I recently pitched a book that talked about “glimmers,” which are microdoses of joy, like this beautiful cup of hot chocolate. Bombs are dropping in diff places today, & who knows if or when a bomb will drop on us bec of mad world leaders, so please, take this glimmer & I hope you find your own.

Do I need 4 packs of Bali peanuts? Yes. Yes, I do.

Just finished CARELESS PEOPLE. Lots to think about considering that I’m still on Meta, though not as much. Also about to finish Jenny Odell’s SAVING TIME, which is quite mind blowing. Questions how we view time and whose time is important and why and who decided.

Is it a good book if you find yourself saying, “The f**k??” on every other page? Idk. It’s certainly revelatory. #currentlyreading

May you know the joy of having a big tub of homemade mango sago in the fridge in the middle of Philippine summer. #pinoyfood #pinoydesserts

Some of the books acquired in the last two weeks: some I bought, most I am grateful not to have had to. Thank you, PRH, Hachette, and Fully Booked! Looking forward to reading them, as I have committed to getting to most soon (har har). #TeamPRH

My copy of CARELESS PEOPLE has arrived! Thanks, Fully Booked! (But ok, I’ve alas been posting original content on Meta lately, which I hoped to avoid.)

No, I did not participate in the water activities for Songkran. But I was on a Grab Bike, in my new floral shirt & helmet-less (as one does in Bangkok), when a thundercloud let loose. My driver paused for a split second & I just laughed, so we went through the pouring rain. And yes, I had a book.😆

Today’s commute: flight from Phuket back to Bangkok for another meeting.

Fancy juices, fancy som tam, and I forgot to take pics of our dinner.

I forgot it was a holiday at home today. Ironically, I’m in a holiday resort, but for work. A lot of work. God willing I can use this lovely balcony at some point.

And the next few days will be a process of distributing all of these across our different booksellers. #replife #ARCs #TeamPRH

Also dropped by Fully Booked’s Bookworm Meet-Up this afternoon. Arrived in time for the book buffet, where participants got to choose 1 ARC and 1 finished book. Missed the games, but I heard they were fun! And I love these boards where people write down what they’re currently reading. #booksky

Briefly dropped by the WATER MOON book signing at SM Aura, but these are the only photos I apparently took of the event: with the admins of The Pinoy Shelf and Talk Bookish to Me PH, who are doing a tour on CAT’S PEOPLE, and with Anthony Hsieh, author of Head on the Ceiling. #Pinoybooksky

Not our titles, but omg, wheeeeee! Mainly for Rose in Chains, which I have been dying to read. Have not read an Abby Jimenez yet, I think, so I’m glad I can start with this one. Thank you, Hachette!😄

Newly arrived ARCs and finished books.
1 - from Filipino authors/illustrator
2 - an ARC I’m interested in
3 - books that I plan to read
4 - samples to compare the two lines
