Welcome to the first of the very long months filled with rain! For June, National Bookstore invited Korean-American bestselling author and the very fabulous Jenny Han for a book signing here in Manila! Photo from Kate of The Bookaholic Blurbs You know I never seem to get enough sleep a day before a book signing. For this one, I was running on (more or less) 5 hours of sleep but that didn't prevent me from enjoying the day! I wasn't able to check out the line outside the mall, but the news was fans started lining up as early as 11pm the previous day (Friday). How crazy awesome is that? Jenny treated the first 30 fans in line to a cup of hot chocolate! And then she arrived. Jenny was all smiles when she walked in wearing that lovely jade dress and started saying hi to everyone! I sat there, starstruck. I never get used to seeing authors of books I've read sitting there in front of me, just a few feet away. Before the Q&A started, I had time to talk and bond with friends a...

Still on a reading slump, but that doesn't mean I don't get excited over upcoming book releases! Check out my picks for this week! Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine Title: Evidence of Things Not Seen by Lindsey Lane Release Date: September 16th 2014 Published by: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) Want? Add to your Goodreads list! Summary (from Goodreads): When high school junior Tommy Smythe goes missing, everyone has a theory about what happened to him. Tommy was adopted, so maybe he ran away to find his birth parents. He was an odd kid, often deeply involved in his own thoughts about particle physics, so maybe he just got distracted and wandered off. He was last seen at a pull-out off the highway, so maybe someone drove up and snatched him. Or maybe he slipped into a parallel universe. Tommy believes that everything is possible, and that until something can be proven false, it is possibly true. So as long as Tommy’s whereabouts are undetermined, h...

Featuring a fellow Filipino who also happens to be a YA author, Jennifer Ibarra. I'm sharing with you an excerpt from her novel, check it out and let me know what you think! Title: The Polaris Uprising (Polaris #1) by Jennifer Ibarra Release Date: October 30th 2013 Published by: Tiwala Books Summary (from Goodreads): No citizen shall be left behind. Life in Neress is simple. For nearly four decades, people have known exactly what’s expected of them. Obey the rules, follow the path that’s been laid out, and everything will be provided for: food, shelter, education, safety. No need goes unmet.
