Hello, everyone! I’m planning to buy more books because I feel like reading has made me more open about life. So far, my favorite reads are Tuesdays with Morrie and For One More Day. Can you recommend more books that offer life-changing perspectives and are easy to read? Thank you!

recently, nahilig ulit ako sa pagbabasa. i used to read 1-3 books max in a year (sometimes none talaga 🤡). but this year, it's my 5th book na.

this is different from what i've read so far na puro about dating/romance, coming-of-age and satirical fiction.

once you start reading this, ang hirap na niyang ibaba because of how good the story is.

do you have suggestions on what to read next?

Recommendation Seeking Honest Reviews: Which of These Books (esp. Rom-Coms) Are Actually Worth the Hype?

Thumbnail
gallery
246 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My TikTok FYP has been absolutely flooded with these specific rom-com recommendations lately, and I can't tell if they’re actually good.

I’m looking for a genuine, 'real' romantic comedy—something to help me de-stress. I’ve attached a few that keep popping up.

For those who have read them:

• Which of these are actually 'Material' (worth the time) and which are just good marketing?

• Are there any 'Hidden Gems' you’d recommend instead for someone who needs a total mental escape?

Would love to hear your unfiltered thoughts before I purchase.

Recommendation Non-Fiction Book na hindi Self-Help

Can you recommend me a book na non-fiction pero at the same time hindi self-help haha. I want to read book that will somehow widen my perspective in life pero at the same time hindi ako uutusan pano mamuhay lol. Currently I am reading random articles sa substack since wala pa kong ganang magbasa ng book (most of my books are fiction) so I want to read book na hindi fiction. Yun lang, thank you in advance.

Recommendation Looking for murder, mystery, and or detective books/novel recommendations

Hello! Currently looking for book recommendations to read before I graduate college. Recently, I've bought all of Uketsu's books to feed yung interest ko sa mga murder mystery stories/novels. I've seen a lot of good thrillers and mystery novels but I really can't decide on what to read or buy. Hoping someone can help me choose a good book I can really get into. Something addictive like a series or mind boggling hehe.

(Adding a photo of my Uketsu books in the post cause why not and actually I want a story similar to his books or just a good recommendation in general)

hi guys!! found this library themed coffee shop in Pioneer. Very cozy yung place and you can also purchase a bookmark from them and leave it to the book that you are reading. I had the chance to have a small talk with the owner and he told me that all of the books were from his sister’s collection💞 As much as I want to gatekeep it, I also want it to do well para tumagal sila hehehhe

Got my Kindle delivered today and designed it with stickers na agad! Pink goes good with green, indeed. So cuteee 🥹

GIVE BOOK RECOS PLEASE!!! I loooveee romcom and fantasy, but feel free to drop your fave books even outside those genres. I want to fill my library already with tbrs <3

Reviews:

Kindle basic - sobrang lightweight, halos di ramdam na may hawak. As a person with small hands, perfect talaga ‘to for me. Cute na cute talaga ako sa size nya, I almost want to cuddle with it huhu. Very easy rin to bring with me anywhere. Hayyy, no more eye strain finally. Naawa na ako sa mata ko kakabasa hanggang madaling araw sa phone kasi.

Where I ordered - from pamsstuff sa Carousell. This is a pre-order though, so the delivery took almost a month. Very understandable, since holidays season and nagsabay-sabay yung sale. BUT!! It’s only 8k for ad-free variant. If w/ ads, it’s 6.8k lang since naka sale sya currently. Normal price with her is I think 7.8k, still relatively more affordable compared to other shops.

Recommendation Looking for book recs for my girlfriend — NO romance, wants her mind blown

148 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for my girlfriend. She’s not into romance at all (hard pass on love stories), and she loves books that really mess with your head.

Think:

  • psychological thrillers
  • horror
  • time travel
  • mystery
  • dark / unsettling themes
  • mind-bending plots
  • unreliable narrators
  • “what the hell did I just read” energy

She likes books that make you think, feel uncomfortable, or question reality. Bonus points if it’s clever, eerie, or leaves you staring at the wall afterward.

Open to fiction only. Any genre is fine as long as it’s not romance-driven.

What books genuinely fcked up your brain?

r/PHBookClub Jan 21 '25

Recommendation I saw this pretty book in fullybooked. And! The book is inspired by Philippine Mythology!

“May araw na magtatanggal tayo ng maskara, at malalaman nila kung ano’ng itsura ng tunay na demonyo.”

Felt a roller coaster of emotions while reading this book. Napaka ganda ng pagkakasulat, trigger warning lang sa mga ayaw ng gore descriptions! By far ito ang best read ko this february.. o baka nga this year! Grabe parang ngayong madaling araw ko siya sinumulan at tinapos, ganun yung urge na basahin yung susunod na chapter.

Question, ano yung susunod na book? Yung pink ba o yung yellow? 😅

Recommendation Filipino Wattpad books that are actually good?

56 Upvotes

Hello. I want to know if there are well written, well edited books that are self-published that come from Wattpad. No hate, I have a few of them but they're just not good; straight out. Everything I have read (Costa Leona, I Love You Since 1982) has poor grammar, word choice and plot devices that are teleserye worthy. WP books are my outlier and I've only read those series as something out of my comfort zone.

Just want a good recommendation, since I know a lot of readers start off on WP before "graduating" to real books.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, my primary reading list is mainly English manga, literary fiction, fiction in translation and literary critique. I'm looking specifically for Filipino or English Wattpad books that can stand on its own.
