Uncanny Updates : Book signings and Growing insanities


What's that? Did someone say book signings? with an S?!
Count me in!

That's right. Two very talented authors are coming to Manila in the upcoming months!

*hyperventilates*

I haven't read any of their works, or any books in the Chick-lit genre for that matter, but I've been hearing very great stuff from some of my "acquaintances" recently. Besides, who would let such an opportunity go?! Definitely not me.

So who exactly are these authors?

JENNY HAN!
First is the wonderful and cheery Jenny Han. She is the author of The Summer I Turned Pretty trilogy (AKA The Belly Trilogy) , and co-author of the Burn for Burn series (which I'm kinda itching for to read). Also, her latest book, To All The Boys I've Loved Before was released to the public only recently.

She will come to the Philippines on June 21-22 .

STEPHANIE PERKINS!!

Miss Stephanie Perkins is the author of Anna and the French Kiss, Lola and the Boy Next Door and the upcoming Isla and the Happily Ever After. 

She will arrive at the Philippines on July 5-July 6.
