I am so proud of myself for finally managing to finish reading a book after who knows how long. I did a whole post about how this is a problem for a lot of former bookworms nowadays because our attention was stolen. I actually came across the book at a shop called Bookazine in Central. […]
Why It’s So Hard to Read Books Now
Last week, we had an episode on Banana Q: a Filipino-flavored podcast where I interviewed Eliza Victoria about what it’s like to be a Filipino author. Aside from talking about her writing process for Wounded Little Gods and After Lambana, she was also very honest about how she doesn’t really earn that much from her […]
Listening to Audiobooks on Hibooks App
I used to read books a lot, especially while growing up. But recently, I have found it a struggle to concentrate on books. I guess my brain was rewired thanks to social media or Netflix or the Internet as a whole? Who knows! I know I’m not the only one, because I’ve discussed this phenomenon […]

Books are a Uniquely Portable Magic
I cringed when something hit David at the back of his head in the New York subway. Just as I was about to find out if he was okay, I got distracted when the jam-packed train started emptying of its passengers. Just like David, in a split second, I jumped from the New York subway […]
Book Reviews: Recent Reads part 2
I don’t read as often as I used to, but I have managed to read these books recently. I thought they were all worthwhile reads, so I wanted to share, in case anyone out there wanted to get her hands on a book and didn’t know which one to crack open. These three books are […]
Jamie Lived at the End of A Walk to Remember, Right?
When I was in college, my friend Tope introduced me to Nicholas Sparks. No, not in person, I meant his book, A Walk to Remember. I remember reading the first chapter on a Saturday afternoon, taking a nap, then waking up and continuing the book only to never let go of it and finishing it […]
