group suddenly began attracting more people eager to contribute to the forum. Initially, members could be counted in the hundreds, and later, in the thousands. For a long time, Let’s Go Build remained the largest and most active Polish forum dedicated to Lego bricks.
Today, LEt’s GO Build expands beyond the online world, appearing at events such as Klockon in Będzin and klockoMANIA in Wrocław, distributing souvenirs during the opening of LEGO Stores, and supporting the Lego Fan Zone at Pyrkon in Poznań.
Over the years, the Let’s Go Build forum has helped forge new friendships and laid the foundation for many builders’ projects. While much has changed during this time, as the team celebrates the forum’s tenth anniversary, they promise to continue adding their own “brick” to building the community of Lego fans in Poland. -

Literature Zone16Patricia BriggsPatricia is the #1 New York Times best selling author of both the Mercy Thompson series and the Alpha and Omega series; she has written thirty books to date and has no intention of stopping! In addition to her two urban fantasy series, she has written fantasy novels, short stories in several anthologies, and also a series of comic books and graphic novels based on her Mercy Thompson and Alpha and Omega series.
Patty was born in Butte, Montana, back in 1965. If you’re good at math, you’ll have deduced that she’s currently twenty-nine. In fact, she’s been twenty-nine for a while and has no intention of getting any older. Fiction authors don’t obey the laws of space and time, they invent them.
Patty is a prevarication professional. She lies for a living, telling whoppers and fibs so outrageous that people pay her to fib some more. Her only concession to honesty is that she tells people she’s lying to them, which is what separates a fiction author from a politician. She loves to play with her imaginary friends, and meeting with readers who know her imaginary friends is a treat. Her biggest complaint with writing is that she has far more ideas for stories than time to write them. It is her gift and her curse!
Patty began her career writing traditional high fantasy novels in 1993, and shifted gears in 2006 to write urban fantasy. Moon Called was the first of her signature series about Mercy; the non-stop adventure left readers wanting more, and word of this exciting new urban fantasy series about a shape-shifting mechanic spread quickly. The series has continued to grow in popularity with the release of each book, including the spin-off Alpha and Omega series, which are set in the same world as the Mercy Thompson novels.
Amazon has recently optioned the rights to the Mercy Thompson series. An option is not a promise to make the project happen, so Patty is patiently waiting to hear if and when it will be green lit. Many fingers and toes may still be crossed at this time.
Patty resides in Eastern Washington near Tri-Cities, home of Mercy Thompson; yes, it’s a real place! When not working on the next book, she can be found playing truant out in her horse pastures, playing with the newest babies.
