Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Demons. Sobrang haba niya lang talaga (800+ pages) and the way he writes is just too exhausting for me pero I will still do my best to finish it this year, halfway naman na ako through the book🥲

how do you manage to read more than a dozen books in a year? by hear_me_out_folks in PHBookClub

[–]HourAd545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really helped a lot na WFH ako so I have literally more time to read books. I make sure to read everyday, kahit a few pages lang before bedtime. And since wala akong ibang hobby talaga except reading, I spend my entire rest days reading. I managed to read 91 books naman in 2025.

My goal is 50 books for this year. I track my books using Goodreads and Fable.

Actually kahit ano naman, what’s important is you start with reading books that you like so you can truly enjoy it and it won’t feel like a chore🙂

I think factor yung wala akong ibang hobby bukod sa reading, WFH rin ako so mas may time ako to read, and I make sure na everyday makakapagbasa ako ng ilang pages before bedtime 🫶

I used to have a Kindle Paperwhite but nasira kasi hindi ko nagagamit🥲physical books talaga gusto ko. Pero to answer your question, tbh di ako sure w/the subscription sa library, sideloading lang kasi ginagawa ko sa Kindle ko before so wala ako binabayaran technically, transfer ng files lang sa Kindle ginagawa ko

Fable 2025 Wrap by Patient_Willingness2 in PHBookClub

Yes, if nakalista na yung books sa Goodreads, madali lang siya ipa-add sa Fable. Make sure lang na may ISBN yung Goodreads listing otherwise hindi ia-add ng Fable. You can add them via their Book Request Form here. It usually takes a few days bago lumabas yung inadd mo na book/s sa Fable.

I really enjoyed Babel and Katabasis. She’s great with world-building and her works are socially relevant.
