2023 Reading Spree


This year, I am going back to basics loljk 
I'll put whatever I have in mind at this moment: 

  • A doorstopper, something that has 500 pages at least in the Trade paperback edition. Two doorstoppers are so fulfilling!!! Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See is finally done, and Olivia Laing's The Lonely City is also done and notated. Time to grab the Hanya Yanagihara book about NYC and #laslasreads 
  • A highly-marketed contemporary fiction, like Crying in H Mart, or Malibu Rising. Any that has "NYTimes bestseller" up on its sleeve. 
  • A pocketbook — Wattpad, Popfic, Precious Hearts, What have you got, as long as lower than 300pages. Ella to locate an old Penguin classic on the old vault of old books lols Scifi rosters especially those stories that were recently found in Clarkesworld Magazine back-issues. That was an amazing treasure grove of good works. If I can, I will try Asimov. BUT DO NOT EXPECT. 
  • Essay and/or Creative Nonfiction compilations. Because I want to go back to writing again. And as I see myself, I have my bread-and-butter calisthenics on recording flash-fiction-esque memories. So I want to do CNF and submit a work again somewhere.
  • LOCAL READS — andami ko nang Pinoy-authored books na hindi ko pa nababasa huhuz. Like Bibliolepsy, Yñiga, and even the newly purchased Love Team (I have to ask Alan again if I can sound-produce an excerpt in my #Pahinahan) 

No pressure but I will try my best at:
 
  • Post-Modern work like House of Leaves by Danielewski. It has a cult following, pero natatakot aoo basahin sa gabi. Please, give me courage and strength. 
  • Horror or Surreal works of Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk. HOMAYGAHD AM I SERIOUS WITH THIS THOUGH OMG I DUNNO I — fine, YOLO. 
  • ONLY ONE Self-help/Leadership/Management-related book. I cannot afford to splurge Php1,000 just to trash it away after one session of fast-read. So if you love me or love the nature at least, I'd appreciate if you can give me a discounted copy, a bootleg, or a kindle version of it. I NEED RECOMMENDATIONS!
