| Stephanie Perkins in the Philippines! |
Event: Stephanie Perkins Book Signing
Event Date: July 6, 2014 Sunday
Location: National Bookstore, Glorietta 1
I fell in love with Etienne St. Clair in the pages of Anna and the French Kiss, and I was gushing over him and Anna’s story well until the end of the book. While I don’t feel as strongly engaged in Lola and the Boy Next Door, it was a pleasant read all the same. So I didn’t pass up the chance to meet Stephanie Perkins in person.
I was yet again overwhelmed with the crowd that gathered for her book signing. I arrived at the venue exactly the same time I did during Gayle Forman’s signing last January 18th, 2014, around 7 AM. My bookish friends Maria @ Reading is the Ultimate Aphrodisiac, Eunice @ Book Overdoes, and Karla @ Reads and Thoughts waited in line together. Also present at the event were fellow bookworms Bea @ Confessions of a Pinay Bookaholic, and Celina @ The Bookkeeper.
While waiting for the event to start, we went about eating brunch, talking amongst ourselves, watching the first episode of Delirium [which we were pissed off about in the end], and of course reading from our respective gadgets.
