Great list! Thank you for putting these together.
surprised there wasn't one tbh! was planning my local tbr for 2026, i'm hoping other people are looking into these as well. 😅
There's not a lot of historical PH book lists, I think. Makes me think about having a list for non-fic about pre-colonial Philippines 🤔. But that's cool that you're planning to include more local books! I'm hoping to do the same but for horror. I'll try to pick up something from this list as well. By the way, would Isang Harding Papel by Augie Rivera fit here? Adarna House used to have a bundle with that and Si Jhun-Jhun.
would love a precolonial nonfic list 🤩 yes i think so too, i saw that book in a lot of people's rec! i'll add this, thank you! also when making this list, a lot of them were missing or had duplicates so it was a much bigger task than i thought. 😅
this is a really wonderful list, thank you for compiling 💖
