Hey, (mood) readers!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And, nope, I’m not talking about the holidays. Filipino bookworms, it’s our time to shine as one of the biggest bookish events is coming yet again!
Mark your calendars!
The 40th Manila International Book Fair will happen on September 11 to 15, 2019 at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City.
Whatever type of bookworm you are, you will surely appreciate the events lined up by the exhibitors. From the largest bookstores to countless publishers, the MIBF showcases literary pieces for all ages. Whether you like fiction, non-fiction, children’s books, and bookish merchandise, you will definitely enjoy this event!
For this year, there will be book launches, book signings, author panels, and academic seminars awaiting the attendees. For more details, visit their official site here or their Facebook page here.
Personally, I am very interested to visit the booths of the following brands:
- 8 Letters Bookstore
- Adarna House
- Anvil Publishing
- Fully Booked
- Lampara Books
- National Book Store
- Summit Publishing
- Book Depository
- Visprint, Inc.
If you are interested, here are some tickets you can print so you can enter for free! You can choose any of these and there would be no problem.
If you don’t have the time or capacity to print your own tickets, you can ask from Fully Booked and National Book Store customer service counters and they will provide them to you!
If you want to purchase tickets, though, they cost PHP 20 to PHP 35.
I will be visiting the MIBF 2019 on September 11, but I will try to come back on September 14.
I hope many Filo bookworms will enjoy their book hauls even though their wallets and bank accounts will be crying. Well, I don’t know about you, but mine surely would!
Share with me your MIBF Book Haul, soon!
