What would life be without books? Since childhood, books have been my steadfast companions, guiding me through life’s twists and turns. Some might even call me “bookish,” and they’d be right. From the fairy tale books my Nanay bought me, to the countless titles I brought home from the school library, and even her collection of adult books that I couldn’t resist exploring once I had finished my own, reading has been a central part of my life. My first formal, paid job in college was in a library, which was a perfect fit for my love of books.
As life unfolded, my circumstances changed significantly in 2017, and they have remained so up to this point. Yet, looking at the brighter side, one of the blessings has been my ability to channel my love for reading into something more productive and meaningful.
As this blog has grown and evolved, I’ve been joined by fellow writers and passionate lovers of the written word, all drawn together by a shared vision. Together, we create a space filled with stories, insights, and books that celebrate the boundless power of reading to uplift hearts, inspire minds, and kindle hope.
