MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Fully Booked, the go-to destination for Filipinos finding their next great read, is back at the Manila International Book Fair 2024 from September 11 to 15.
Bookworms at heart will have a grand time perusing the shelves to grab books they’ve always wanted to read or discover titles and authors they’ve never encountered.
Here’s what Filipino bookworms can expect from Fully Booked at the MIBF this year:
1. One of the largest booth displays.
From September 11 to 15, Fully Booked will transform Hall 2 of the SMX Convention Center into a literary haven, offering an impressive array of diverse books. From new releases and buzz-worthy bestsellers to timeless classics and dazzling debuts, literary fiction, young adult, children’s titles, romance, cozy mysteries, and more, there’s something for every reader.
Bookworms are in for a treat with this treasure trove of literary delights in one of the largest exhibitor spaces at this year’s MIBF.
2. Score incredible deals on your favorite titles.
Readers will be treated to 20% OFF on all displayed titles at Fully Booked during MIBF 2024. Meanwhile, for those who can’t make it physically to the event, they can still score discounts through the Fully Booked Online platform (15% OFF d-coded items.)
3. Find the newest, hot off-the-press titles.
For bibliophiles who can’t resist new releases, Fully Booked is the top destination for finding fresh and exciting titles.
Some of the newly-released and straight-from-shipment titles to watch out for are Before the Coffee Gets Cold: a Toshikazu Kawaguchi Boxed Set, Life Impossible by Matt Haig, and We’ll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida for fiction, Embracing Hope by Victor Frankl and The Four-Way Path by Hector Garcia for non-fiction, and Everything We Never Had by Randy Ribay and The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs for children’s and YA titles.

Besides exploring great reads, MIBF offers a fantastic opportunity for bookworms to attend workshops, seminars, and meet the authors and illustrators behind their favorite books, engaging in enriching literary conversations.
