I attended the Meet Between The Pages: A Bookworm Party by Fully Booked last Saturday, October 19, 2019 in Fully Booked: Bonifacio High Street. I was nervous to attend because I am an introvert and I do not do well with social events. But the staffs were very welcoming and the other bookworms were very nice. It was fun to meet a lot of people who share the same interest as me. We got to talk about our favorite books and I also got a lot of recommendations.  The Book Buffet Table, wherein a lot of books and arcs for grabs were displayed.  They also made a section where we can take pictures for bookstagram.   I also received three advanced reader's copies from Penguin Random House.  1.

So moving on here are the books that I read:  1.

It is a light read which is perfect for a summer read by the poolside. It is comparable to Nancy Drew since both characters both amateur detectives and their stor...
