This month’s #RomanceClass Take Three Project will take you away to places you’ve never been, or have been, but want to go back to–through Filipino-authored romances! In this post, five authors share their favorite places, as seen in #romanceclass books. I have provided links to the books as well, in case any of them piques your interest.
Ready? Jet set? GO!
Happy Romance Awareness Month, everybody! Which romance novels have you been reading lately, and can I interest you in some Filipino-authored romances?
For this month’s #romanceclass Take Three Project, I asked readers and authors about the places in #romanceclass books that inspired them to dream of a great getaway someday soon. Check out their responses below–maybe you’ll find your next romantic adventure with these books, too!
(Links have been included to the books listed, in case you were wondering where to get them.)
Are you tracking the #romanceclass hashtag on Instagram and Twitter? If you’re looking for some FREE #romanceclass reads or books at discounted prices, you better start checking in on the hashtag NOW. This #BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy, we are slashing prices on some of titlesĀ or giving them away for FREE!
I bet your TBR list is shaking. š
Every Friday at 8:00 pm (PHT), #romanceclass authors will be announcing a #romanceclassdeal, valid only for a limited time. This means you should be ready to hit one-click on your Kindles/Kindle apps, because these deals aren’t going to last very long! Ready for the first batch of deals? Here we go:
Meet-cute.
You know the drill. Romantic lead meets love interest for the first time. Maybe it’s awkward, maybe they hit it off right away. Maybe it’s aĀ total disaster. Whatever it is, a meet-cute happens when a future romantic couple meets for the first time. It sets tone and expectation for the readers, and is often one of the most memorable scenes in a romance novel or a rom-com.
Do you want to know what makes a meet-cute work? Join us on July 14 as we have an entire discussion about meet-cutes, led by actors Gio Gahol, Gracielle So, and Sam Aquino, using scenes from manuscripts by #romanceclass authorsĀ Carla de Guzman, Ines Bautista-Yao, Six de los Reyes, Chi Yu Rodriguez, C.P. Santi, Clare Elisabeth Marquez, and Brigitte Bautista.
To join the discussion from 2-4pm, you need to purchase a book from the selection available at the venue on the day of the event. Snacks are included. ^_^
Book and merch selling happens after 4pm.
Hope to see you there! <3
First things first: Please DO NOT expect much coherence from this post. I know,Ā I know. I’m a writer… I should at least manage to string together some decent words, yes? But Too Many Feelings and Too Few Hours of Sleep can do things to the brain, so… anyway.
February 11 was another day of firsts for #romanceclass.Ā Let me enumerate them:
Did I miss anything?
I probably did.
So yeah, anyway… we did a lot of other stuff before the live reading. That included book and merch selling, eating FREE cookies (thanks, Abbie! :D), browsing new books at the Book Cafe (thanks Caryn! :D), finding book blind dates, and playing games. To be honest, I only had two hours of sleep prior to the event, but the energy in the room (where it happened) kept me going.
