Bookmarked: Celebrating Lands and Seas
by Lindy Gamolo This month, we are delighted to join all environmentalists and advocates in celebrating the Philippine Environment Month and Celebrate the Seas Month.

Bookmarked: The Bookmark Collector ~ Cherie Flores
by Lindy Gamolo This month, we’re back with our favorite segment: the bookmark collector. Last year, we featured collectors from Europe and Australia (Willy, Liudmila, and Robin).

Bookmarked: Film-Featuring Bookmark Series by Libreria Follas Novas
by Lindy Gamolo I know it’s similar to Fiction Nation’s theme (with all due respect to our wonderful SIC, Allana), but I have several reasons in writing about bookmarks featuring film adaptations for September.

Photobooks: A Trip Down Memory Lane
by Lindy Gamolo Like most things, memories do not last forever. They fade over time, no matter how hard we try to keep them safe in our minds. To make it worse, we could completely lose them when we’re older and maybe have more time to look back on our lives. Sometimes, what’s left are vague…
