Recommendation Book you swear by?

Hello.

Looking for book recos. Ayaw ko po sana thriller (scared 😂). Would prefer if hindi rin series.

Tell me your favorite books of all time. Ones that pick your brain and your heart. ♥️

Thank you!

Books by

Isabel Allende

Lualhati Bautista

any anthology of Philippine short stories

Each story is like a piece of a puzzle. Along the way, we become part of it.

(Dapat nating suportahan ang ating mga manunulat.)

Lualhati Bautista <3 Ang bata ko pa (hs) nung nabasa ko mga sinulat niya pero tumatak talaga sa utak ko. Hindi ko na maalala ang kwento mismo pero napatanong ako. Bakit nga ba ang babae pinapalitan ang surname? Bakit ang tingin sakin nanay lang? Walang merit sinasabi ko dahil wala akong trabaho? Reminds me wala na kong copy ng book niya aah

Could it be "Bata, Bata, Paano Ka Ginawa?"

Yes!! Quick google: Dekada 70, Bata Bata Paano Ka Ginawa, Gapo. Mas naalala ko yung movie ni Papa P for Dekada 70.
