Event Recap: Becca FItzpatrick's Signing in Manila! (03/29/14)

Let me start by saying that March 29 was one of the happiest days of our lives! We were able to meet Becca Fitzpatrick. In case you don't know her (which I highly doubt, but here's an introduction nonetheless),  she's the New York Times bestselling author of the soon-to-be-movie, Hush, Hush series. 

We were invited to join the blogger's forum with Becca. During the blogger's forum, we, along with the other book bloggers, got to ask questions, touch amazing her hair, and take wacky selfies with her. Haha! 

Here are some of the photos taken at her signing:

Becca really has great hair! LOL

Here are 10 facts about Becca that were answered during the forum:

1. There’s a bad boy in Black Ice who is kind of similar to Patch.
2. The only time Becca cried while writing the Hush, Hush saga is when she wrote Scott’s death.
3. Out of all the characters in the Hush, Hush series, Becca is closest to Vee because Vee was based on two of her childhood best friends. In addition, she never struggled when writing Vee.
4. Patch was based on a guy she knew from high school, and he wasn’t a fallen angel on the first draft of Hush, Hush. He was just a normal guy with a deep, dark secret.
5. Becca’s a fan of Twilight, and she doesn’t mind people comparing Nora to Bella from Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight.
6. Becca’s favorite book of hers is Sapphire Skies, but if she were to choose her favorite out of her publisher books, it would be Finale.
7. If Hush, Hush were to be adapted as a movie, Becca wouldn’t probably be that much involved in it because she says it’s not her talent. Though she would want to visit the set.
8. According to Becca, Crescendo was by far the most difficult to write because there was the pressure of making it as good as the first book.
9. Becca hasn’t read any other YA books about fallen angels.
10. Black Ice was originally a paranormal book, but her editor suggested that she make it a straight realistic contemporary book, and so Becca did.

So that's it for the recap! Hope you enjoyed the facts. Lastly, we would like to thank JB of National Bookstore for the chance to have met Becca more intimately. And as usual, thank you *awesome* NBS for bringing authors here! We will be forever grateful. :-)
