The Escapist: What's Cool? Lucky 13!

What's Cool? is an anytime meme where I feature all the
Cool things happened, I got, blog news, and just anything Cool!

Hey lovelies! I'm so excited to share to you my Cool tales since the last What's Cool? post! Ready? :)

Back-to-Back-to-Back bookish events!

Kiss the event organizers of National Bookstore on both cheeks because they're bringing not only one, but TWO amazing YA authors this September!

Yep that's right! Meet Lissa Price, author of Starters trilogy and Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, This is What Happy Looks Like, and The Geography of You and Me, either on the NBS signing on September 20th at SM Aura Premier or on the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) on September 21st at SMX Convention Center. That is, if you're within Manila. Please take note that the signing in MIBF had a maximum number of 200 slots only.

My tip is to go there (whichever you prefer) earlier than you go to the last signing. If this is your first time, you must be there BEFORE 8 am. Because 8 am is not early. Expect to see around 200 people that time. Swear.

If you're from Cebu, meet these authors on September 19th on SM Cebu. For more questions, ask NBS on Facebook or Twitter or check out this FAQs.

And of course, don't forget Alex London's book signing event on August 30th!

Aaand as I mentioned above..MIBF!!!

This would be my first MIBF so I'm VERY excited! I think I have scheduled 'stuff' on the following dates but I'll use my magic wand so I wouldn't miss this fab event. Eeeep!! I'LL SEE YOU THERE!!!
