📚 JUNE WRAP-UP 📚 • I didn't have time (or energy, lbh) to make an elaborate book journal entry like previous wrap-up posts so this should do. It was also a slow reading month for me - I only got to read 5 books - but in true Pride Month solidarity, all five feature positive representation of non-hetero stories and main characters. • 🏳️🌈 Kings Rising by C. S. Pacat 🏳️🌈 Stage Dreams by Melanie Gillman (eARC read on my laptop. Not sure how to bookstagram a laptop so it's not here on the photo, sorry) 🏳️🌈 My Monster Boyfriend comics anthology 🏳️🌈 The Soldier's Scoundrel by Cat Sebastian 🏳️🌈 Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey Mcquiston • Despite the hectic month, I was able to successfully do my Pride Bookstagram thing and I want thank all those who participated and who rec'd a lot of great Pride reads! 🙏🏼 I also joined a few other Pride-related challenges so check those hashtags out! I'm going to read more queer books and diversify through the spectrum so I'll have even better recs for next year's Pride Bookstagram! • How was your reading month? • #PrideLibrary19: Wrap-up . . . . #PrideBookstagram #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #diversebooks #diversereads #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride #TakePrideInReading https://www.instagram.com/p/BzXLgx5gG-z/?igshid=1v8c79vphmaoq

#PrideBookstagram Day 26: Peter Darling by Austin Chant • I've been wanting to read this for a while and finally got to it last month. I guess @minavesguerra 's tweets about it pushed it up the TBR. 😁 And it was indeed great! 💙💙💙 • This Peter Pan retelling starts somewhere after the original story ends and is told in a format that slowly unravels and upends what we've all known about the classic tale. I will have to admit that I struggled with the first few chapters bec Pan here is quite annoying and he makes really careless decisions that got into my nerves. And then I realized I was feeling that way bec that's exactly how boys who never want to grow up are: reckless and immature. It only made me love the writing more and when it becomes clear that the key to solving all of Pan's problems lie within an acceptance of himself, I could no longer put the book down! • The pairing is M/M with a trans character and I must say, I haven't read a lot of fiction with sensitive and respectful trans rep, but this does it exceptionally. CW to some homophobia and a bit of violence, but it wasn't excessive and it was necessary for the character-driven plot to get a move on. I loved that the sexual tension was subtle enough to match the whimsical tone of the book, but still very much there especially towards the end. • I highly recommend this esp to those who are looking for great trans narrative. If you've been waiting for the push to finally get and read it, this is it! 💙 . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #PeterDarling #AustinChant #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQhvcKAl9c/?igshid=13prosdymsm9

#PrideBookstagram Day 25: My Monster Boyfriend anthology • Now, this gift from @chachicsbooknook is one that's near and dear my bastos heart. LOL. And honestly, I'm not v much into reading fantasy kink, especially books with monsters, but I found this really fun, the concept was well-thought, and it's scorching HOT. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 • This collection features 10 original short comics from wonderful artists that absolutely did not hold back on the steam department. I love this bec it's not only diverse in terms of ethnicity and sexuality of the pairings, but also in the monster rep. The beloved vampires and werewolves are here (in an unexpected and hilarious story, I have to note) but there are also harpies, gargoyles, salamander-dragon creatures, an android, and more! • My faves are: ✨ "Sortuefinde 12, 213-7" bec the sadness and fury were expressed poignantly with the beautiful artwork and there's a bit of magic, more than ~monster, ✨ "Thirsty Work", bec it's sweet and the time-frame of the plot allowed for on page romance to develop, even though I found a consent issue (not with the sex, something else, but still), ✨ "Whitehill House" bec there's a TV-soap kind of feel to it that I really liked ✨ "A Winged Man Flew Into The Shed" bec the art was amazing, although I wanted to know more of the monster's origin and what comes after for Pinja. • I wanted to post another human element shot for this, but also love the cover so much so swipe to see it. 💜 *Also, I kind of want a wlw collection too, so I hope there's a My Monster Girlfriend book too. ✌️ 📸: @readbyher . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #SmutPeddlerPresents #MyMonsterBoyfriend #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride #ShotWithSergio (at Cafe Breton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQMCTCAb9z/?igshid=zp0gt5lf37nf

#PrideBookstagram Day 24: Bodies of Water by krayonela • Happy Friday!!! Here's another repost from an older bookstagram bec my borrowed copy is already with its owner (I should've taken more photos of it! 😅) Anyway, this short comic is packed with emotion and profound awareness of people and society. The simple artwork felt like a raw stripping down of complex, every day lives into fundamentals combined with water and ocean parallels. It's v interesting and the ~flow was easy to follow. I wish it ended differently though, but that's just me. Looking forward to other stuff from this creator! 🌊🌊🌊 • The rainy season is truly in full swing the past few days and while I appreciate the cooler, wetter weather, I can't help but worry about people living / working on flood prone areas. Hope you're safe and warm where you are as you're reading this! 🌧️🌧️🌧️ . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #selfpublishing #indiepublishing #sapphic #bodiesofwater #krayonela#ArtPH #KomikeroPH #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride (at Cafe Lyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzPqQEpgJJn/?igshid=96kcu8cicndt

The social relevance of this amazing graphic novel is as multi-layered as its storytelling so I'll just mention the ones that spoke to me personally. • The first is obviously the queerness of it. The book is subdivided into four distinct stories, two of which revolve around non-het couples and these parts take up majority of the book's content. We've got the MM couple that begins in a meet-disaster and becomes a unique friendship, and then a romantic relationship. I loved the part with a passage from the Quran, bec I rarely see gay Pinoy Muslim rep. Then there's the FF relationship between a collegiala activist and a blue-collar worker. I absolutely loved that the story was allowed to run longer than the rest of the stories here. We got to see Anais's and Dylan's stories develop from their personal struggles separately, as well as them as a couple. This is the story that really made me love the whole book. • Next is the non-exploitative representation of the poor an lower class. It is presented as it is in real-life, not glossed over, but also not cruel to the characters. They're living their lives and are allowed to find happiness and joy, and a hopeful future. • And lastly, I loved the geographic prehistory of the country juxtaposed in the contemporary stories. The Folkloric beginnings and the modern parallels matched the comic book's amazing artwork. I'm so glad it's in full-color too! I'm sharing select pages in random to avoid spoilers if you haven't read it yet. :) • So yeah, my rec for #romanceclassBAPbingo for Socially Relevant is Dead Balagtas Tomo 1: Sayaw ng mga Dagat at Lupa by Emiliana Kampilan • Thank u, bes @chachicsbooknook for letting me borrow! ❤️❤️❤️ . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #bookishfeature #bookcommunity #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #IGreads #books⠀ #LoveWins #ResistTogether #KomiksPH #DeadBalagtas #EmilianaKampilan #SociallyRelevant #readlocalPH #diversebooks #diversereads #BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy #QueerLit #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/B1k0okegU71/?igshid=1i5p7qpyq9kkz

#PrideBookstagram Day 29: Uwian and Akit: A Zine on Sexuality by various local creators • As you may have already noticed, most of the queer fiction I consume are mlm (for a good reason, LOL) but the past year I've been more conscious of getting stories representative of others in the spectrum. This month, I've managed to feature non-mlm stories for 13 days (almost half!) and today's post is about two collections of short comics with stories that show homosexuality beyond just gay men. • Uwian is a collection of wlw stories with varied interpretations of "coming home". My favorites are "Shift" by huli (second photo in the carousel) bec of its sweet simplicity and "Tadhana" by @hjuske bec, again, the simple and unfussed delivery of a v interesting meetcute hit me in the kokoro. 💕 The 12 pieces are arranged i think at random (?) and some have darker tones but for the most part these are fun and easy. • Akit is more heavy and the work really do shine light on identities that are not often represented in local media. The collection is a mix of one-shots, full-page artwork and on one instance, short prose. The diverse execution only enhances the diverse take on the navigating one's sexuality and ugh, I want more, longer!, content from each of the creators. :) • I'm finally caught up on my Pride Bookstagram posts! There's exactly 1 more post left and sigh, it feels so great to not be late for things for once.

#PrideBookstagram Day 28: Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole • This is my first Alyssa Cole book and I'm so happy bec it's such a great read! It's a second chance romance between Likotsi and Fabiola in NYC wintertime and there were a lot of moments I could picture to be in a fabulous Hallmark movie. I will have to admit that maybe I'd understand more of their backstories, or at least learn more about the worldbuilding if I read A Princess in Theory first, but it didn't take away my enjoyment of the romance where both women try to make their meeting in the now (the story is told out of chronological order) better than the last time they've seen each other. The PoC rep is also great, and there's themes of deportation, forced separation of families, and some important issues of the current times that's all handled well. I also love that the heroines are great at their jobs. Likotsi is personal assistant to a prince, and Fab is a jewelry artist and social media famous. Their careers add a thin layer of conflict to the romance, but it all works out and the chemistry of this two was amazing. • This photo was taken from a breakfast date with my #besfluencers and I swear I didn't edit in the rainbow🌈 on that Kindle cover. :) You can see the pancake butter melting as I tried to take advantage of the morning light for this bookstagram.

HAPPY PRIDE! 🏳️🌈 • I still won't be able to attend this year's Pride March (which is happening Right Now, omg) but please know that I'm still here, fighting for equality, acceptance and love. My tiny and most important contribution (personally) is still Start Here. There is defiance in putting out stories of love and romance that ends happily for LGBTQIAP+ 🌈🌈🌈, especially when a lot of people narrowmindedly refuse and prefer otherwise. . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #FuelTheLove #FreeLovePH #StartHere #RomanceClass #diversebooks #diversereads #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/BzSEuObgYAJ/?igshid=1py980fnj1pjg

#PrideBookstagram Day 22: Kwentong Tibo by Landlee • A new favorite is this collection of funny one-shot comics by a local artist. I've been buying her stickers thru friends (@saberkite mostly! 😁) but didn't realize she's got lesbian comics until after I've decimated my budget at Komiket last February. 😿 I was still super lucky though, bec the ever generous @minavesguerra gifted me her copy and now I've got the comics + stickers and the comics really is light-hearted fun. 💖 • Of course, bec this is written to reflect contemporary queer life in the Philippines(which is difficult), some pages were tongue-in-cheek sarcastic but overall the delivery was optimistic. The art style is so soft 🥰 and well, the comics is black and white but Landlee's stickers are beautifully colored in pinks and blues and purples which I think would be the same coloring for the comics and when colored that way. it'd work like a sweet topping to the soft art. I want MOAR! • *I just found out that the creator will be a merchant in Pride March 2019 (organized by @mmprideorg ) this June 29th in Marikina, so look out for her merch if you're interested. *I would absolutely love to be there, but I'm in a buying-ban (no new stickers, books, paintbrushes - no new fun stuff, basically) so that's more merch for y'alls, I guess. LOL • Are you going to the Pride March this year? (Or if you're in other places where the marches already happened, did you go?) I haven't been to any pride events, sadly, but tell me stories about your Pride experiences in the comments? 😊 • P.S. The circular Pride sticker is by a different artist, @artofshai. :) . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #KwentongTibo #Landlee #ArtPH #KomikeroPH #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLOWTXgQ20/?igshid=u4jmue31snr3

#PrideBookstagram Day 21: Kitten by Jack Harbon • I've been following Jack Harbon on social media for a while ever since I came across his Daddy serial on Wattpad, and I've been waiting for new stories from him so when announcement of this came out, you bet I shoved my massive TBR aside to get an ARC of this. AND I WAS RIGHT! This steamy romance between Kit and his new boss, Roman was such a delightful read! It's been a long while since I devoured a book so fast, but I couldn't put this down and when it was over, I wanted more! I've said this before, and I'll say this again: the selling point for me was the “Devil Wears Prada but Gay” pitch but OMG, the feels it gave me was so so good! 😍🥰. If you're looking for something fun, and funny (Kit's sass was perfect!), and will hit you right in the heart, I highly recommend you check this out! ❤️ • Caveat: the hot art print featured with the book in this shot doesn't represent Kit and Roman to a tee, but heehee 😈 there's a lot of what they're doing in the book and it's GLORIOUS! 😉 . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #romancetagram #Kitten #JackHarbon #ownvoices #AoC #diversebooks #diversereads #diverseromance #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLH3SYAzKu/?igshid=k2rfotc3kqok

#PrideBookstagram Day 20: No Two Ways by Chi Yu Rodriguez • *Catch Up * Catch Up * Catch Up * • I'm a week late for this tiny project of mine so I'm squeezing a bit of time to SQUEE to you about this new favorite of mine from one of my favorite romanceclass authors! I love this bec it's #OwnVoices and tells the story with the familiarity of being an adult Pinoy living and working in the Philippines, but told uniquely through AJ's eyes and experiences. This has got to be my first Filipino read with a bisexual MC who's not figuring out her sexuality, and I so loved how comfortable and proud AJ is with herself. She is doubtful of her feelings towards Jackie, a little bit towards her ex, Axel, too, but the love she has nurtured for herself is solid and that's what I found so inspiring. ❤️❤️❤️ • My photo here is through the Kindle so you can't see the beautiful cover in it's full-color glory, but search through the romanceclass hashtag and look at the 😍🥰 print copy! . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #romanceclass #NoTwoWays #NTWBook #BiExists #ChiYuRodriguez #Pridereads#BiReads #AJacks #diversebooks #diversereads #diverseromance #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLDHtsAKoN/?igshid=p32uwb3uyl9o

#PrideBookstagram Day 19: American Dreamer and American Fairytale by Adriana Herrera • A new favorite of mine, the Dreamers Series puts PoC front and center of the stories (and their amazing covers!) and delivers swoon-worthy romance in contemporary America. The first book, American Dreamer pairs Nesto, a food-truck business owner, and Jude, a librarian who falls in love with Afro-Carribean food, as well as the chef that lovingly prepares it. The second book, American Fairytale is a billionaire romance with age-gap tropes (my kryptonite!!! if we're being honest) with social worker Camilo, getting smitten with the adorable Tom. 💞 I loved both these books bec of the representation the non-white heroes and the things they have to face in society in current times, but I loved the second book better bec the pace was more of what I'm comfortable with (it gets really 🔥hot🔥 in the beginning and then they slowly fall in love with each other before they even realized it!!!🥰) and the conflict was more internal between Milo and Tom. But both are really great and agh, the third book, American Love Story was just recently announced and I CANNOT WAIT for it! • #PrideLibrary19: Favorite Character - Libertad is my favorite character in American Fairytale! Her sass is magnificent and I just loved every scene with her. As for protagonists, Jude in American Dreamer is the one I relate to the most, but Milo in the other book is the most fun. ☺️ . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #DreamersSeries #AmericanDreamer #AmericanFairytale #AdrianaHerrera #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/By5IEFsAbpC/?igshid=1dje144cip2o4

#PrideBookstagram Day 17: Dead Balagtas Tomo 1: Sayaw ng mga Dagat at Lupa by Emiliana Kampilan • This is a v interesting book bec it conveys the geographic prehistory of the Philippines with mythic and contemporary parellels in people's lives. It starts with a version of the folkoric god Tungkung-Langit and goddess Laon Sina creating the world and Pangea (and I'll talk about this more in a separate review, probably) and then veers into stories about modern-time Filipinos and their relationships as the supercontinent's pieces break off to form the world as we know it now. Sounds interesting? Well, there's more! 2 of 3 of the relationships are wonderfully non-hetero, and both end in pleasing, super satisfying ways! • So, I'm only showing pages with the non-het pairings here (bec it's a Pride post!) and I'm so glad with this layered representation bec it's not only diverse in the sexual identity department, also in the societal and class side of urban Philippines. And I know A LOT of PH fiction has these themes, but it has been hard for me to read more of that since I mostly prefer my books to have at least hopeful endings (real-life already sucks, let me get some happiness!) and this book goes into those hardships, emotional labor and all, AND THEN makes it all worth it bec our protagonists win at the finish line (esp. the wlw one! 🥰). Plus, the layout, the illustrations and the whole art of this is just phenomenal! • I highly, HIGHLY recommend this and thank you so much @chachicsbooknook (again!!!) for letting me borrow. I am considering getting my own copy when I finally can. . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #KomiksPH #DeadBalagtas #EmilianaKampilan #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride (at Meycauayan, Bulacan) https://www.instagram.com/p/By0Jhc_A_IY/?igshid=tqlfsg89ydgo

#PrideBookstagram Day 16: My Brother’s Husband by Gengoroh Tagame • Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father-figures, Dads and Dad-bods, Daddies and Sugar Da- wait! 😅😂🤣 • Anyway, I didn’t really mean to post about this 2-volume manga today of all days but as I was thinking of the caption, I remembered a scene in the second book where Yaichi ponders on what he’d do if his daughter, Kana, grows up and decides to marry a woman, pretty much like his twin brother, Ryoji did when he married Mike. It was impactful to me bec Yaichi had been struggling about the whole idea of homosexuality - he hadn’t handled the issue very well when his brother came out to him and that stretched to their estrangement to their adulthood. He was also still processing the fact that Mike was living with them for the time being, etc., - but he didn’t skip a heartbeat on accepting and understanding Kana (and loving her wholeheartedly still!) despite his conservative and traditional beliefs. He also took it to the next level by voicing out his issue with Kana’s school teacher’s homophobic behavior. I’ve known people who have come to be more inclusive internally, with themselves, but still struggle to express it externally, so this character development on Yaichi’s part is so dear to me. ❤️Fathers need to be more like Yaichi. Queer kids need more of your unconditional love than you’ll ever imagine. • 📸: @readbyher 📚: @lapinwolffe (thank you! ❤️) • #PrideLibrary19: Diverse Books . . . . #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdPH #bookworm #instabooks #bookish #alwaysreading #bookstagramersPH #booksofig #LoveWins #ResistTogether #Manga #MyBrothersHusband #GengorohTagame #diversebooks #diversereads #QueerLit #PrideMonthBookRecs #PrideReads #Pride #PagesofPride https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxuSGtgYwT/?igshid=1trsapqmujzgz
