Book Signing: Cassandra Clare and Holly Black (#CassiexHollyinPH)

-
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. I have been a fan of Cassie for a long time and I also got my older brother hook on the shadowhunter series since I adore the series so much. 
I quite enjoy the Q&A I love how comfortable Holly and Cassie are with each other and I love that it felt like we are all just talking to one another. They really interact with crowd and they were so funny. Their quirky banter really entertained me and I love learning about their favorite character from the other's book. Of course I had to wear my Isabelle Lightwood electrum whip bracelet. 
Even though I have been to a lot of book signings, I still get awkward and star struck in front of authors that I freeze. It was a good thing they were both nice and sweet. I got my copies of The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King signed. I have not read the Wicked King but hopefully having a signed copy will motivate me to pick up the second book. 
 I am so glad to have meet one of my favorite authors. It was truly an amazing experience. I got my copy of Queen of Air and Darkness, and The Bane Chronicles signed (Aside from Isabelle Lightwood, Magnus Bane is another favorite of mine).
I also got to see my bookish friends and I missed them so much because I have been MIA lately with my busy schedule. I love how books brings together a lot of people. 
 
Thank you very much National Bookstore for bring them and hosting this event.
