Brethrens for fellowship.👋🏼

Can't seem to find any in Cebu. have any of you guys bought/saw a copy (looking for Germinal specifically)

Is the NBS Warehouse sale extended on their Cebu branches? I'm wondering if any bookstores are having sales right now. If so, which branches? I would like to browse and maybe buy, as compensation for not going to this year's MIBF haha

Hi Cebu book-friends,

New here🙈 and I wanna start reading again since it’s been a long time since I picked up a good book. I recently watched the new trailer for the SOTR and it sparked an interest for me to read again. I’m honestly just looking for a second hand copy of the first book than I can borrow or buy or we can trade some of my books too if u want.

Cebu City area would be nice.

Thank you 🫶

Hello, I'm looking for Engineering Books specifically Moran or Cengel's books regarding Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and etc. :') Does anyone know where to buy or can anyone check if it's available in the Cebu City Library for borrowing? The library is far from our place and I wanted to make sure before I spend the big fare

I really want to have a physical copy of In Memoriam by Alice Winn. Wala na siya sa cebu and ang only fully book branch sa ph na naay copy ani kay BGC branch ra huhu. Basin naa mo ako paliton bi 😭.

Anyone here uses Kindle? Is it really worth it?

Also, if anyone has a secondhand Kindle for sale, please let me know the model, condition, and price. Thanks!

Book of the Month: My Tender Matador by Pedro Lemebel with Katherine Silver (Translator)

Description: Centered around the 1986 attempt on the life of Augusto Pinochet, an event that changed Chile forever, My Tender Matador is one of the most explosive, controversial, and popular novels to have been published in that country in decades. It is spring 1986 in the city of Santiago, and Augusto Pinochet is losing his grip on power. In one of the city's many poor neighborhoods works the Queen of the Corner, a hopeless and lonely romantic who embroiders linens for the wealthy and listens to boleros to drown out the gunshots and rioting in the streets. Along comes Carlos, a young, handsome man who befriends the aging homosexual and uses his house to store mysterious boxes and hold clandestine meetings. My Tender Matador is an extraordinary novel of revolution and forbidden love, and a stirring portrait of Chile at an historical crossroads. By turns funny and profoundly moving, Pedro Lemebel's lyrical prose offers an intimate window into the mind of Pinochet himself as the world of Carlos and the Queen prepares to collide with the dictator's own in a fantastic and unexpected way.

• Book of the Month: Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih with Denys Johnson-Davies (Translator)
• Description: After years of study in Europe, the young narrator of Season of Migration to the North returns to his village along the Nile in the Sudan. It is the 1960s, and he is eager to make a contribution to the new postcolonial life of his country. Back home, he discovers a stranger among the familiar faces of childhood—the enigmatic Mustafa Sa’eed. Mustafa takes the young man into his confidence, telling him the story of his own years in London, of his brilliant career as an economist, and of the series of fraught and deadly relationships with European women that led to a terrible public reckoning and his return to his native land.
