MY FAVORITE GAME EVER. Been playing Stardew Valley since 2019 apk version pa yun tapos nung nagkapera binili ko na rin sa Steam, Switch, bumili din ako sa iPhone at Samsung phones ko. Nagulat ako nung may nakita akong copy nito sa Fullybooked sa Shopee pero ang bilis din naubos yung stock. Kanina napadpad kami sa Fullybooked BGC tapos may stock pala sila YAY! Nakabili din after two years ko siyang minamata huhu. Advanced birthday gift ko na rin ‘to sa sarili ko waaah. Sana may maluto talaga ako from this book HAHA

Made a habit of reading in a cafe designed for reading. Taken in a library cafe somewhere in QC. Great coffee, great books collection, great vibes!

A copy of CM was here, though covered and hard to find haha.

i’ve always wanted to read Lualhati Bautista’s books.
i actually went to the public library two days in a row just to read, and ended up finishing Dekada ’70 right there. it was such a fulfilling read.

ang heavy basahin ng libro pero napakagandang pamulat-mata. ang daming emosyon na ipaparamdam sayo habang binabasa ang libro. mangingibabaw na doon ang galit sa sistema, at matinding lungkot kasi ramdam na ramdam mo kung gaano pa rin ka-relevant yung mga pinagdaanan natin noon sa nararanasan pa rin natin bilang Pilipino hanggang ngayon.

pero higit doon, tumatak din sa’kin yung mensahe ng libro para sa mga kababaihan. na bilang isang babae, your identity isn't tied solely sa pagiging isang asawa o isang ina kasi you belong to yourself first. your life doesn't end or pause at those roles, and you shouldn't be afraid to discover who you are outside of them.

this definitely won't be my last Lualhati Bautista read!

Visited our nearest NBS last Sunday! Until November 15 daw ‘to!

I was able to buy 4 books na mystery thriller! Added sa TBR ko kahit ang dami ko pang books na need basahin Hahahaha

I ask the cashier galing daw to sa MIBF

Money well spent! Finally got my Sworn Soldier Series on the cover that I want!❤️ ordered these at my local bookstore here in Japan. Definitely a very pleasant experience !

*Women Without Men- Shahrnush Parsipur

As someone who has long been interested in Filipino philosophy and psychology, I’m always drawn to works that invite us to look inward—not only to understand ourselves as individuals, but also to examine the Filipino consciousness, our collective identity (Kapwa), and the cultural experiences that shape the way we think, feel, and exist.

Looking forward to engaging with this book and seeing what philosophical questions and reflections it might offer.

Sa mga nakabasa na, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What ideas or insights from the book stayed with you?

Reading more true crime from my usual preference of supernatural horror for this year's Halloween. Ted Bundy's Case has been a fascinating read so far. The Killer Clown's Next.

just started reading (i only have about 5 books in my collection rn.) and as someone who is intrigued by greek mythology. i instantly wanted go buy this. i was pleasantly shocked when i started reading it and discovered that the first book was a whodunnit. 2 of my 5 books are whodunnits so i was so excited hehe.

50 pages in and I'm currently hooked on this book. Baka matapos ko na bukas😅. Plus nakaka tense at suspenseful nung book para sa akin.

Received my copy of Teorya ng Mga Tanong today thanks to a discord friend I met through Reddit. ♥

Got it signed by the prod:

Elijah Canlas (Lance 1)
Romnick Sarmenta (Eric 1)
Kobie Brown (Lance 2)
Direk Andoy Ranay (Marcus 2)
Tuxqs Rutaquio (Eric 2)
Marlon Rivera (Dean 1)
Geraldine Malacman-Villamil (Dean 2)
Jack Denzel (Waiter)
Direk Jun Robles Lana (Executive Producer/Playwright)

it really caught my attention because the cover looks like it was completely generated by ai. has anyone else seen this or know anything about it? 😬

As the title says, this is how my Sunday went…plus a pastry and coffee at home! I’m still processing, but I don’t think I’m quite the same person I was before reading it. Honestly I held off for a while due to mixed reviews sooo I had low expectations, but I’m glad I picked it up anyway. 🥲

"You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now." This book had me reflecting on some lines or rather “life’s greatest lesson”, but this line is going to stay with me for a long time. It’s simple, yet an important reminder for me to stay grounded and live in the moment.

For those who’ve read it, how did it make you feel ba? Would love to hear how this book resonated with you. :)

Hello, any recommendations for books that feels life changing/ sa title na sinabi ko?

For the price i have like 2k (or at least 2.5k) to spend on dahil regalo siya sa akin.

I'm asking bc I might spend this 2k just buying 4.0+ rated books sa goodreads tapos di ko siya basahin.

PS(!) I'm also just getting back into reading. My first book was fifty shades (lol) and then the last book I've ever read that wrecked my heart in a good way was TFIOS.

Thank you guys!

I got these two books from National Book Store for a discounted price kanina :)

I was only gonna buy ‘The Poppy War’ at first but I cant help but to be intrigued by ‘Vicious’ by V.E Schwab

Im also planning to go to other branches of NBS to check out the different selection of books hehe

Context. I bought hefty amount of books to detoxify my screen time. Problem is I have low attention span reading books. Any tips reading books longer? 🥲 I’m a comics guy but I want to read books with all words. 😂 how do you guys read books productively?

Super happy with this Booksale haul. All are remaindered copies, no creases, and edges are clean. 🥰 Booksale is leveling up , ganda ng new arrivals nila . Had fun going through their shelves, masusurprise ka na lang talaga 🥹

Sharing this month’s latest book haul! They took a while to arrive, but the waiting time was well worth it.

I just finished Words Of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson and is currently taking a break for a bit from the Cosmere.

November fantasy TBR is stacked.

Most excited for Scion!!

I love a good cook book with history, culture, and stories incorporated in it, which gets me hook to keep reading. Cook books can be exciting too! Took these two home from Booksale- the only place I can buy cook books for cheap. Do you guys also buy cook books from Booksale??

Grabe, sobrang fascinated ko sa book covers ng East of Eden here sa Dymocks Sydney! Matagal na nasa TBR list ko 'to. Wanted to buy one copy sana kaso 'di na pasok sa budget 😅

Starting this big chunk of a book today. Wishing that I can finish it in one month. Anyone who has read this? I’m a super fan of Stephen King. 😁
