Book Blog Tour Roundup: Wild Song

October will end in a day ushering in November. Busy days ahead!

So. Here is a wrap-up and a roundup of the Book Blog Tour I conducted for Wild Song (Gourlay, Anvil 2023). Much thanks to the book bloggers who shared their insights. Let us hope to inspire more readers to read and reach out to reluctant readers out there. 

Xi Zuq's review of Wild Song - 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠 is definitely one of my best reads this year! To discover more about it and the author’s other books, head to her account tagged here. There’s also a link in my bio to the blog tour that @zarahgeeh is hosting for the book.

Teacher Mocs' review of Wild Song - Wild Song by Candy Gourlay is a story that explores identity and woman empowerment. Candy shared this through Luki. Through her use of very descriptive words one will witness Luki’s transformation all throughout the story.

One Valenzuela's review of Wild Song - I had to stop reading and wipe off tears when Sidong said "We didn't leave Tilin behind." 

Raissa's review of Wild SongLuki was the most memorable character in Bone Talk, so I was glad she was the hero of this companion book. While it takes place after the events of Bone Talk, you don’t need to have read Bone Talk to understand this story.

And here now is my teacher and parent guide, also known as, a reading plan. I used this for my college teaching at St. Paul's University Manila during the first term. You will see how my students have taken so much fun in the activities!   

My Reading Plan for Wild Song  which consists of "during reading activities" that are meant to engage, inspire and accompany readers to think through Wild Song. This was followed up by "post reading activities". One of my students chose to curate a playlist and another conducted an interview with Ms. Gourlay through email.


Life in September and October were harsh, but here we are. I'm grateful to have finished another blog tour. On to the next!
