Andrew Matthews in Manila!

If you have a book collection like me, I'm sure you're constantly drumming your fingers waiting for the chance to get your books signed by an author!  International authors in Manila are rare and far between so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that Andrew Matthews is coming to the 30th Manila International Book Fair in SMX Mall of Asia this week!  Yes, Andrew Matthews!  So if you have his books, this is your chance!

If you haven't heard of Andrew Matthews, he's a bestselling author, cartoonist and speaker. His books, such as Being Happy! and Follow your Heart, have been translated into 35 languages.

This is my copy of Being Happy! which i bought almost 10 years ago way back in college! First published in 1997, Being Happy! is a classic! As i was leafing through it again I realized how the lessons in it apply till now! Can't wait to get it signed!
