Libromance is the combination of the word “libro” which is Tagalog for the word “book”, and romance.

This blog is dedicated to a bookworm’s lifelong affinity and gratitude to the power and the beauty of the written word.

Late bday post but thanks for the love y’all, for letting me be me 🖤 The struggle to live on your own terms is forevs a goal, so each day towards that is a celebration. Out here reading, writing, experimenting, creating, getting my feet wet in a bunch of new things...so fr fr, thank you. & happy first day of spring! 📸: @lainyhu
Happy book birthday to #NaokoAbe’s book THE SAKURA OBSESSION 🌸 Thank you to my friends over at @aaknopf for my copy, just in time as these cherry blossom trees bloom out here in the Bay. This book is not just an ode to cherry blossom trees & their cultural significance, but also the story of a man who obsessed about them so much that he did everything to preserve them. Thank you Naoko for this beautiful book, and thank you Collingwood "Cherry" Ingram for yr work 🌸
Steppin out #inmynisolos with spring just around the corner 🌸 #booklook
Reading @tanehisipcoates for the first time, with "We Were Eight Years in Power: An American Tragedy” from @oneworldbooks (thank you for my copy). This collection of essays illuminate hard-hitting truths about black history & struggle, as we tumultuously navigate 45th’s presidency. Every time I come back to this book after working, doin whatever it is that I’m occupied with, I’m reminded of the urgency, the necessity with which allies like myself have a responsibility to. #BlackLivesMatter

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Today’s #booklook: a dystopian feminist revenge fantasy novel by the Welsh writer Sophie Mackenzie called THE WATER CURE. This book is so hard to describe because of the ways it deals with the body, family, rven energy. If @handmaidsonhulu meets @thevirginsuicidesofficial is your thing, go & get this book, Thank you @doubledaybooks for my copy 🖤 // "Part of what made the old world so terrible, so prone to destruction, was a total lack of preparation for the personal energies often called feelings. Mother told us about these kinds of energies. Especially dangerous for women, our bodies already so vulnerable in ways that the bodies of men are not. It was a wonder that there were still safe places, islands like ours where women can be healthful and whole.”
