Blind Date with a Book + Haul

Image
                              The DLSU writer's guild held a Blind Date with a Book event. This prevents buyers from judging a book by its cover since the book is wrapped and concealed with vague hints about the book. So me and my friend went to the event, which was held last March 14-18, 2016 and I got four books in total and each book is 150 pesos, which is a total bargain Seize the Night - Sherrilyn Kenyon Sins of The Night - Sherrilyn Kenyon UFO The Merciless - Danielle Vega                I love the concept of this book sale, since I am a bit biased with book covers in buying books. I had a lot of experiences wherein I buy books because of the covers but when I read it it was not good or I was not interested with the story.

But overall it was

              Check out the video I made showing what happened during the event.           I went to Sarah J. Maas' book signing event yesterday and I am still fan girling about it.

Anyway so last Sunday (May 6, 2016) was Victoria Aveyard's book signing, which was held in National Bookstore, Glorietta 1. I arrived to the venue at 7am to have an earlier slot, take note the registration starts at 10am and the event proper starts at 2pm, and when I got there the line was ridiculously long that I secured the 350 slot. I waited for 10 hours to have my books signed but it was all worth it. I met some great people in that event that shared the same passion that I have for books and I met this very amazing, friendly, and nice author.                  Victoria Aveyard was really nice and beautiful. She signed books for 1,200 people in the Glorietta event alone, which was insane. Her book are amazing at first when I saw a copy of the Red Queen last may I was skeptical at first at getting it because the synopsis kinda sounded like a mixture
