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.
Tara’s Thoughts On: Hopeless
“Just because you’re breathing doesn’t mean you’re alive.”
I watched #Hopeless, a Korean noir film by debuting director Kim Changhoon starring Song Joongki, Hong Xabin, and BiBi.

Tara’s Takeaways: What’s my favorite thing about self-publishing?
It’s true. All so true.
The above image was part of a slideshow I created for a Book Talk I was invited to recently. Most of the details are on this Instagram post, but long story short—I spoke about my self-publishing experience to a group of Grade 7-10 students and had fun. Yes, even if I had NO idea what I was going to do when I got the email invitation.
I mean…it’s a group of teenagers, and I mostly write adult romance. Heh.
Teatro Lakambini has a new face!
Waiting in the Wings has a new cover! How much do you lab it?
It’s been six years since the release of Waiting in the Wings, my romance novella set in Manila’s musical theatre world, and while I didn’t have any urgent plans to change its cover, the idea had been simmering in my mind for a while. In February this year, PETA Theater opened its doors to a new Filipino musical entitled Walang Aray (an adaptation of Severino Reyes’ Walang Sugat), and it captured my heart instantly and prompted all of this madness.
