Fate's been playing tricks on Cara Nicolas lately. She agrees to go on a blind date with her best friend’s fiancĂ©’s cousin, only to discover that the guy is her first love from high school, Lucas Lobregat. Now that would have been a charming story, except that the date turns out to be one of the worst ever. And they can’t even pretend it never happened, because they’re both suddenly part of the wedding preparations.

The Book Hoarder, the Coffee Addict and the Fangirl

Who are the Bibliophiles?



Truth is, we are all book hoarders, fan girls and coffee addicts (okay so maybe, not all, but who cares). And we created this blog to record our journey to publishing our stories and bringing it out to the world (like babies!). We're aspiring writers from the Philippines and we want to make our careers big (though, you know, we know it won't be easy). 

We are a group of three authors, the first among us being Carmela Barrios, the ‘Queen’, yours truly, Marigold Uy, the ‘Princess’ and Hannah Medrano, the ‘Heiress’. I don’t know where those came from. Ask them, I’m innocent.
Carmela has currently published one English book entitled ‘And So She Fell’, available in both eBook and paperback. You can buy the eBook version here, ogle her Facebook page here and her blog here. And oh, the paperback edition is only available in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Hannah is currently finishing her upcoming debut novel but you can check her works here.
As for me, I’ve published a Filipino book entitled ‘SCRIPTED ~Search for the Happy Ending~’ and is available also in eBook and Paperback. The distribution is also limited to the Philippines only. Soon, I will publish my English novel, a science fiction book entitled ‘Project: EXODUS’. You can check the details out here.
We met in an online writing community called Wattpad and became friends ever since. We may live far from each other, but we treat each other like sisters, often helping each other out not just in writing but in each other’s lives as well. We are a crazy bunch, to be honest, and I could fairly say I’m the sanest. Okay, so maybe not. That aside, we do have our share of crazy and we pour it out in our Facebook group chat.
We all started with writing our story in notebooks before until of course the evolution of technology prompted us to sit on our asses and type on computers and laptops. That and the fact that writing on paper is a tedious activity.
To sum this introduction up, we are a group of writers who are determined to rule the world and convert all of you into ducks.
