Book Signing: Leigh Bardugo

-




I love that she wrote a Harshaw Quote because
he is my favorite charater. He
is just funny and unique from the other characters in the books. 


June 21, 2015 I went to Leigh Bardugo’s book signing event in National Bookstore, Glorietta 1. I was so excited for this event because I love the Grisha Trilogy. The politics in books were amazing. It shows inferiority and superiority between the characters, and it shows how power is being used. The darkling was a very interesting character because in the book he is seen as this superior person but at the same time he was also inferior. And with that resulted his wanting to overthrow the current monarch. We are also presented with character that you will love, like harshaw, zoya, mal, etc… And even though they are different from one another they connect and create a perfect harmony between one another. Plus, it has a little bit action, romance and comedy that is not overbearing and will keep the reader entertained. The world building was exceptionally great. I love the Russian vibe to it.

Furthermore, meeting the author of one of my favorite books was such an honor. She is just an inspiring writer and she gives great advice to writers as well. I love that she is very active in social media and that she really talks to her readers.

I also met her lit agent, Joanne Volpe who is so nice. And I also want her job hahaha. 

 

Overall, the experience was so great. I can’t wait for Leigh Bardugo to be back and to read her next book six of crows. 








Thank you National Bookstore for this event. And to Leigh Bardugo and Joanne Volpe for the wonderful experience.

              I've read 8 books last month and most of them are part of a series because I want to finish some series like the shatter me series and the school of good and evil. I have also read and review an ARC for an indie author, which is Delight by Moras Dela Paz. I did try to finish reading Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas but sadly that did not happened so I'll try and finish that next month. Moving on to my wrap up... 1. Delight (Happiness #1) by Moras Dela Paz  You think you know someone… Serena and Eli have known each other for as long as they can remember. Their parents are good friends and all but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have to get along as well. Serena always thought that being a basketball prodigy destined for the pros has made Eli obnoxious and she finds his inflated ego out of this world. However, with failing grades hindering Eli’s road into the pros, Serena helps him out of kindness and goodwill. Just kidding! Truth be told, she prefers
