Good news to Cebuano readers! Fully Booked, the go-to destination for Filipinos to find their next great read, is opening its fourth branch in Cebu City on October 25, 2024.
Located at the newly renovated SM J Mall in Mandaue City, this new store promises to be Cebu’s latest book haven, offering local bookworms a diverse selection of titles and an immersive literary experience.
The opening of a fourth branch in Cebu is a true testament to the region’s deep love for reading. Fully Booked answers the call of Cebuanos who are passionate about books and stories.
“I first started visiting the Fully Booked branch here when I was fourteen, and I remember having the most wonderful experience. Now that I am in my twenties, my passion for books never waned. I find some of my greatest reads at Fully Booked,” shared Ericka Marañan, a content creator on BookTok and YouTube based in Cebu.
Like Ericka, book enthusiast and podcaster Mariana Varela is a frequent visitor to Fully Booked. “It’s more than a store to us. Growing up, bookstores in my hometown didn’t always have the titles I was eager to read, so every time we visited Cebu, Fully Booked was our first stop. ”
“My cousins and I would get so excited to finally get our hands on books that had been on our wish lists for ages. Fully Booked helped broaden our reading preferences and it’s always fun to try new genres and authors,” Varela, who hosts a podcast called Fiction Friends, added.
On the other hand, social media influencer Mipsen Calves from Carcar City, who vlogs about beauty, fashion, and culture, points out that not only has Fully Booked helped enrich the Cebuano reading experience, but it has also “…helped create a cultural hub, where we can browse, discover, and discuss books with fellow enthusiasts, alongside supporting local authors and inspiring aspiring Cebuano writers in the process.”
With the opening of Fully Booked SM J Mall Mandaue City, the Brand’s 41st branch nationwide, the homegrown brand remains committed to its vision of being the best bookstore in terms of selection, ambiance, and customer experience.
Cebuano bookworms can expect a wide range of titles, well-stocked shelves, and a pleasurable discovery of great reads wherever their interest lies.
