Remember that charming little e-book called All's Fair in Blog and War that I
blogged about a while back? I'm writing about it again because it now has a print edition! The author, Chrissie Peria aka Kaoko of
Kingdom Cow and
Kitchen Cow just so happened to be one of my longest online buddies, so we ended up doing a meetup up at the Starbucks in Evia Lifestyle Center, Daang Hari, so I could get my hands on it. We came with our husbands, plus their dog and baby, and had a lovely time discussing the book and other adult stuff. We haven't seen each other since 2007, when we were still single girls who had all the time in the world to obsess about Japan and make bento. We definitely had a lot to catch up on!

The book + adorable bookmarks!
Anyway, back to the book! It's available in e-book form via Smashwords and the Amazon Kindle Store, but the print edition is also
available via shipping or meetups. Check Chrissie's
writing blog or her
Facebook author page for details.
Here's an excerpt from my
book review:
All's Fair in Blog and War is a novella about love and blogging. It's actually local chick lit with a sprinkling of international flavor. It gives you a lot of fun Philippine tidbits, but it also takes you to the old world-new world streets of Macau. It's a story about travel bloggers named Five Cuevas and Jesse Ruiz who don't like each other but were forced to go on a trip together. Now that makes it seem like it would be predictable, but the book is all about the journey, not the destination, and what a wonderful journey it was. It was pretty cute! I got really kilig with it.
I had Chrissie sign my copy, of course!
This has become one of my favorite local novels and I don't even like that many. Check it out when you need a new feel-good book to read.
