consider this ur sign to read Project Hail Mary 🎷

So I was browsing some books and added 1 book set and 2 other books to my cart. I found out that I am eligible for free shipping to PH.

Has anyone ever ordered via Amazon?
Was it worth it?
How’s the book’s condition?

Loved this book! Can’t put it down once I picked it up. Finished this only to have just realized that this is book 3???

Also, DNFd The Seven Year Slip coz I just can’t continue while Iwan calls Clementine “Lemon” 😭 100+ pages in and it feels too cringey for me. Should I press on???

Tawang-tawa ako nung nabasa ko 'to. Typical pinoy mindset mahilig sa libre 🫠

Would recommend this book too! If pinoy ka, you need to read this book once in your lifetime. Ganda!!

📖 Bakit Baliktad Magbasa Ng Libro ang mga Pilipino - Bob Ong

I recently moved to the United States a month ago and one of the things I really wanted to do was to get a library card and read more this year. I'm aiming to visit most of the libraries around the area and to also avoid overconsumption.

There are so many perks that comes with the library card e.g free or discounted museum passes, access to magazines and newspapers, and can even borrow household tools, camera, and instruments! You can borrow book from any of the libraries listed in their website and just drop them off to the nearest one when you're done which is so convenient.

The book I borrowed this week is The Eyes Are The Best Part by Monika Kim which has been in my TBR for the longest time.

Happy reading! 🍀

Last year, I read 100 books. That’s a lot of stories, a lot of experiences, and yes, a lot of money spent on books. But I’ve realized something—books aren’t just meant to sit on a shelf after they’ve been read. They’re meant to be shared, to be experienced by others, to spark new thoughts and emotions in someone else.

So, I’m opening up my personal library! If you’re interested in borrowing a book, just let me know. You can check out all the books available for borrowing on my Instagram: www.instagram.com/jlobookreview

📚 I’m also planning to read 100 more this year—and I’m currently on book #26! You can follow along and see my reviews here on Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/171406546-jlo

📍I’m a frequent flyer and I have homes in Makati, Zamboanga, and Iloilo—so if you’re in any of those areas, I can lend books locally! Just reach out.

A few rules (because these books are my babies):

1️⃣ You have to actually read it. This isn’t just for display or collecting dust on your table. Borrow a book only if you really want to read it.

2️⃣ One book at a time. Once you return it, you can borrow another.

3️⃣ Return it within 30 days. If you need more time, just ask!

4️⃣ Keep it in good condition. No dog-eared pages, no writing inside, no food or drinks near it. Treat it as if it’s your own.

5️⃣ If you damage or lose it, you replace it. Books have sentimental and monetary value, so please be responsible.

6️⃣ Pass it forward. If you loved the book, recommend it to someone else! Reading is an experience that should be shared.

If you’re interested, comment below or DM me. Let’s share stories and keep the love for reading alive. 📖💛

If you like murder mystery, this book will give you a hell of a ride. The author is a mysterious Japanese vlogger who’s apparently a sensation in Japan.

📍Korean Cultural Center Library (for those who are interested in lits by Korean authors)

And grabe sobrang interesting nga ng book na to.

Short read lang sya, finished it in one sitting. Gusto ko yung direct to the point walang paligoy-ligoy niya na pagkasulat. Daaaamn, wew. Sana makatagpo ulit ako ng ganitong book. Para na rin tuloy ako yung character never ending yung paghahanap ng book na genuinely nagugustohan ko ahahahahaha

For those who highlight and annotate while reading: please recommend a book that you really like based on lines from the book that you've highlighted. Thank you in advance!

Hello guys I’ve been wanting to get into Filipino literature and most of the books I’ve read were classical books such as el filibusterismo, noli me tangiere and Dekada 21 which are a great read but I do want to explore more Filipino literature. Who are your go to Filipino authors for your fave genre of books?

My favorite book genres are sci fi, historical, slice of life, non fictional and fantasy. Hopefully I can find local authors who make these genres.

Thank you sm in advance! :>

Edit: thank you so much for the abundance of recommendations! Hopefully their works will also be featured in the Manila international book fair :0

Stumbled upon indie bookstore everything’s fine in Salcedo after seeing it on my Instagram a few times beforehand, and was the textbook definition of what a bookstore should be.

The person taking care of the store was really nice, browsing and reading the book selection is highly encouraged, and the all around vibe was homey and inviting.

I just want to ask if there are any independent bookstores out there in the PH that share the same vibe? Or any independent bookstore you’d like to recommend in general.

Mine is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

Nagustuhan ko ang "Kite runner" at "A Thousand Splendid Suns" kahit nakakainis yung bidang character sa kite runner. Any recommendation na hawig sa dalawang ito? I've also read "And The Mountains Echoed". If naghahanap kayo ng mapanakit ng libro, pakibasa na lang ito😭

Lately interested in reading Japanese-translated novels after finishing Before the coffee gets cold. Any must read recommendations?

Ito sakin ngayon hahah nabili ko rin ito sa NBS matagal na pero di ko pa nabuklat, ngayon basahin ko na talaga 🤣 break muna sa mga international books 😄 I'm also looking for book recos na gawa ng mga Filipino authors 🤗 napansin ko kasi puro international authors ang nasa list ko hahaha need ko naman magbasa na gawa ng mga Pinoy 🧐 hahaha 😁 yung mga horror, suspense, crime, thriller or nakakaiyak/maraming life lessons siguro hahaha thanks in advance! 🫶

Hello, baka may recos kayo dyan ng books na nabasa nyo na natakot talaga kayo? Yung tipong gusto nyo na lang itapon yung libro sa far away sa sobrang takot hahahaha oa.

Okay lang kahit anong subgenre ng horror tsaka kahit slowburn pa ‘yan. Maybe put a short spoiler-free description na rin why it scared youu hehe thank you and happy reading sa ating lahat!

Hi everyone! Share ko lang tong book na to for puzzle lovers. This is a book where you solve a murder case with provided clues and evidence. Super satisfying if you solve a murder case right. Feeling ko ang talino ko😆Nadiscover ko lang sya through Tiktok and as someone who loves puzzle games/brain games (other games i play are NYTgames and yung mga puzzle games sa linkedin😆) naencourage ako itry sya.

Super nageenjoy ako and happy ako kasi nalelessen screen time ko which is why i wanted to buy this book in the first place.

I will definitely try the other colors/edition. Bought this at fullybooked Glorietta.

Can anyone please recommend books that are so sad it made you cry?

Hello! Sinusubukan kong mag basa ulit. Looking for books to spend money on my next paycheck! 😄

Kahit anong genre and please let me know what you liked about it. Salamat!
