Event: Book Launch of Precious Pages Young Adult Books Rebel Fiction Line

Hello Sweeties!

Aside from the launching of Moymoy Lulumboy Book 3 at the Manila International Book Fair 2016 at the SMXConvention Center last September 17,  I also had the opportunity to attend their next event, Rebel Fiction`s  Launch and Books Signing from also from Precious Pages.

For more than 25 years, Precious Pages Corporation has produced a wide array of reading
choices written by Filipinos for Filipinos. Precious Hearts Romances has been the constant
companion of ladies (and some men) from all walks of life for their dose of kilig. Children learn and have fun reading Lampara Books. More recently, Precious Pages turned up the heat with its Red Room books. Now, a new imprint is set to conquer the scene, this time, in the spectrum of Young Adult Fiction.

Introducing Rebel Fiction, stories that will surely appeal to young emotions. Ten (10) new titles   with genres that span romance, gothic, fantasy, adventure, paranormal,suspense-thriller, detective, sci-fi and more, every teen is bound to find a book close to his or her heart. We will surely fall in love with every book written for the young Filipino reader.

The event was made even more interesting with PETA Theater Center doing the love excerpts from 4 books! I have seen this done before, it was similar to a book reading but clearly the PETA actors bough the characters closer to the readers. It was a sensory and visual experience.

Check out all 10 new tittles from Rebel Fiction after the break

Leia’s Diary by Victoria Amor

Para isang ligaw na daga na laging puntirya ng masasamang pusa si Leia sa St. James Academy. Parang bitamina ng mga kaklase niya araw-araw ang pahirapan siya.

Lesbi In Love by Owwsic

Mary Jovelyn Salazar or MJ for short can’t feel any sexual attraction towards the opposite gender. Sagad hanggang buto ang pagkainis niya sa mga lalaki.

Can someone enlighten her, please?

Dahil sa bagong imbentong virtual reality game ni Chester ay naging successful ang misyon ni Steph. Hindi lang siya napansin ni Dalton, nakasama pa niya—sa loob mismo ng game na nilalaro nila. May problema nga lang. Hindi nila alam kung paano sila makakalabas doon.

He managed to learn 500 years of Philippine history before the third period. AWESOME!  Declan beat her to the presidency. His gym socks don’t match. But they don’t smell either. He scored 9/10 on the sewing test rubric. THE GUY CAN SEW! He does not apply deodorant OVER his shirt.

She was the complete opposite of him.  Pati ang paghinto niya sa pagpipinta ay pinapakialaman nito. Then she slowly wormed her way into his heart and pulled him out of the darkness he was in. Because of her, the things he sees were no longer gray. Instead, it was all filled with colors. Because of her, he was happy again.

Rebel Fiction Authors with Moymoy Lulumboy Author and Precious Pages Publisher Jun Matias

According to Kuya Jun Matias, Rebel Fiction is geared towards young adults ages 13 and above, it is smut free, meaning there are no love scenes or torrid scenes parents have to keep watch for whenever their teenagers pick up a new book from the bookstore, I remember a time when all the Moms were trying to hide the book series 50 Shades of Grey from their teenagers. We don`t have to worry about that with Rebel Fiction.

my awesome Precious Pages collection

My awesome Precious Pages collection

I finished two books from the Rebel Fiction Line. Less in Love by Owwsic and Love in a Game by Kayla Cliente.  I became interested in these books because of the great excepts portrayed by the  the PETA Actors great job guys!

Rebel Fiction from Precious Pages is a great alternative reading for young adults. The stories are fun, touching and sometimes heartbreaking but always leaves you with a satisfied feeling about reading. As a Mom of teenagers, I recommend these a great reading for your teens. I assure you the topics are sensitively tastefully written and you don't have to worry about smut (sexy scenes) or violence in these books.  I was impressed that the books were well edited because I read a lot of children/ young adult fiction and sometimes the publishers don`t bother correcting the manuscripts they print it straight from the Wattpad.  I think it is best books for children and young people are not just the ones that have great stories and characters but also ones with correct grammar and spelling as well.  Right?

Again my thanks to Lampara Books, Precious Pages, Rebel Fiction Line and of course PETA Theater Center for inviting me to the launch.
