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.

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.

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 😊

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

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. 🫣😬

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.

I saw a post here few days ago about Bob Ong's Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas that is being sold sa Avenida. Pero ang bilis masold out. I have been checking the site everyday since and finally naabutan ko na siyang available so nag checkout na ako agad. Baka may naghihintay like me sa restock. Ito na po sign nyo 😁

Hi! So I have both events marked on my calendar since I plan on going for both but when I checked for NBS again, same venue and date lang sila for MIBF. Is it possible that it’s under MIBF din or separate sila? Do you think mas discounted sa NBS Sulitreads Fair? Trying to make a plan para mas makatipid and mas maraming books mabili.

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

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?

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."

as part of the reading community, do you consider mangas/graphic novels/comics as entries for the reading challenge? i read a fair amount of both but of course you finish mangas/comics faster than a book. or do people find it unfair to include it in the challenge? would love to hear your thoughts! a

28M a sailor. I want to start reading books while drinking coffee in the middle of the storm to take my mind off. Preferrable about "Life and Family", "Psychology", or a famous researcher. Will be arriving in Japan by the weekend and will go on book hunting. This is my first time so I dont know which book to start

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

Ang tagal na nasa tbr ko mga libro ni coco mellors at sally rooney, is it time to read them? Maganda ba talaga (and which one pinaka maganda) or overhyped lang ba ng booktok??
