Filipino American History Month Short Story
As part of Filipino American History Month, today I’ll be sharing my top ten TBR books from #romanceclass. It is a website and community that specifically focus on highlighting independently published books from Filipino authors. So far, I’ve only come to read books by Mina Esguerra, Six de los Reyes, and Agay Llanera. Though, one thing is for sure I want to read more from this genre.

Below, you could see what’s on my TBR list.

What About Today by Dawn Lanuza

Who wouldn’t’ fall in love with that pastel cover? The premise seems to offer a ride to the possibility of vanilla friendship or romance. That is instantly a yes for me.

If there’s one thing I dreaded in high school it would be P.E., there’s no love lost between sports and I. Ironically, I love reading sports books that have a romance subplot. This one hit my spot just well. …show more content…
I can’t wait to see how this will turn out!

My friend Sil from The Book Voyagers recommended this short story to me. I love the cover and it seems a quirky read. I’m excited to get my hands on it.

I’m not a fan of BDSM, but my interest elevated after reading “snarky feminist with a huge chip on her shoulder.” I just know I have to get

    Book Rapport

    The book I am reviewing is called Matched by Ally Condie. Matched is a book which has an exiting futuristic theme. Matched is a book about a courageous, open minded girl named Cassia, a girl with two parents, a brother, and two best friends Xander and Em. In the book Cassia battles with society and not any type of society a new society. The society chooses everyone’s life they have chose that everyone should die at 80; they chose that there should only be 100 songs. Poetries, paintings ECT. In their city, the society chooses everyone’s job and food too, society chooses who gets marries to who at a special event called a match banquet. When Cassia finds out she has been matched with someone really close she starts developing strong feeling about him. But as soon as she sees another face pop up on her match’s microcard she starts having second thoughts. See who Cassia gets “matched” within this epic, love triangle, and risk taking story. Matched is a beautiful love triangle I would give 9 out of 10 to. I think the concept of the book was very unique and eye catching.…

    Research Paper About Filipino-American

    The subject of my interview is Rob Reyes. He has been our next door neighbor since we moved here to Indio six months ago. He is a second generation Filipino-American that was born in America and has lived in California all of his life. Rob is 26 years old and has been married to his wife Sandra, 27, for 2 years. They don’t have any children, but do plan on having some once they save more money and the economy gets better. They are not rushing it because they have 3 dogs that are their “kids” for the time being, plus they like having their friends over on Friday nights for poker and social drinks. Rob is a technician for Time Warner Cable and has been employed with them for 7 years. His wife Sandra works at a doctor’s office in Palm Springs 30 miles away, so both of them are gone most of the day and we only see them in the evening when they are home from work.…

    Ap Literature Reflection

    Last summer I was training for cheer competitions while also trying to prep for my AP Literature course. I spent hours at school practicing cheers, stunting, conditioning, keeping a book by my side the whole time. I annotated works of literature at cheer camp, and spent my vacation at Las Vegas inside hotel wrapped up in the new worlds I was discovering. This summer I took classes, long hours and stressful nights but I got what I needed to get done, done. I slept over at friends’ houses, watched horrible 90’s romances, while stuffing our faces with candy and eating fruit bowls. We talked about our futures, and crushes. I worked hard over my summers but I still made time to be a teenager and have my version of…

    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Fifty Shades of Grey, was a decent book however what really got me to read this book was that I had read this poem from EL James. She had said that, “Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.”(GoodReads) I then discovered she had written this book, and I had to read it.…

    A Historian Writing About the Asian Americans

    When people think of Asian-Americans, typically people automatically think of just Chinese people or Japanese people. The Asian-American community is made up of not only the Chinese and Japanese, but also Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, and Korean. The term Asian American was used informally by activists in the 1960s who sought an alternative to the term Oriental, arguing that the latter was derogatory and colonialist. Usually when people say Oriental, they are referring to a food, not a person.…
