Fully Booked, the go-to destination for Filipinos finding their next great read, is back at the Manila International Book Fair (MIBF) 2024 from September 11 to 15, 2024.
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
Fully Booked will transform Hall 2 of the SMX Convention Center into a literary haven with an impressive array of diverse books. There’s something for every reader, 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.
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 receive 20% OFF on all displayed titles at Fully Booked during MIBF 2024. Those who can’t make it physically to the event 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.

4. Get a chance to win Gcash credits or an IKEA bookshelf
Bookworms can try their luck at the Fully Booked raffle, where prizes like GCash, IKEA bookshelves, and IKEA gift certificates are up for grabs. To enter, customers must purchase a minimum of P3,000 at the Fully Booked booth at MIBF. They can also get a free Fully Booked discount card for a P3,000 minimum purchase. Customers must hold on to their receipts to enjoy these benefits.
5. Spin the wheel and score freebies
The fun doesn’t stop there. Customers can present their receipts or proof of purchase to spin the wheel and win exciting freebies like pins, pop sockets, tote bags, bookmarks, stickers, postcards, and pouches. The more daring can take a chance on the surprise boxes.
Besides exploring great reads, MIBF offers bookworms a fantastic opportunity to attend workshops, seminars, and meet-and-greets with the authors and illustrators behind their favorite books. Events include Patricia Evangelista’s book signing event on September 14. Copies of Some People Need Killing will be available at the Fully Booked booth. For the complete program, check out the MIBF schedule here.
