Wicked Journey: Jennifer E. Smith and Lissa Price in PH


This is way way way way way overdue! I got caught up with school after this so I didn't get to post this immediately. But anyways, I got to see my Peculiar Family once again after not going to Alex London's signing last August. I'm just gonna dump all of our really beautiful pictures here. DISCLAIMER: The following photos aren't mine. They're from my very sexy friend, Charm <3)




(This is Momma Joan's gift for Jennifer E. Smith! A charm locket inspired by The Geography of You And Me.)

(Jera the birthday girl!)

And then there was that photo above. It all happened so fast. They approached our group and asked if we can be interviewed and then the rest was history. :) If memory serves, the interviewer asked me what we like about Jennifer E. Smith's books and I think I said something along the lines of long distance relationships and yeah.






Lissa and Jennifer arrived. Jennifer was even wearing tsinelas (Tagalog for 'slippers') and they just came from a storm free Cebu City. They shared their experience as writers, from balancing a day job to writing at night just to meet the deadline. They really are an inspiration.

Stacking the Shelves: On Impulse


Stacking The Shelves is a feature hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where bloggers share what books (both physical and digital) they received, won, bought, and borrowed.

As my post title suggests, yes, my recent book haul is on an impulse. With the Manila International Book Fair right around the corner and one of the major bookstores in my country just cut down their prices on books, well, who wouldn't get impulsive?



Bought:

Mila 2.0 - Debra Driza
Only Everything - Kieran Scott
Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma
The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead
Shadowland - Alyson Noel

To be signed:

Starters - Lissa Price
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - Jennifer E. Smith
This Is What Happy Looks Like - Jennifer E. Smith

Yes, you guessed right. Jennifer E. Smith and Lissa Price is gonna drop by the Philippines this weekend! They'll be over at the Northwing Atrium of SM Cebu on September 19, at the Level 3 Atrium of SM Aura Premier on September 20 and at the SMX Convention Center for the Manila International Book Fair on September 21~ I'm still not sure which venue I'll be attending but one thing's for sure, I will be there! :)


See you guys! :) Happy reading!
