How Did You Get into Reading?
Every bookworm I encounter has a story to tell. Finding out how they started is always a heartwarming tale of discovery and exploration. But how come reading still seems to be an activity that very little people around us actively invest in? It’s as if picking up a book is a taboo act that should…

Trang, Where Have You Been?
As promised, I said I would write a whole post explaining what’s going on with my life and with the blog. First thing, I took some time off to think about rebranding Bookidote. It’s a bold move but as Bookidote continues to grow, I thought it would be more relevant to adapt a more simple…

The Perks of Co-Blogging
What up folks? I’ve been thinking about this for a while now and I thought it would be a nice subject to touch base on since it isn’t exactly something that you often see out there. What am I talking about? Co-blogging, of course! As you all might know, Bookidote is co-run by a gentleman…
What 2017 Taught Me
Trang’s here !! A new year has begun, at last ! And to honest, I was going to review The Diviners by Libba Bray but, I want to talk about something else. It’s a new year after all and during this whole year, I had the chance to reflect on a few things. I’m only…
