My entire being has been so focused on my first trip to the Philippines as an adult so I’ve been having a hard time concentrating. Still, I managed quite a few good reads and watches!

What I Recommend

Death in the Cards by Mia P. Manansala

I’ve been a fan since Mia’s first book Arsenic and Adobo and her first YA does not disappoint. It’s zippy, intriguing, and full of teenage angst.

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

This is the modernized Arthurian tale I’ve been searching for and I can’t wait to read the sequels. It’s cool, creative, and very emotional in the best way.

Misc. Other Media

Had an absolute blast with the ending of Andor and really enjoying Ncuti Gatwa’s second season on Doctor Who so far. Did I watch any movies? Probably. Can’t remember. My brain is mush.

Onwards and upwards!
