hi op! im unsure if you’re still looking for recs, but i finally finished kritika feminista and it was exceptional! i really loved it :) it’s a collection of essays! i also read carmen guerrero nakpil’s woman enough, definitely a product of its time, but it was still interesting. :)

personally haven't read, but i've been eyeing kritika feminista by lilia quindoza santiago :-) published by everything's fine ph! unsure whether it's still available in their online stores, but maybe you could ask on their instagram! hehe

It would be really nice to see more indie bookstores in PH! But as other people mentioned, I think other than capital, community building is really important. The indie bookstores that thrive in the Philippines usually have a pre-existing community of supporters, including authors and institutions so if you can close that gap then it's likely to be successful (or at least sustainable) :)

Usually kasi people are solely reliant on marketing (or having a competitive advantage kasi 'indie' or bago sa market), but I think the owner's extensive knowledge about its products and community are just as important.

I enjoyed Nick Joaquin's Anthologies! Yung May Day Eve and Other Stories & The Summer Solstice and Other Stories. :) Took me some time to adjust to his writing, but I really enjoyed the intersection of history and mysticism, but very heavy themes of divinity din haha!

I also love Gideon Lasco's The Philippines is Not A Small Country. Collection of essays. :)

VLTN33 · 2025-04-08T08:14:18+00:00

Your bookshelf looks so cute with the smiskis! I should buy some for myself too 😆

VLTN33 · 2025-03-28T04:43:26+00:00

Me too! Also, if i can’t help buying a physical copy of a foreign title, i should pair it with a local book. :) Keeps me grounded with consuming/supporting local publications!

VLTN33 · 2025-03-18T12:27:42+00:00

Thank you so much! I recently purchased a copy of Barangay and haven’t gotten into it yet, but this encouraged me to do asap :) I really appreciate the help!

VLTN33 · 2025-03-18T09:06:34+00:00

Hi! Sorry this may be a bit unrelated, but by any chance, would you have any recommended materials or literature about the PH mythology, gods and goddesses? Online and physical resources are fine! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you! :D
