T'was the sounds my heart made while i was falling in line for MY first book signing..hahahas. Anyway, because this is an opportunity that rarely come by, I decided to buy several books for me and my friends (since there is as yet no Precious Pages in Cagayan de Oro and therefore so little chance for them to have it signed). Oh yeah! Hehehe And you know what? The experience really felt surreal and silly yet amazing. For the first time, my pocket book was signed  and I just hug one of my most favorite Filipino writers :) hehehe (another check on my bucket list).

Hmmm..I started reading tagalog pocketbooks(pbs for short) when I was in highschool. However, because of the melodrama theme, I stopped. It has just become so OA. I thought that all tagalog pbs are like that (hasty generalization mode here hehe). Good thing though, my bbff (bestest best friend forever) convinced me to try reading the Stallion Riding Club (SRC) series written by Sonia Francesca and Sofia. Since then, I became a fan. Their works really are interesting and fun. They made me rethink of my previous misconception about tagalog pbs over melodrama theme. Which is why, I decided to collect their works. And meeting them in person became a part of my bucket list.

Which is why, I really recommend that you try reading their books especially if you like anime, happy endings & not-so-melodrama theme :) And to help you with that, here is a list of  some of the titles/series written by Sonia Francesca I have copied from this site: http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php/Sonia_Francesca . 

Oh! By the way, the titles in blue are those which are in my collection and those which are underlined are my favorites :)
