Books and bookish
View my bookshelf. I read fantasy, romance, thrillers, mysteries, and horror. Every two years or so, I return to my blog to sweep away beautiful cobwebs.
Female Komiks Creators in the Philippines
October 30, 2017
LOOK: These Young Komiks Creators Perfectly Illustrate What Women Are Going Through Today I made a wonderful discovery at the last Komiket, a Filipino Komiks art market participated in by over 400 komiks creators. I discovered that several young Filipino creators, all women, had put in the spotlight Herstory. Herstory is the story of every woman […]
This Library Pops Up in Different Parts of Manila so You Can Just Walk In and Get Books
October 30, 2017
As a book lover, I love this concept. I laud its mission to bring public libraries closer to people and I share its dream of making public libraries relevant again. Libraries shouldn’t be intimidating at all, don’t you think so? They should instead be community hangouts for people of all ages–welcoming, fun, and a little […]
10 Reasons to Volunteer
March 23, 2016
Originally posted on iVolunteer Philippine:
It’s a common question to ask those who volunteer why they do what they do. Between the demands of work, personal life and everyday responsibilities, why do people enthusiastically spend their time helping out without pay, and sometimes in less-than-stellar environs? Volunteering is surely an investment in time and energy,…

Ang Pandacan Maynila by Ricardo B. Mendoza
January 27, 2016
What defines a person? So many answers, but I think I was shaped in large part by the neighborhood where I grew up. Pandacan is a district of the city of Manila in the Philippines. Its history is rich in song, valor and honor. Its air is filled with the breath of hardworking men and women. It is […]
Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton
January 17, 2016
A mix of historical mystery and young adult fantasy, Endymion Spring was a pleasant read about the search for a book made from a dragon's hide. It wove the stories of Endymion Spring, 15th-century boy who worked as a typesetter for Gutenberg (the man who invented the printing-press) in Germany, and present-day Blake Winters, spending time with his mother and sister in Oxford.

It’s official, the day that I’ve been dreading for several years has arrived. Amazon, which owns both Goodreads and Shelfari, has decided that it no longer cares to maintain Shelfari. Officially, “Shelfari is merging with Goodreads.” But let’s call it what it is: a shutdown. I feel like I’m…

Voices in the Theater – Student Paranormal Research Group Book 1 by A.S. Santos
December 2, 2015
Samantha Davidson has a secret: she can hear other people’s thoughts. Not everyone’s and not all the time, but it’s enough to convince her she can’t really trust anyone. Now, transplanted to a strange country, estranged from her family and peers, she begins to hear the voices of those no longer living or earthbound. […]
Trumpets’ The Horse and His Boy, an epic play #epicride
November 11, 2015
A play plays with the imagination that a movie can never do, I suppose. At first for me it was just a stage. But as the play went on, it transformed into the world of Aslan, that great mysterious lion that guided four children from Earth as they emerged from a magical wardrobe into a world peopled by talking animals. It has been a long time since I read the books of Narnia. I almost forgot it. The play made me remember how magical it was.
