The very first international book I'd read that had a Filipino main character was "Language of Love" (from the Love Stories YA series) and it was novel if a bit cliche. (Lea Salonga was mentioned! Which was awesome but also so obvious at the time haha.) <br /><br />I'm happy that there's more of Filipino culture in books available in the world. Thanks for the chance to share!Mina V.

I even tried making my first Filipino Dish this year, Chicken Adobo, which was a hit with my hubby!<br /><br />I am always on the lookout for Filipino authors to read. To date, I've read three novels by Filippina writer Jessica Hagedorn. http://www.jessicahagedorn.net/Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-31631656767458355522014-06-09T14:25:43.572-04:002014-06-09T14:25:43.572-04:00I LOVE this feature!
