Kindle Buddies Year-End Meet: A Cozy Celebration to Remember

The Kindle Buddies Year-End Meet last December 13, 2025 was nothing short of heartwarming and beautiful gathering that brought us book lovers together to celebrate friendship, stories, and the joy of reading as the year came to a close. Filled with meaningful conversations and everyone dressed in red, white, and pink, the event truly captured the spirit of the season.


This special day was lovingly organized by me, together with Marix, our amazing Creative Head, and seeing everything come together so beautifully at Tayo Spaces made it even more memorable.

Our Agenda for the day

  • Socialization
  • Picture-Perfect Memories at the Photo Booth
  • Book of the Month Wrap-Up: The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score
  • Book Exchange
  • Exclusive Kindle Buddies PH Merchandise

Catching Up & Cozy Conversations ( Socialization )

The day began with cheerful socialization. I loved how conversations flowed so naturally as we bonded over our favorite reads, shared recommendations, and explored the thoughtfully curated merchant booths filled with bookish treasures and accessories. Tayo Spaces provided the perfect cozy and welcoming atmosphere for all of us to connect.

Picture-Perfect Memories at the Photo Booth

Starting at 11:30 AM, the photo booth officially opened, and for two full hours, Kindle Buddies posed endlessly with fun props. There were so many candid laughs and happy moments captured. I sponsored this to give back to the book club community. By lunchtime, we all gathered to enjoy a delicious meal together.  The cozy atmosphere made it feel less like an event and more like a celebration among members.

Book of the Month: The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score

One of the highlights of the day for me was our Book of the Month discussion. We wrapped up The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score, and it was so fun hearing everyone’s thoughts and reactions. The discussion was lively, heartfelt, and perfectly matched the holiday mood.

Book Exchange

The book exchange was definitely a crowd favorite. Wrapped books were passed around with so much excitement and curiosity. I gifted my monita a Jane Austen collection—and in return, I received The Little Prince

We also got an exclusive first look at the Kindle Buddies PH merchandise available for pre-order. The tote bags and magnetic pop sockets, created in collaboration with Soteria PH, were met with so much excitement. It was amazing to see our community so proud to represent Kindle Buddies.
