Book signing event



Last April 26 is one of the eventful day of my life. 
National Bookstore here in the Philippines hosted this event.

Just three amazing authors came to the Philippines! NBS invited them, ever since the announcement I was really excited for this event. see the picture above. those were only the books I've bought with me at the signing. Its kind of heavy but hey! It's worth it.
I decided to leave my house by 4am because I know there will be a LOT of people.I reached the mall by six am and guess what? I'm already number 51.
look at the crowd! I think there were 2000 bookworms who came to this event.
Tahereh Mafi. 
I went to this event and I haven't finished reading her books yet but I know from what my friends told me that her books is really good and I'm team Warner! she was really sweet and not to mention nice! to bad I couldn't talk to her longer but I did tell her that I love Warner.
The handsome Ransom Riggs.
 so when it was my turn for the signing. I was frozen I don;t know why so he started the conversation like this
Ransom Riggs: Hi!
Me: *starstruck*
Ransom: *signing my books and looked at me* It was nice meeting you. :)
Me: You're so handsome!
hahaha talk about awkward
and finally Veronica Rossi! 
before the signing I saw on one of the tweets from Ms. Karen Davilla and picture of her and Veronica Rossi and I was like,
OMG! she's so pretty! I need to buy her books! and so I did. she is really pretty and nice!

so all my babies got signed! too bad there's no name just a signature but It's better with nothing! Thank you to my friends with me at the signing it was really fun! and thank you to National bookstore for this awesome event.

Bookproblems: paperback or hardcover


 Paperback or Hardcover

I love paperbacks!  because they're cheaper and affordable but then I'm finding all Hardcover really beautiful and have the sudden urge to buy the hardcover books :3
So, last week I've decided to buy a book. I went to a local bookstore and found the paperback copy of Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. with my bookish friend Abby,I've asked her if I should  buy the paperback copy but then I've already have the hardcover reserved for me at another bookstore. I really love the US cover of Eleanor and Park it's so pretty and simple. I have the UK version of this but decided to sell it to buy the US cover.
After what I think 45 mins of thinking I bought the paperback version. I went out of the bookstore still troubled.
After 2 days I decided to buy the Hardcover (yea, I know. I sold the PB I bought again) I went to the bookstore and bought the Hardcover which I found really beautiful! I love it! (too bad it was a bit dirty, though). since Eleanor and Park is one of my best reads in 2013 buying this is hardcover wasn't bad after all.
So, today I've decided that I'm only going to buy the hardcover books to my favorite reads only. so far, I only have 6 hardbound books. :)
