Evolving Perceptions

This is a very very late post about the King and Queen Tour last March 10, 2019. I took a small break from blogging because of my busy schedule. I was actually studying for my midterms during this event then finals came and after that I went for a vacation for a month in the U.S and now I am in my second term of graduate school so I did not had the time to post this blog. Nevertheless, I was so happy and grateful that I got to see Cassandra Clare and Holly Black and got some of my books signed.

Me and Jenny Han The event was back in September 2018 in SM Megamall. I went with my sister because she is a big fan of Jenny Han. To All The Boys I've Loved Before is her favorite book series. She underwent spine surgery two months before the event and she still went to the event because she really would like to meet her Jenny Han.  The place took place inside a cinema, which I prefer because it is more comfortable than the past book signing events that I have been. During the panel, Jenny Han talked about the movie adaptation for To All The Boys I've Loved Before, which got everyone in the audience ...
