International Book Giving Day 2014: Books Given Away

This is Sam. He is a grade 2 student at San Beda College Alabang. I gave him a copy of my book, My Daddy! My One and Only during International Book Giving Day 2014. He looked thrilled to get a free book!

International Book Giving Day 2014: Books Given Away

Because it was International Book Giving Day last February 14, 2014, I gave away two of my books: My Daddy! My One and Only! (Lampara Books, 2013) and Tales From the 7,000 Isles: Filipino Folk Stories (De Las Casas and Gagatiga, ABC CLIO, 2011).

Here's a photo of the first book given away --

This is Mr. Joseph De Santo, my co-teacher and friend. He is married to a Filipina and they have a daughter whom they named Mayumi.

Tell us what books would make for a good reading pair. 

There are books that go well together. When, after reading one, you'd like to follow it up with another that's probably written by the same author; the same genre; or something entirely different.

For example: Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms; Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Hawking's The Brief History of Time;  Yang'sAmerican Born Chinese and Giaman's The Graveyard Book.

Tell us! Intrigue us! 

Make us want to read those books!

Also, tomorrow is International Book Reading Day and I'll be giving away some books. 

February 14 is International Book Giving Day
