Alternative Alamat

I wasn't able to go to Komikon (local comic convention in Manila) over the weekend but thanks to @itstimeana and @minavesguerra, I still have a Komikon haul. Yay! Thank you, friends. I'm behind on reading Filipino comics and I'm looking forward to catching up on them.

#graphicnovel #comics

Good morning! This picture was from last night, still at Tweedle Book Cafe. The fancy floral teacup has hibiscus-infused hot chocolate by a shop in Cebu called The Chocolate Chamber.🌺☕ The cafe used to have a jasmine flavored one too, but that isn't available anymore.

@willreadforfeels, proof that I like TCC.😄

Texreader Lovely patterned tea cup. Sounds delish!! 7y

Chachic @Texreader Each of their teacups has a different design, I chose this one because it seemed fitting for the hot chocolate flavor I ordered.😄 7y

Good public libraries are rare in the Philippines, so I'm glad book cafes are becoming more common. While I have donated books to book drives for public school libraries, I also wanted to support Tweedle Book Cafe and have donated some of my physical copies to them in the past. All of them have these stamps at the back. I hope they're being enjoyed by other book lovers in the metro!

willreadforfeels Nice! I too accept donations on behalf of my cafe, if you are so inclined. :) 7y

Chachic @willreadforfeels Haha okay, will go through my shelves to see what I can pass on. Do you have genre preferences or any kind will do? 7y

willreadforfeels @Chachic: Yay! I need to beef up my YA collection, I think! You'll see when you're here. :) 7y

Chachic @willreadforfeels All rightie, will take note! But I think better if I send books through 2GO rather than bring them with me because that would be heavy haha. 7y

Chachic @bentchbites Dapat nag-comment ka rin sa thread na ito na willing to accept donations ka rin pala.😂 7y

bentchbites @Chachic haha! The heart is willing but the bookshelf is groaning na nang bongga, bes! :) Nabigla lang ako kanina kasi andaming books! 7y

Chachic @bentchbites Bes, takaw mata ka pala sa books! Haha ganyan din ako dati. Kaya nga ngayon doing the opposite naman. Sayang kasi naluluma lang. 7y

One of the bookshelves in Tweedle Book Cafe. They have two shelves filled with books from various genres. The patrons can read any of these titles while they're at the cafe.

Chachic @CoffeeCatsBooks Must have been custom made because it fits nicely into this wall! 7y

Leniverse I want to be overpowered by that stout! It looks super yummy! 😋 7y

Chachic @Leniverse I was a bit taken aback by the bitter chocolate taste but it grew on me. Would love to try the brand's other brews!🍺 7y

#bookanddinner at Tweedle Book Cafe featuring Alternative Alamat and Alamat Craft Brew, both the book and the beer are inspired by Philippine mythology. How awesome is that? Yummy salmon belly rice bowl with kimchi and egg in the background.

I'm not much of a beer drinker but how could I resist ordering Alamat Craft Brew's Bungisngis dark chocolate-flavored beer? It matches my book for today's #BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy. Alternative Alamat is a #fantasy anthology, inspired by Philippine mythology. Alamat means "legend" in Filipino. I've had my copy for a while now and will read it this month. What other fantasy books written by Filipino authors would you recommend?
