Connect Five Books Challenge: Five Books Written by Filipino Writers

Every year I participate in the Goodreads Reading Challenge. I usually start the year with a goal of reading 50 books and then just gradually increase the number as I continue to add up more readings towards the end of the year. As of this writing, I’ve read 64 books and hopefully, can still add more before the year officially ends.

One of the most interesting ways I found to wrap up the reading year is the Connect Five Books Reading Challenge hosted by Kathryn of Book Date. I enjoyed revisiting the books I read this year to find common themes in them.

Five Books on Mythology

Madeline Miller is one of my favorite discoveries and favorite persons of 2019. After I read Circe, I fell in love with Madeline’s prose and storytelling, so I started learning about her. I love how passionate she is on mythology. She’s one author whose future works I am sure to look forward to reading.
