Bucket List To Love
Bucket List To Love | C. P. Santi
9 posts | 3 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
Aya Contreras is thrilled to be studying in the land of sakura and sushi. Tokyo is a fascinating city to live invending machines, cosplayers, karaoke boxes, and bright, colorful conbinis on every corner. And the architectural design program shes in is everything she dreamed it to be.
The only problem? Her tutor doesn't seem to like her.
Well, she doesn't like him very much either. Sure, Ryohei Mori is talented, and there's no denying he's hot. But he's also a surly, bossy know-it-all who eats too many cookies.
Another annoying thing about him is he's nosy. And when he stumbles upon the crazy bucket list Aya's sisters forced on her, he teases her mercilessly about it.
But when their professor pairs them up for a design competition, things get . . . interesting. Fueled by beer and a whole lot of cookies, can Aya and Ryo cross out some items on her bucket list without killing each other? Or will they realize there's much more to each other than they'd originally thought?

Adorable NA Romance. Fillipina protagonist is dumped by long-term boyfriend, goes on a study abroad year to Tokyo, gets involved with a student tutor, they do cute things together. Interspersed with local lingo and cultural referents. Super refreshing after reading the same West-set novels, contemporary or historical (which almost always means a Regency now 😴) #romantsy

#ForFontsSake for #AndItsAugust: I really love the calligraphy in this book cover designed by Filipino artist Clarissa Ines. I think it adds a bit of whimsy to the overall picture. I even took a screenshot on the Kindle app on my phone instead of taking a pic of my Kindle so you guys can see this in full color.😂

alanacristin An interracial Tokyo love story in which the dude's Japanese? My life in a book! With a cute cover 😂 thanks for bringing it to my attention! 7y
Chachic @alanacristin Yes! Heroine is Filipino and hero is Japanese. The author studied in Japan so it's kind of a reflection of her experience there. I hope you enjoy reading it, the ebook is available on Amazon.😊 7y
alanacristin @Chachic excellent! I make a habit of reading books people write after living in Japan, so this is right in my wheelhouse 😄 thanks again! 7y
Chachic @alanacristin You're more than welcome! If you're interested in reading more Filipino romance, I can give more recs.😄 7y

The heroine of this Filipino romance takes up further studies in Japan. In one of the scenes, she tries out honey toast for the first time:

"It was definitely more than just bread with ice cream on top. The soft, warm bread, with the edges slightly toasted, combined with the saltiness of the butter and the sweetness of vanilla ice cream and honey, packed a satisfying punch."

Taking advantage of the hours spent at the hair salon to read this romance written by a Filipino author, and set in Japan. Two architect students are assigned to work together and sparks fly. Again, this gorgeous book cover was designed by Filipino artist Clarissa Ines.

bentchbites Just finished this and now i completely get your comment on my MS about 'a stronger sense of place'. Ang strong ng Japan feels nito! 😍😍😍 7y
Chachic @bentchbites Diba bes, mas distinct yung setting dito? Kaya mo rin yan gawin pero set in Singapore.😊 My favorite romance books with a strong sense of place are the ones written by Laura Florand! Try mo din yun. The first in her Chocolate series is 7y
Chachic @bentchbites Or you can start with her Provence series muna, the first is 7y

#bookanddinner! Not sure if you can see it clearly but C.P. Santi's latest book has such a beautiful cover, designed by Filipino artist Clarissa Ines. It's set in Japan and I think the setting is captured well by the cover. Watermelon salad (arugula, lettuce, kesong puti, pili nuts) and fresh dalandan juice were delicious.

My phone said it was time for bed, but hoho, I'm starting this tonight and I'll probably be up a few more hours. #funemployedproblems. Anyway, these are the covers for the Amazon edition and the Anvil Print edition respectively. I can't decide which one i love better because they're both pretty! :) #romanceclass #romantsy

Chachic I prefer the ebook edition with the cover designed by Clarissa Ines. It's so pretty! 💖 7y
bentchbites @Chachic the ebook is 'cleaner' and more vibrant but the print edition has manga feels and i still can't decide! Hah. 7y
Chachic Ahh manga feels hehe I've never read manga kasi 7y
bentchbites @Chachic i'm only knowledgeable on the 90's magical girls ones (sailormoon, rayearth...) so my manga game is not strong. Haha 7y
