I think no one else was as happy as I was when our book club announced our books of the month for ๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ ๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ช๐ฌ๐ข (National Language Month). First book is "Patron Saints of Nothing" by Randy Ribay-- I expect brave content as the story promises to explore themes of extra judicial killings, particularly under President Duterte's war on drugs. โฃ โฃ Second is "Tabi Po" by my husband @mervinmalonzoart-- the book that won him a National Book Award for Graphic Literature. It's a story of a young ๐ข๐ด๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ (umbrella term for various shape-shifting evil spirits in Filipino folklore). Moments after his birth inside a balete tree, we join the main character as he explores a world made of flesh, blood and hunger. โฃ โฃ Just for fun, I also pledge to raffle off a set of Tabi Po postcards to all @bguildph members that will post their reading updates of Tabi Po. No additional rules, I will just check tagged photos of @bguildph page by end of August. โฃ โฃ Featured bookmark is by @peregrina_ph , one of my favorite Filipino artists ๐๐ต๐ญ โฃ โฃ โฃ Have a lovely weekend, all! Rest and recharge ๐ โฃ โฃ โฃ #BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy #ReadIndiePHโฃ https://www.instagram.com/p/CDoJxXAgrLl/?igshid=14jyhj2dx2fwu
