One of the most beautiful books at MIBF. But FYI, I bought this copy for its contents. 😁

It's the last day of MIBF! These are what I bought at the bookfair yesterday: Edgar Allan Poe, Arabian Nights, Hans Christian Andersen, Favorite Folktales from Around the World, and the Brothers Grimm. All are books of short stories—mostly fairly tales. ❤️ As a short fiction writer, fairly tales are a genre I have difficulty writing. Getting a fairy tale published is even harder. And no, I'm not fond of writing retellings—though I read them. I want to create my own fairy tales. ☺️

The "Are you serious?" look she gives me when she doesn't wanna play

Found Dickens and Wilde at Booksale instead of finding my passport at DFA. 😅 The Wilde novel is the ONLY novel Oscar Wilde ever wrote. So glad to get a copy of it. 😉 "The Concubine" by Norah Lofts — international best-selling author known for her authentic application of period detail to all her historical novels — is about Anne Boleyn. All three were also short story writers. ❤️

This is my second book of short stories this year — saw it with a friend at National Book Store. This time by our very own Filipino short story writer, Manuel E. Arguilla, best known for his short story, "How My Brother Leon Brought Home a Wife." #shortstorybook #shortstories #shortfiction #amwriting #filipinowriter

Chartreuse la Célébrité Says no to paparazzi Non, non, non aux paparazzi

We saw this great book at Fully Booked last week, and my friend — many thanks, Danica! — bought it for me as a belated birthday gift. The world's finest pieces of short fiction...

Queen of the Slush Pile

Charita Gil

is a writer from the Philippines. Writing is her passion and editing her professional job. She studied journalism, but she is writing fiction and poetry instead. Céline Dion and Thalia are her idols, and she is serious in being a French and Spanish bathroom singer. She is really an introvert, but many probably don't believe that. Her first-ever work of romantic fiction was published by "My Special Valentine" in 2011. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in "101 Words," "ARTPOST magazine," "The Brown Orient," "Exoplanet Magazine," "Flash Fiction Magazine," "Marias at Sampaguitas," and "The /tƐmz/ Review," which has recently nominated her story "Rosé" for the 2019 Pushcart Prize.
