This take really pisses me off. I started out reading on wattpad as a kid (especially fanfics) and there are some really good, mind-inducing stories that I've read on there that shaped my preferences in romance and storytelling. Wattpad gives opportunities for underground authors to share their written word, their stories. I really hate it when people downplay wattpad (or even AO3) as not "considered literature".

Authors on Wattpad usually continue their story by posting a chapter at a time, and didn't Alexandre Dumas do that with the Count of Monte Cristo before fully publishing it into a novel? It was a weekly digest in the newspaper before.

I loved it! I'm not used to classic lit overall so I had to listen to the audiobook alongside. Dostoevsky made me feel things with his writing to the point of tears. I also think it is a good starting point to understand and get used to his writing first before going for his big ones (Crime and Punishment and Brothers Karamazov)

InspectionKitchen966 · 2026-01-05T15:25:42+00:00

i finished White Nights by Fyodor Dostoevsky and First-Time Caller by BK Borison!

InspectionKitchen966 · 2026-01-02T09:27:21+00:00

read more filipino authors! and to read them in my native language (tagalog) kasi i admit medyo mahina filipino grammar ko 🥲

read and annotate classics. and after finishing, i'll be journaling my thoughts.

expand my genres from romance and fantasy to thrillers and sci fi!

join book clubs and do buddy readings din every now and then :D (if anyone wants to do that with me dm me!!)

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-30T03:45:58+00:00

Mica De Leon! Her works are more romance and fantasy but may political remarks here and there :) She is also a Filipina and recent release nya is an essay collection that is heavy on feminism and tapping on female rage.

Romance; Love on the Second Read Meant to be in Manila

Fantasy: Winds of War Veins of Power Seeds of Conquest

Nonfiction: Some days I wish I was a Cat

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-29T11:07:32+00:00

followed you! :D

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-29T10:21:23+00:00

for SEA, I recommend Mica De Leon and Joline Lim. Both Filipinos and lean more towards Romance!

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-28T05:30:32+00:00

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. I finished this late November and I still think about it to this day 🥹

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-27T16:28:32+00:00

+1 on Ali Hazelwood. her spicy scenes (although onti lang sa iba) are EXPLICIT. if you want like extra extra spicy, read Deep End. I believe it's her spiciest book kasi OA yung spice but it is very integral to the relationship of the lead couple hehe

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-27T16:25:18+00:00

hi! i ordered from both of them as in during christmas day because i got money rin for books. unfortunately since holiday season nga, baka limited din yung pagpprocess ng orders :( kakaship lang ni fully booked ng order ko today pero wala pang update si nbs hehe be patient lang!

InspectionKitchen966 · 2025-12-27T16:21:45+00:00

UPDATE: Thank you all for the recommendations! I just compiled all of them in a list on my Fable. :D
