Iris After the Incident | 
Today‘s #audiowalk was way less slushy and dull thanks to a high of 14°. I celebrated with a 5-mile round trip sans gloves and hat but with jacket, because 14‘s comparatively warm but still not bare arm weather.
And I made a good start on what I think‘ll be a great new book. Mina V Esguerra hasn‘t disappointed me yet.

@minavesguerra is one of my #autobuyauthors! And I know she loves pumpkin soup so here's one of her books with my favorite pumpkin soup in Singapore (because it's served with burnt cheddar on top).

Happy #InternationalWomensDay!😊 On my blog, I featured books I read in the past year that have awesome female characters. Link: https://chachic.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/2017-international-womens-day/
What are some of the books you've read and loved that have fictional ladies who have shown strength in various ways?

A book that starts with a Buffy quote is always going to be a winner ?#romantsy #romanceclass
Xander: You have no shame.
Cordelia: Oh please. Like shame is something to be proud of.

I met up with a bunch of romance reader friends, and the first thing we talked about was Iris After The Incident. My two friends who had read it (one of whom teaches romance and popular fiction at university) LOVED it. And in a beautiful coincidence, I had bought them all a print copy of Learning To Fall by @minavesguerra for Christmas. 😊 Ebook: http://amzn.to/2hFNzdC
My weekend read plus scones with cream and TWG's French earl grey tea jelly. Yum! Scones are one of my favorite discoveries in Singapore because they're not common in Manila. Great choice for a snack while reading. Do you snack when you read?

"For all the stuff I had to let go of, some things I clung to because they helped me cope, kept some part of me intact. Pesto linguini and buttered rolls - that was me. I needed it."

Thinking of this and what "my things" are. Not specific but I think I'd go with good food (including fine teas) and great books. What are yours?
Toasted ensaymada, cappuccino with muscovado and my next Filipino romance read: Iris After the Incident by @minavesguerra.
