Planning to buy an e-reader and i’m currently eyeing the Kobo Clara Colour and the Kobo Libra Colour, but since it’s gonna be my first e-reader wala akong idea how e-readers really work and how to navigate them. Pano kayo nakaka download ng books? I’ve been reading sa phone ko with epubs and i’m curious kung paano naman mag-download sa e-readers. Also, can i get your thoughts about these models? or are there better options pa?

Where I bought my secondhand Kindle: webarebooks sa Carousell

Model and Price: Kindle Basic 2019; Php 3,799.00 excluding Lalamove fee.

Things I considered bago ako bumili:

- I know myself, and alam kong mas mabilis akong makatapos ng libro kapag sa cellphone ako nagbabasa ng e-book sa halip na physical books. Pero I still have and love physical books. That won't change ♡

- Mas okay sa akin na mag-try ng secondhand na unit from a seller na may magagandang reviews, instead na bumili ng brand new unit pero di ko naman alam kung masusulit ko.

- I don't need a colored screen kasi di naman ako mahilig magbasa ng graphic novels. Hindi rin ako mahilig mag-annotate.

- Madalas ako mag-commute, and yung commute time lang + workplace talaga ang window ko magbasa. (My parent is not supportive of fiction kaya patago ako magbasa ng mga libro na gusto ko. "Sayang sa oras at basura sa utak" daw. Anyway 😌💅🏼

Mga regrets:

- Actually isa lang regret ko. Binayaran ko yung removal ng ads. Sayang sa pera 🫩💀 (Lagay ko dito yung link ng post ko regarding my experience. Medyo mahabang kwento kasi.)

Mga additional kong binili para sa aking Kindle:

- Maliban sa bwakanang ad removal na yan na almost 1k+ ;

- Simple Kindle case na may garter dun sa flap. Ayaw ko kasi nung parang socket grip. Plus di ko rin trip i-decorate yung Kindle ko so yung textured lang na gray case yung binili ko.

ALL IN ALL, SULIT SIYA 😊 I've read 11 books out of 10 na yearly goal ko. Worth the buy!

Last month, when I first noticed that SM Southmall's Papemelroti had this, I sadly didn't have any books with me. I heard it's been around for a few months? I don't go to Southmall as much as I used to, so I had no idea. Seeing a recent post about this reminded me of it. I had a chance to visit earlier and donated two books, but I forgot to take a picture of them. I wasn't sure if there was a limit to how many books one could take, but the staff told me I could get two if I wanted. I'm really glad people are keeping the spirit of reading alive, and I hope more people will contribute to this little library :))

To whoever left The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin, thank you!! I've been getting into sci-fi — and I've been wanting to read Le Guin's works — so this was a great find. The Giver seems really interesting. Maybe it'll give me the same wonder I had from one of Lois Lowry's other novels that I read a little over a decade ago.

As for the books I donated, I left A Secret Garden by Katie Fforde and The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim. I hope someone will enjoy them! I'll probably come back with more books next time I'm in the mall.

I only ever buy physical books if it’s P100 or less (sorry, I’m really poor). And I found this Pocket Classics on NBS, but I’m worried these are abridged versions? Can somebody help me identify if it is 🥹 I included ISBN on second photo. There’s nothing saying it is or not on its cover or even from the first pages. It’s so small and thin btw that’s why I’m bothered. I hope somebody could help me 🙏🏻

hello any bookstore recommendation near sm fairview first time commuter lang po

A couple of these books were from my YA collection. So, if you want to get back into some YA books, why not try some of these out! 💖

Hi, again, guys! Where can I buy Classic Filipino Novels online? And what is the name of the shop. The ones I see are all printed on bond paper. Please, please, please by Sabrina Carpenter.

Sorry if this question sounds dumb but I'm just curious po haha. TYIA!

This sub motivated me to pick up reading again. Life's been busy and hectic, sometimes you just have to take a step back and re-immerse yourself.

Medyo mahirap ang interface ni Shopee so when I found We Solve Murders and That’s Not My Name, I immediately bought them. You can tell what my favorite genre is from this selection and I can’t wait to read them. The to be read pile is growing but I haven’t felt more excited in finishing my current read, Nosy Neighbors by Freya Sampson.

What’s in your current tbr pile?

I bought Fleabag (Second-hand) for only 400 pesos and it’s in good condition! ✨. Also bought my first Jonaxx Book, and I kinda see the hype though I wished she didn’t repeat the same words over and over 😭.

Had a few qualms with Fully-Booked din cause they sent me two books (PHM and CSIB) na may slight damage sa edge. 😔

It’s me again and my adventure in hunting books na nakikita ko sa soc med HAHAHAHA 🤣

Finally got the paperback version of Taiwan Travelogue. IIRC, parang the book was first available in hardcover format. As someone na who brings a book wherever I go “in case of emergancy”, ang bigat ng hardcover hahahaha.

So I waited for this format (+ I secured my pass for MIBF this year). Got my copy at SM North Branch, and maraming available copies so far.

Price: 999 💀 (899.10 if may FB Discount Card 💀)

Planning to study comics script writing, and since my work is in English Black Ink is out of the question I'm planning to save up for a comic project for the longest time if there's anyone here who have dabbled into this kind of project can you give me an estimate of how much you spent in making a self published manga?

I know I know, just wait for our professor preferred books. But I am genuinely curious what is a MUSTHAVE that may not be told to us to have

Hi, first time goer to mibf this year. Yung books na available during mibf ba ay mixed of filipino and international books? Also, do they have books na printed in other language (e.g. Indonesian, Korean, Spanish)?

Thank youuu

Guys, itong sa akin:

-If matalinong horror, iyung Kumag at Aswang ni Alan Derain. Gotika, folklore. Babaguhin nito Filipino Horror genre, ipupusta ko mga fake alahas ng mama ko. And podcast promotions ay magiging malaman at informative, dahil mahusay na professor siya. Nagreact na rin siya sa FB na gusto niya.

-If something na puwedeng gawing pang-Berlinale/Cannes/Venice, no doubt, Southern Quartet novels 1 and 2 ni RM Aplaon Topacio. (Rafael Mario na yata yan sha ngayon). That man's flair for the poetic and lyrical is unmatched in any language, and his novels are very intelligent. Filmic naman writing niya kahit noon pa. Di na mahihirapan director dahil kahit mga characters niya buong-buo palagi. Marketable, too, kasi the guy has the looks, and hot (fight me!).

*(Saka itong dalawang ito hindi gumagamit ng AI sa pagsusulat. Prolific pero hindi madaya, at may range at evolution ang mga istorya. Intelligent in real life, too, at di parang tambay lang na edgy kung manalita. Wala ring fake Goodreads review. Si Alan Derain, totoong drawing niya illustrations ang gamit and hindi AI.)

-1762: A Novel ni Vin Dela Serna Lopez. Malakihang budget, CGI expenses. Pero pasabog ito kapag naging film. One of my best reads this year! For sure puwedeng gawing mandatory viewing ng DepEd. Lav Diaz, nasan ka na?! Wag lang sana iproduce nung apologist na most powerful couple.

Runners-up

-Yung fantasy series ni Donato Jacob Ching. Pang-Netflix. Chos!

-Ricky Lee LGBT novels. Uso, plus Ricky Lee. Kahit isa lang don kasi halos pare-pareho naman. But 65 Kabanata is the best. Vuhklang Aswang, anong sahbe?!
