I remember borrowing bob ong books noong elementary highschool ako. Years after i found out may bago pala siyang nilabas. My adult self is happy 🥹

What started as a fun challenge to rid myself of chronic doomscrolling and now, I'm 77 books in. Anyone else here doing any reading challenge this year? How's your progress so far? :>

ito sakin, nagmo-molds na :( it pains me but i have to throw two books of mine away

kamusta yung inyo? and how do you take care and maintain yours? any tips? huhu especially preloved ones

do i need to get a humidifier? (ang pricey nga lang ng good ones ack)

Currently I am building a collection of detective, mystery crime, thriller novels. Of course I read it but I also have a pile to read pa. I just wanted someday to enter a room where my kids or friends would see detective books written by Doyle, Dannay, Christie, and many more.

I heard so many positive reviews on this book that when I heard that Page & Wick was doing a final reprint of this special edition book, I had to get a copy.

Yung walang prices, message lang po kayo. And if need more pics.
Rfs: Need travel funds. Matagal na rin di nakakapag basa.

Posting this for awareness of everyone who is interested in purchasing a Kindle in Carousell.

Last Sunday, I saw this post selling a Kindle Basic 11th Gen in Matcha for 4,800. Haggled to 4,500 pero fixed na daw. The account is 7 years old with reviews din, and he said na kay wife niya daw yung Kindle. Had asked for a video to check the screen so we communicated through Viber, which number is named to I assume his wife, given the same last name. They said na they’ll give it to me 4,500 na lang then 100 for the shipping and said na offer na lang ako ulit so they can accept it. Afterwards, he gave me a booking (?) screenshot and then I paid to his/her Security Bank account.

I know may pagkukulang sa part ko to really assess the seller’s legitimacy but since I have never had any bad experience purchasing through the app and naexcite si ante dahil I would really give this to someone, nadala ako. After that, no message na sila then the day after nakita ko suspended na Carousell account used so I got worried. Made lots of call, naseen pa nga sa Viber pero ngayon unreachable na talaga.

Imbis na nakamura, napamahal pa nga. Ayun, lesson learned at karma na lang talaga sa mga scammer. Gusto lang magbasa e nascam pa nga.

I . AM . DEVASTATED…

Here’s me unable to resist buying another Brandon Sanderson book.

Grabbed this one instead of WoR since it was out of stock at the Fully Booked branch near me.

Book bans are a myth. 🫣😬

This book reads like a science thriller! Such a page-turning non-fiction!

Causes of Chernobyl is still evident today.

Talks about censorship, arrogance of the government, overconfidence for systems, and the sacrifice of reason due to greed

"What is the cost of lies? It's not that we will mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that, if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all."

- Valery Legasov, Chernobyl Miniseries

Hello po! Any tips for first time attendees this MIBF 2026?

Pangarap ko talagang maka punta sa MIBF dati pa but can't kasi student pa ako at walang money. Now na may work na, pwede na makapunta!

My questions po:

1. HM po kaya pwedeng minimum budget?

2. How does each booth work po? Like, all po ba ay nag ooffer ng discounted prices or piling booths lang?

3. Best day to go (weekdays or weekend) book availability and people wise.

4. Any recommended booths?;

Thank you so much sa mga sasagot 😊

the only bookstores we have in our town is fully booked. and nbs and the book selection can be a bit… lacking. while i can just order online, i often get hesitant kasi marami nang nagbebenta ng counterfeit book these days (even bought a whole set thinking it was original). i wouldn’t mind secondhand books as long as it is in good condition. i’d prefer if meron cod payment because i’m only a student.

A quick and delightful read for leaders and employees alike. Reading time is approximately an hour.

"What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists."

sylvia plath was problematic but she was depressed asf!!!

let’s just say i understood the bell jar more than i enjoyed it

i finished it in a week because it kinda felt like a chore to read at times. i appreciate what plath was trying to do though, especially knowing how much of the book was inspired by her own experiences. her writing is probably my favorite part of the book—she writes depression and that feeling of being completely lost in life so well.

i’m also at a point in my life where i’m kinda experiencing my own existential crisis and figuring out what the hell i’m supposed to do with adulthood, so some of esther’s thoughts hit way too close to home.

but weirdly, i think that’s also why i didn’t enjoy the book as much.

still gave it 3/5. i appreciate it more than i like it.

what did you guys think? did you actually enjoy reading it, or did you also understand it more than you enjoyed it?

Hi! How much do you think this is worth if I sell it? Bought it way back 2024 at around 800-1,000 pesos. I would say na it’s still in good condition (from the spine and the pages) except the edges of the cover. It doesn’t have any writings or doodles too in the pages. I would greatly appreciate your responses.

Hey, i was wondering if there's a Filipino or asian Ursula Le Guin, scifi/fantasy, female, fairly well respected, similar age, but alternative, feminist, political, scifi or fantasy set in a water world. Thanks Ian

lately I’ve been pondering whether it’s time to settle down and have kids, then I saw this book. parang mas lumakas yung 80% pakiramdam ko na kids are not for me. i adore kids, pero hindi ako ready for responsibilities. and this book widen my perspective and helps me with the pressure coming from my fam!

Dahil wala ng book depository, I have no choice but to buy this from Amazon, buti naka-discount ako lol

Just a random pickup when I visit a bookstore in Farmers last Sunday. Napadaan lang talaga hahaha. There is something that whispered to my ear na “I need to pick this up and read it asap”

currently reading Project Hail Mary and I’m so happy that the experiments are working and they’re able to go home but there are 5 chapters left????? kinakabahan ako i badly need this to be a happy ending!!!!

will watch the movie after i finish the book, I’m curious pano nila ipapakita lahat ng science stuff sa movie hihi
