MIBF 2019: My promise last 2018!

I'm a certified book lover and hoarder. When I see discounts and sales at the bookstore, I would always make time to visit and save money.

The 40th Manila International BookFair was my fourth (if I'm not mistaken) attendance and I was still amazed by how many publishing houses especially locally exist.

It took place at SMX Convention from September 11 to 15, ten am to eight in the evening. Luckily, I got my MIBF tickets again from the generous Fullybooked.

Here was my promise last year and did it happen?

Congratulations to me!

I went to the MIBF twice again!

One, on the first day which was Wednesday because I need to claim a book. I was able to check out most of the booths except the Pop Hub because I was too hungry and it was nearly closing time.

There were creative and artistic booths again! Posted some below!

My favorite booth this year! 

I only bought these books! Yet, I took photos of the items that I would buy when I come back.

Luckily, a lot of them were still present during the last day of the event.

I was extra ecstatic that my bookish friend Mariel was with me. Though I visited most of the booths again, I still found something new.

I stuck on my list but apparently, I purchased a lot in the end. I always told myself that though my pockets are empty but my heart is happy.

Here is my stash!

I didn't line up for any book signings but surprisingly two books were signed up!

Should I do five days trip to MIBF next year?

Let's see!
