5 Pinoy Fantasy Books To Start Your Year Right | Booktube Philippines

[@christianmaigue3631]

Hi Krisha. I got excited when I saw the video's title. I have 3 of the 5 books on the list. If I may, I'd like to suggest additional books, but there are a lot more good books out there. They are: a. The Mythology Class by Arnold Arre (and its ongoing sequel The Children of Bathala series) b. Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat by Arnold Arre c. Tabi Po series by Mervin Malonzo d. Skyworld series by Mervin Ignacio and Ian Sta. Maria e. The Black Bestiary: An Alejandro Pardo Compendium by Budjette Tan, David Hontiveros, Kajo Baldisimo, Bow Guerrero and Mervin Malonzo f. Janus Silang series by Edgar Calabia Samar (which you already spoke about on another video) g. Naermyth series by Karen Francisco h. Waking the Dead and Other Stories by Yvette Tan A big shoutout to the Pinoy indie komiks creators out there who have been exploring our myths and legends, and incorporating them in their stories. A lot of the books that I mentioned are graphic novels. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for this list 🙂 I've been trying to find book one of naermyth for ages! Also agree--- we have so much graphic novels! Arnold Arre has def been on my list too 💕💕💕

i'm so intrigued by A Bottle of Storm Clouds but it's virtually out of stock EVERYWHERE 😭

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

Huhu I just realized na their publisher went out of business na :(

[@AnneVallega]

I hope you create more booktube videos, we need more of this in the Philippines to encourage more Filipinos to read books and discover why we booknerds love it!

[@yannsiee]

fantasy filipino books are definitely something we need to see more often! our publishers need to step up

[@livebieylive8496]

more local book topic pls

[@WinaPuangco]

Hehehe yesss all of Eliza's books are just amazing!!!!!! :) Also huhu the reason why A Bottle of Storm Clouds is so rare nowadays is because the publishing house (Visprint) closed. :( Salamangka 2 looks so good!!!! ALSO ummm ang gwapo ni Lapu Lapu sa Maktan 1521?? Definitely adding Salamangka and Maktan to my TBR! Have you read Dead Balagtas? :) It's available in NBS and it's just!!!! SO GOOD. It deals with pre-Hispanic Filipino lore/imagery but with modern narratives. I really think you would enjoy it!!!

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

Oooof, oo nga no. Just remembered na Visprint was no longer in business. That's so sad. :( HAHAHA I can't with your gwapo si Lapu-Lapu hahahaha but yes, Maktan 1521 and Salamangka both are really good! I hope you find copies soon :)

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

I haven't read Dead Balagtas! Masearch nga.....

[@TheMichaelsuazo13]

[@sairavilamil4062]

I really love the way you talk... Mas mafocus paman nuon kos pagstorya nimo kesa sa mga books...ahahahaha... keep uploading videos sweetie...

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

daghang salamat! 💕

[@jumpinjoint]

do you know of any fantasy novels about bakunawa or other filipino moon myths?

[@coly15]

yess i needed more books by Filipino authors in my life so this video was perfect to watch! 😄 a bottle of storm clouds is a book I've never heard of but i love speculative fiction so I'm excited to check it out! Especially since I haven't read that many fantasy and speculative fiction books written by Filipino authors. Interim goddess of love sounds right up my alley! When I heard "student of psychology", I just got even more excited since I'm currently in a psychology class😄 thank you so much for these recs! 💕

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

yay I hope you enjoy these books!!

[@oule4125]

I love it

[@leozar69]

[@khonie]

Adding A Bottle of Storm Clouds, Salamangka, and Maktan 1521 to my TBR (and looking for) list hahaha Thanks for the recommendations!!

[@thirdworldbooknerd]

yay sure thing pating!

[@christianmaigue3631]

Hey Krisha. Update lang. Book 1 of Naermyth is now available. Na-reprint siya ni Avenida Books, which is Visprint reincarnated. 😆

[@Caerulean]

Aspiring Filipino author here in the faaaar future. lol 😅I really wish Filipino-authored (fantasy) books were more accessible.

[@jeromelim8852]

collectors item yung maktan 1521 and salamanca vol 1/vol 2, ang issue lang sa maktan1521 madaling magkalasoglasog yung book at madaling mataggal yung mga page, same issue siya ng after lambana at tabi po series.

[@thirdworldbooknerd]
