I’m very happy to report that I had a very productive month in terms of reading. By the end of January, I’d been able to read five books (two audiobooks, two ebooks, and one graphic novel/komiks anthology). I’m not sure I’ll be able to post reviews about all of them, but I have two of them right here:
So I read three books in December (OMG WHO IS SHE?), and I blame my new Kindle mostly haha. Here’s a quick review for each of them.
I really wanted to like this.
Honestly, anything KDrama and KPop would be a huge draw for me, and Flip The Script looked like a promising queer romance between two young KDrama actresses who were supposed to be rivals in a TV show. What’s not to get excited about?
Reading Kaith C. Cimafranca’s Take Two reminded me of those cozy Star Cinema rom-coms in the 90s where stakes weren’t as high, but you still root for the main characters really hard. In Take Two, now-Canadian resident VJ meets her TOTGA (she will deny this if you call him that, btw) at a party 19 years after she left the Philippines to start anew. Marco instantly feels how aloof VJ is, but he doesn’t seem to mind, and we understand this little dynamic of theirs as the story brings us back and forth from their college years to the present.
