My 3(and a half) Reading Goals for the Year
To start off with a very honest answer I want to read 100 books. Why? Because why not? I believe that I can do it, it’s only eight and a bit books a month and I’ve already read six books by the time I’m writing this. I have a strong capability to read books really fast and so I thought I’d give myself a few additional challenges to make the task harder than it needs to be.

My favorite Pinoy middle grade books
I want to provide some information about respected first Filipino middle-grade books that are on my top list. "Gimo Jr. and the Aswang Clan" contain themes and supernatural elements that readers of Goosebumps, Harry Potter, and the Janus Silang series may be familiar with, but this middle-grade book is unique. Pasaporte does a fantastic job of remaining authentically Filipino while departing from the typical "strange and eerie barrio vibes."

An Afternoon Spent on Hunger Games written by Suzanne Collins
Just watched the first season of hunger games and I wanted to see how the story unfolded in the books. So grabbing my wallet and the helmet I rode to the dingy old-bookshop across the corner on my bicycle. This was the book I didn't have with me at home so I had to buy it but I got a bad news when I stopped infront of the bookshop. Because there on a white board it was written in bold letters closed. I didn't want to put it off till tomorrow so I made a u-turn and headed for the library. Thankfully I was able to borrow the book, racing back home, I got comfortable on the couch and started reading. And here's my opinion on 'The Hunger Games' written by Suzanne Collins.
