booklovertitas – Tara Tries To Write

3 Takeaways from the Connect the Hearts blog tour!

So back in May, I sought the help of a wonderful group of bookish ladies who call themselves BookLoverTitas to organize a book tour for my latest release, Connect the Hearts. The tour ran from June 7 to 18, with 12 bookish titas participating, and they did such an amazing job. They kept me on my toes, anticipating their posts every day, and I loved that they enjoyed the book a lot.

I’d been holding off on actually posting about this because we were supposed to have a face-to-face meetup last weekend and I wanted to include photos of us on this post. But alas, the weather put a damper on our plans and we had to reschedule.

Anyway, this post is long overdue, so let me just do it before laziness gets a hold of me. These are my 3 Takeaways from the Connect the Hearts Book Tour:

Connect the Hearts is on tour!

Finally had the brain cells to do something to promote my latest book, Connect the Hearts, and it’s a book tour in collaboration with Book Lover Titas on Instagram!

Book Lover Titas is a growing Instagram community of titas who share a love for reading. Founded in 2020, Book Lover Titas conduct various activities such as monthly book discussions, bookish events and hangouts, and collaborations with local publishers and authors, all to foster a warm and welcoming experience among tita book lovers.

I first met one of their members, Krystine, when she attended a #RomanceClass event last year, and again, this year when she and another Book Lover Titas member, Tess, came to our #BlushBooks x Fully Booked event last February. In March, I also met Diane who visited the #RomanceClass booth at the 2025 Philippine Book Festival. They’ve been so warm and supportive not just of #RomanceClass authors, but also of other Filipino authors, so I decided to get in touch with them to see if they’d be interested in hosting a book tour for Connect the Hearts. They said YES! and now here we are, almost on the second week of the book tour that started on June 7.

I’m sharing some of their posts below, but first, take advantage of this ebook sale for Connect the Hearts! The book is only $1.99 (original price $4.99) until June 20, so it’s time to one-click the book and share this with your romance book loving friends!

And now, here’s what our Book Lover Titas have to say about Connect the Hearts:
