Hodkin visited DLSU

New York Times bestselling author Michelle Hodkin visited the Philippines to promote her novel which is a trilogy about Mara Dyer. As part of her visit to the Philippines, she had an author talk and book signing event held at the 4/f Verdure, Henry Sy Sr Hall, De La Salle University last January 20, 2015. The Mara Dyer series comes in three titles: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The Evolution of Mara Dyer and The Retribution of Mara Dyer. Most of the students present in the crowd liked her second novel wherein the romance between the characters blossomed. During her talk, she encouraged the crowd especially the aspiring authors to keep writing despite getting rejections. It was a mix of audience coming from various walks of life, mostly students from different universities. This event is in partnership with Fully Booked and DLSU Libraries.
