Ang Bagong Libro Final Programming Schedule

At last it’s done. You can find Read Or Die’s schedule at the 28th Manila International Book Fair here:

http://read-or-die.org/bagonglibro/

We have events in the Activity Area from August 30 to September 2 (11AM - 12NN; 2PM - 3PM daily).

Roofdeck Productions will conduct storytelling sessions from 11AM - 12NN and 2 PM - 3PM featuring the latest books from Adarna House, OMF Publishing and Vibal Publishing on August 30 and August 31.

We’ll be co-hosting a Sudoku challenge with Psicom (which will run alongside their book launch) on August 30 from 6PM to 8PM. RoD volunteers will also be assisting at the Wikipilipinas booth daily.

RoD reactors will also be present at Pistang Panitik with the UP Institute Of Creative Writing. The festival runs from August 30 to September 2. You can view the schedule of Pistang Panitik at http://pistangpanitik.org.

The Philippine Order of Narnians will be conducting a special reading of selected texts by CS Lewis on September 2 from 11AM to 12NN at the Activity Area. Hogwarts Philippines follows this up with a book discussion of “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows” from 2PM to 3PM, also at the Activity Area. Both activities are held in cooperation with Read Or Die (we’ll be interspersing with short quiz shows!) and Powerbooks.

And of course: on Sunday, September 2, we will be at Function Room B from 10AM to 8PM for a series of panels and competitions for Ang Bagong Libro. You can view the detailed panel programming here with links to guest biographies or you can get a bird’s eye view of the flow of events in the front page (now with flash!).

New confirmed guests: Cozy Reads, Glady Gimena and Kooky Tuason (of Romancing Venus).

Stepping Out: A Literary Cosplay Competition will also take place on September 2. Contestants can start registering as soon as the Book Fair opens on September 2. We will have a registration table and pre-judging area at the Main Lobby of the World Trade Center. Registration and pre-judging end at 2PM. Final judging commences at 7PM at Function Room B. The top ten finalists will receive 10 gift packs courtesy of Powerbooks and Anvil Publishing. The grand prize winner will receive a brand new iPod Nano courtesy of Vibal Publishing. Complete set of rules can be found here.

I’ll post about Write Or Die in a separate entry but the competition will take place on September 2 as well, from 6PM to 7PM. Participants are UP Writers Club, UP Quill, UST Varsitarian, Malate Literary Folio (DLSU) and the Ateneo Heights. Judges are Dr. Isagani Cruz, Dr. Vim Nadera and (still mayhap) Ms. Karina Bolasco of Anvil.

Please drop by our booth :) The inimitable Leandro Polidario has designed a very interesting set-up, if I do say so myself. We’ll be accepting memberships and selling our shirts (please buy!). Otherwise, feel free to stop by and chat.

And most important of all: We are also in charge of the Book Donations so if you’re coming to the Book Fair, please bring some of your secondhand books with you (or you can donate brand new books too, if you’re feeling generous). The Book Donations area is in the Main Lobby so you won’t miss it! Please spread the word!
