Do you have a preference in language with the books you read?

My first language is Filipino, more specifically Tagalog, but as my family and I moved to Singapore at my tender age of 10, English has been more prominent in my everyday life. I can understand, speak, and read Tagalog in more casual settings but struggle to process in literature as it's "deeper" and above my comfortable reading level.

I've always wanted to finish a book in Tagalog though, so I picked up Bata Bata Pano Ka Ginawa! So far I didnt realise i was reading the Foreword until I was 2 pages in, and have asked my parents what are certain words twice lmao I'm a big mood reader so I haven't picked it up again but it's my personal challenge to finish it this year.

I really enjoyed it, devoured in a single afternoon after school, it was catching and absolutely not heavy to read. I still have to read the rest and I hope that they’re going to be as good as the first!
