Through the years, MIBF has been a great bonding time for my whole family and my BFF. We usually spent a whole day book hunting, watching shows, joining activities, eating, picture taking and a whole lot more. It is a well-marked event in our home calendar. My kids really look forward to this event so I make sure that they have an ample time to spend during the fair. Sometimes, a day is not enough for us and we come back on another day especially if there are events that we want to see.
For me, the annual MIBF is the start of my Christmas shopping. I love giving away books to kids as Christmas gifts and the annual MIBF is one great shopping place for books. You can find all the nicest finds in marked down prices, a lot of giveaways are in store for guests. Here’s sharing you some of our great times with MIBF for the last six years:

The school bus here is actually the stall design of Rex Bookstore. Rex Bookstore is our annual favorite because it has always been one of the best and well-designed stall.

Photo taken at exhibit lounge. I was so tired from book hunting and my BFF took my photo from her cell phone’s camera. I can’t find the CD of our complete photos with the family. If I remember right, this is the first time that the fair is held at SMX Convention Center.
