1) She has amnesia.
2) Shes on the run from her fathers creditors.
3) Shes enjoying her last days on earth.
Ever since Jang Min Hee walked into Gios small museum, shes given him one excuse after another about why shes vacationing at scenic Boracay Island. Rarely has Gios neat and organized world been shaken like this. Soon he finds himself scrambling over rocks, hiding in dressing rooms, and dragging her out of bars. But how can Gio tell what's true from what isn't? Their worlds are getting unraveled -- one story at a time.

1. I love covers! As a bookseller I was always picking up books I was walking by because of the cover.
2. I read on my porch every day!
3. How can anyone stop mid-chapter?
4. I have a ton of bookmarks and never use anything else.

Thanks, @SilversReviews

SilversReviews I hear you about covers. They always call my name. :) Stopping mid-chapter is too difficult. I wish I were in the habit of using bookmarks. Thanks for playing. 6y

#ThreeWordTitles for #riotgrams. These are all #romanceclass titles (Filipino romance in English) because they were the ones that I was able to grab first from my bookshelf.🤣

I wrote this book about my old home and brought it to my new one. It's got beaches and museums and unhappy tourists who might end up happy.

Chachic Aww maybe you can write about your new home in the future! 7y
islandstorygirl @Chachic I hope to do that! 😊 7y
MrBook Nice background! 7y
islandstorygirl @MrBook Thank you! I snuck my book on a helicopter ride--it was small enough to fit my coat pocket! 7y

#BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy: I had lunch with @Fantaghiro23 and Tarie earlier today, two out of the three ladies behind the lovethemidlist Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/lovethemidlist). They pair midlist book recommendations with skincare products they love. So my post today was inspired by what they do. Cover Story Girl by @islandstorygirl is a fun beach romance set in Boracay Island, with a Filipino hero and a Korean heroine.

Chachic Full disclosure, Chris Mariano is a good friend so I may be biased but I'm a fan of her writing. Skincare-wise, I absolutely love Vanderohe's no. 1 face serum: a blend of rosehip, grapeseed, apricot kernel oils plus 8 essential oils. It's organic, smells amazing, feels awesome on my skin and has helped my face become smoother and clearer. One stop skincare solution in a bottle! #romantsy #romanceclass 7y
islandstorygirl Thanks for sharing this, @Chachic! 7y
Chachic @islandstorygirl I hope I managed to convince some readers here to pick it up.😄 7y

Chachic @julesG Tagging you here so you can see the face oil I'm using, since we're talking about skincare in the other thread.😉 7y
julesG Thanks. This looks interesting, I'll check it online and find out where I might find a counter to try it out. 7y
Chachic @julesG The founder/owner is really responsive so maybe you can message her to ask where you can try a sample. I love it, just that it's expensive because she sources the oils from their countries of origin. 7y

Went to Boracay a month ago and made sure to bring Chris Mariano's Cover (Story) Girl, which was set in the island. 🌊 🌴 Of course I had to get a box of calamansi muffins - no Boracay trip is complete without a visit at Real Coffee Shop! 💛 #romanceclass #romantsy

Chachic I need to try these calamansi muffins! 7y

Another #SameBookDifferentCover shot for #AprilBookShowers. A fun, flirty and sweet Filipino romance set in one of our most famous beaches, Boracay. Left one is the Philippine edition, right is international.

TheKidUpstairs Again, left one is much nicer! Go Phillipines editions! 8y
Chachic @TheKidUpstairs Oh that edition was published with two other titles with a similar design. Check out the pic I posted for 8y

#booksbyAsianwriters, specifically by Filipino authors! I haven't read all of these and it makes me happy to have more than a few Filipino titles to look forward to. Some of these are available as ebooks so please look them up if you're interested in diverse reads.

My stash of physical copies of #romanceclass books here in Singapore, only Make My Wish Come True isn't mine (it's a belated Christmas gift that I still need to give to a friend). All of them are signed and were given as gifts. Thank you, Filipino romance authors!💖

Beaches and mangoes - the perfect Christmas combination! It's impossible to find mangoes in Australia that match the sweetness of Philippine mangoes, but I'll take what I can get! #romantsy #bookandfruit

Chachic Philippine mangoes are the best ever!💖 I'm so sad that they're not available in Singapore either, they get their mangoes from Thailand. Chris' book is a good read.👌 8y
BookThingo @Chachic Not to mention some of the mangoes her are $3 per mango. 😭I have this book in print, too, and I should finish it over the holiday. 😊 8y
Chachic @BookThingo Girl, it's 3sgd for HALF a mango over here. That same amount of money can get us half a kilo back home. 8y

BookThingo @Chachic On one hand, that's TERRIBLE. On the other hand, I kind of feel better about buying $3 mangoes now. 😂😭 8y
Chachic Hahaha thanks! Kaya I only buy mangoes when I'm craving them. 8y
BookThingo What if crave then everyday, @Chachic??? WHAT THEN??? 😭😭😭 8y
Chachic Then no money! No money to buy books! 8y
BookThingo @Chachic Mangoes or books? 😭😭😭 8y

Afternoon delights. Arctic fire tea takes me back to me uni days. It's like drinking flowers. #romanceclass #romantsy

Chachic Oh I love floral teas! 8y
BookThingo @Chachic Ooh, what's your favourite? 8y
Chachic @BookThingo Brand or flavor?😁 8y

BookThingo Flavour. I just get mine from T2 - I'm not that picky. 😷 8y
BookThingo @Chachic I forgot to @ again! 😭 8y
Chachic I think T2 is a good brand naman? Flavor-wise, I like floral ones like rose, lavender or a blend of floral and fruity. I like earl grey that has floral notes. 8y

Lunchtime reads. I picked up Cover Story Girl in Manila after listening to an excerpt on the #romanceclass podcast. Fresh #Romance is a #BlameItOnLitsy buy, thanks to @Chachic and her tempting photos! The sukiyaki don is comfort food. 😍 #romantsy

Chachic YOU BOUGHT IT! Fingers crossed that you'll enjoy it as much as I did, otherwise I'll feel guilty. Please keep me posted.😁 8y
BookThingo @Chachic I'm saving it for a good reading day. It's so pretty, I don't want to crease the spine! 😂 8y
Chachic I mostly read at home so I wouldn't damage the copy! 8y
