HCC FRENZY PRESENTS EXPERIENCE/RECAP 2015!

Hi everyone!

Today, I’m coming at you with a very requested post, which is my HCC Frenzy 2015 experience/recap!


The day started off with my mother and I heading to the subway station, en route to the Frenzy Presents event!

Once there, we sat in the little lobby area and filled out a very cute name tag!

After meeting all of the other bloggers, we took out spots around the meeting table and screen, to watch the presentation featuring the HCC Girls’ favourite books coming up in Fall/Winter of 2015!

Instead of talking about each and every book, I took pictures of all of the slides, which you can enter the title of and find out the summary on goodreads! If you have questions about a title or author, please comment down below and I will answer your comment shortly!

Those were all of the books they talked about! They all looked AMAZING and I plan on requesting several of the ARC versions for review!

As always, HCC was kind enough to give us a ton of books in our swag bags! The girls were nice enough to allow my mom to take one as well, as I took her with me! Sadly, I had a whole portion talking about the books I got, but I stupidly deleted it! RRRRRRR. Here is a list of the books I received:

  1. City Love
  2. Paperweight
  3. The Unquiet
  4. Ice and Fire
  5. A Step Toward Falling
  6. The Rest of Us Just Live Here

They also included a TON of cute swag, which I may or may not be giving away for hitting 100 followers… Stay tuned!

After the presentation, they allowed us to explore the meeting room and take pictures, so that’s what I did!

I took a picture with a giant cardboard cut out of The Rest of us Just Live Here, as that was probably the book I was most excited about!

They supplied us with a ton of yummy treats to eat, which was so nice of them!

They also had some interesting books on display, both YA, NA and Adult!

By the way, the view from their office is absolutely spectacular!

After the event was over, my Mother and I said our goodbyes, and I bought myself a Cotton Candy Frappuccino (typical.)!

Overall, the event was so much fun and I’m so happy I got to meet a lot of other awesome book lovers! Afterall, as Suman said “Book friends are the best friends.”


Thank you again to Harper Collins Canada and HCC Frenzy for inviting me to this amazing event! I’ll for sure be back again next year!

I hope that you guys enjoyed my Frenzy Presents 2015 Experience!

Good Night Book Owls!

Toronto International Book Fair 2014: Experience!

Hi everyone!

This will be my Inspire! Toronto International Book Fair post! I went on Saturday, November 15, 2014. I had an amazing time at this event and hope to go again next year!

When coming up for the first time, you will see a beautiful ceiling decoration filled with alphabetical letters!

Once you come up the escalator onto the TIBF floor, there is a huge entrance sign, that is full of bright colours and fun!

Once entering, you will see many different sections! This section was the TIBF national pavilion, filled with religious books and Canadian souvenirs.

As you can imagine, there is tons of holidays items, such as, Recipes and Christmas ornaments/trinkets.

There is even an Ontario farm booth, where there is a cute little duck and you can even take pictures with him!

They also had many wonderful indie speakers!

As well, there were many wonderful authors, including Kathy Rechies, who is the writer for the “Bones” book series. The Bones TV series was inspired by her books.

They also had amazing health and fitness speakers, such as Tosca Reno.

This was a poster found in the Penguin Books section. They were advertising this book, and even had samples of a few of the recipes that you could taste. My mother really enjoyed the small granola bars.

In the DK books section, they had a lego figure of Master Yoda, from Star Wars! It was huge!

They even had some adorable “Book-ish Swag” magnets and cards! This one was by far, my favorite!

IMG_1908.JPG

As you can imagine, they had some amazing publishing houses, such as Scholastic!

IMG_1966.JPG

They also had many other groups, such as Simon and Schuster! I was so happy to meet Michelle Blackwell at the Simon and Schuster booth! I correspond with her often and she is such a lovely person!

After each event took place, authors had a book signing! This was the long line up for Anne Rice!

After an amazing and long day at the TIBF, it was time to leave! I had such an amazing time!

Bye, Bye TIBF! See you next year!
