Taguwasi Urduja Tala: Daughter of BathalaI finished reading the ALAMAT BOOK SERIES by a Filipino Author. It is such a fresh take on Filipino mythology. I started reading the 1st book last year and got hooked. The series now has 6 books on it.
Halfway through Good Behavior by Molly Keane. Really funny, and I enjoy the attitude of deprecation it takes with the landed gentry. Hit a bit of a slump pace-wise due to real world stuff but I'm hoping to buckle in and finish it this weekend
Just finished, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry. Now, having an argument with myself whether I should read Practical Magic by Hoffman or The Bookshop of Dust and Dreams by Thompson. Lol, There Are Rivers in the Sky by Shafak just caught my eye. So hard to pick one right now. Hmmm, maybe I’ll start with Thompson.
I'm currently reading (and constantly fighting my growing reading slump again haha) Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata. Not sure if I can finish this one though, we'll see!
Just finished Stormlight Archive 5, Red Rising 1 & 2 in a single week. Was feeling it, now I’m reading The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel
Starting the year with a nonfiction, set in El Salvador The Water Defenders: How Ordinary People Saved a Country from Corporate Greed

You'd Look Better as a Ghost by Joanna Wallace was a mixed bag for me.
