Hey guys. I need your help. I'm having book slump..
Just wanna know if any of you can help me with my nightmare. hahaha anyway i think it was cause by my last read. Any genre will do but i love to read a book with strong lady protagonist? Like Evelyn Hugo?

Circe? I've read good reviews about it.

oh yeah. but i already read it, like 2yrs. ago. :-) haha any other??

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert. Currently reading it right now 'cause people said it's similar to Evelyn Hugo but different story line.

definitely gonna check it out.. thank you!!

The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

I suggest that you can start up on some graphic novels so it will stimulate you to read and get hook of it. Try "Heartstopper." It is a quick read, and can definitely get you back on your track.After that you can start to dive in on Aliceverse, such as "Solitaire" or "Radio Silence"

You can also try short story compilation or poetry books, in case you did not like graphic books.

Hi Ate, The Book of Longings has a strong female protagonist in a very unconventional way. I personally loved her, and felt she was very brave for her time. But the book may be a bit taboo for some bc she's supposedly Jesus' "wife." Haha but it's one of my favorite books, and her strong willed character was super inspiring! Definitely a feminist book and very teaching with history.

ooohhh. sounds interesting.
definitely gonna put on my TBR list.
Thank you so much.. ;-*

It's not well-known, but it's great if you're into contemporary novels.

Tall Story by Candy Gourlay is evident that the author was still new at that time. Would still recommend it for specific readers.

Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is charmingly simple and cozy. Recommended.

Hi, I am new here. I am planning to come back home to the Philippines this coming Manila International Book Fair this September 2024. I am planning to buy really good books written by Filipino authors and take them with me here in the USA. So, I would like to ask everyone to comment their best (just one per person) recommended book from the Philippines so that I could add it to mycart if so happen that I found them in MIBF event. Also... I'm an author too, I'll sign my book during the event. (Smiley emoji) Thanks
