In honor of SM Supermalls’ 40th anniversary, SM Book Nook invites everyone to donate pre-loved books to spark the joy of reading in communities nationwide. Starting July 7, 2025, drop your books at any SM mall and help build more reading hubs across the Philippines. Together, we can inspire future generations and share the magic of stories — one book and one reader at a time.

Last night, I finished three local comics during my Read With Me session — Bad Apple, a sweet BL with fantasy and vampire vibes; I Ship Everyone Except For Me, a fun school romance; and Maha Magical Manananggal, a cute and quirky magical girl story rooted in Pinoy folklore. It was a night full of kilig, laughs, and magic! Thank you to everyone who joined me to read, ask questions, and share recos. Can’t wait for our next cozy bookish kwentuhan!

Somewhere between the hustle of work and the calm of a weekend coffee run, there’s a shoe that understands you.

After resigning from my job of 9 years, I started a new chapter — intense training, meeting genuine new friends, and adjusting to a new routine with my dogs. I sold my gadgets to stay afloat, but now I'm back with a Kindle Colorsoft to continue my book journey. I'm also starting as a TikTok affiliate, creating vlogs, and expanding my network through book events. Feeling grateful, hopeful, and excited to attend the Philippine International Comics Festival this July!
