Lots of things happened during the recent #romanceclass event #FeelsFest last October 22, at Glorietta 5 Atrium in partnership with Ayala Malls.
Reunited with them... ❤️
#FeelsFest is my second Feels Day. Swooned again by the live readings, still in awe with the performances of Rachel Coates, Gab Pangilinan, Herv Alvarez and Gio Gahol.
Scenes read during live readings were from the following books:
The Hometown Hazard by Dawn Lanuza
Sweeter by the Second by C.P. Santi
Tempting Victoria by Mina V. Esguerra
What You Wanted by Mina V. Esguerra
Save the Cake by Stella Torres
Keep the Faith by Ana Tejano
When Sparks Fly by Ines Bautista-Yao
'Holy kamote! He has abs now.' is a personal fave read by Gab Pangilinan with Gio Gahol from the book, Sweeter by the second of Ms. C. P. Santi, one of the stories in Maybe This Time short story anthology. This part of the live readings was hilarious and kakilig.
New Releases!!!
Me, given a chance to say something my book, fighting!

20 books were released and launched during #FeelsFest. How about that! Haha. One of my books, Once Summer Days, was fortunate to be one of those new books. Yay! 💕
Meet and greet, yey! Signing books made me blushed.

A cup of coffee before the day ended. Cheers! ☕️ Hehe.
Drunken with all the feels, I look forward to the next event. February is the set date for another Feels Day. Who's coming?
Ghosts, skeletons, and cobwebs might be
decorating the windows of shops these days, but why give in to fear when you
can celebrate love in October? And why drown your sorrows and stress in beer at
Oktoberfest when you can go on a rollercoaster of emotions at #FeelsFest? At
least that’s what the folks from the #romanceclass community of authors and
readers figure!
Mark your calendars: The #romanceclass
#FeelsFest will be on October 22, 2016,
at Glorietta 5 in Makati. Authors will be on hand to meet readers and sign
books. They’ll be selling indie romance books—many of which you won’t find in
your typical bookstore. There will also be games, giveaways, the launching of over
15 new titles published by indie authors just this month, a book donation drive
for Ayala Malls’ Little Free Library, and the much-anticipated live readings!
In fact, #romanceclass live readings are
show-stealers, thanks to the feels delivered by actors invited to read excerpts
from romance novels. Previous live readings have been punctuated with shrieks
and sighs. #FeelsFest will mark the fifth official live reading event, the last
one held just last month at the Manila International Book Fair. #FeelsFest will
feature new live readings from #romanceclass books. (Visit http://romancepodcast.com/ to get the
audio versions.)
The #FeelsFest live readings will feature
performances by Gio Gahol, Rachel Coates, Hervin Alvarez, and Gabriela
Pangilinan. Expect to hear scenes from books by Mina V. Esguerra, Ines
Bautista-Yao, and more.
“The #romanceclass community is all about
encouraging each other to read, write, and publish books we love,” says author Mina
V. Esguerra, whose books include Tempting
Victoria, What You Wanted, and Iris
After the Incident, all of which and more will be available for sale at the
event. “#FeelsFest is our chance to give back to the community of readers and
friends who’ve supported us. We get to have a little fun, and maybe meet some
new people who love a good love story as much as we do.”
So if you like to hug your hugot close and are addicted to happy
endings, drop by Glorietta 5 on October 22. Selling will begin when the mall
opens, and the official program is scheduled for 2PM to 6PM.
