[WEEKEND READS] Hyped for #MIBF2018

currently reading

Hello,

It's September. Christmas season officially starts here in my place 🎄🎅

But what's really exciting this month is the Manila International Book Fair (#MIBF2018) which is the annual Book Fair held here in the Philippines. A fab event where book sellers, book publishers, and book readers come together to celebrate books and just grab all the books we've all been holding off. Also, some publishers and bookstores have 20% off!!!

#MIBF2018 is a 5-day event and I'll be attending on 2 of those days. I'm going on Friday with my book bestfriend because buying all the books on a weekday is the best choice for #MIBF because less people. lol. Also, we need reasons to hang out, okay? I'm also going on Saturday with my college friend just so we can hang because we need to catch up. I don't know about photos but I'll try to have them. Especially for Friday 💖

Platinum End, vol 6 | Tsugumi Ohba (author); Takeshi Obata (illustrator)
This series is basically going downhill for me. I LOVE this duo but what the heck is happening to this story even. I honestly thought that it's going to be a psychological read like Death Note which is their first work together but then it started featuring more battles lately. And with all these heroes and villains look is not working out for me 😔

AUGUST WRAPUP (aka my birthday month which went by unnoticed)

we're back to this kind of bookish shots!

Hi,

As I mentioned before, I'm on a blogging slump. I'm not the most active reviewer/blogger out there but at this point, I'm never motivated to actually schedule reviews and generally post anything. at all. But I try to get these update posts every now and then 😅

Little life update corner right here, August was my Birthday Month. I didn't have any big birthday party or anything, as usual. Neither did I receive any books for my birthday which is sad af because usually I get a book or two. BUT I did get to spend my day on an out of town vacation with my family and the last Saturday of the month with my best friend and while I'm weirdly awkward, I still had a fantastic time. Also, we're seeing each other again on #MIBF (Manila International Book Fair) which is the biggest book fair in the Philippines. Super excited for it!

How to Find Love in a Bookshop by Veronica Henry | The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters | The Queen of the Tearling (the Queen of the Tearling #1) by Erika Johansen

I read How to Find Love in a Bookshop the moment I got it. It was a cute story although it wasn't something I was expecting. I was kind of hoping to read something cheesier maybe? But I do LOVE how it shows the impact of bookstores and booksellers to its customers 💖 The Cure for Dreaming, on the other hand was a really quick read for me. I LOVE Cat Winters' writing! I like the historical aspect of the novel as well as how it isn't doused with too much romance just enough to make me smile 😊 I finished The Queen of the Tearling last night. I started it a month or so ago. It had a rough and slow start for me. It's how fantasies go with me. I don't know why. I probably suck at getting into new worlds. However, around 60% or 70% of the book, things started picking up and I easily breezed through it.
