Trese: Case 1: At the Intersection of Balete and 13th Street | 
pick#OctoberXFiles Day 12: Alexandra Trese is the antithesis of the #EvilWoman as she appears invulnerable and incorruptible. As the blurb goes: “When crime takes a turn for the weird, the police call Trese.” Reading these graphic novels is akin to opening your daily newspaper with all the reports of murder, mayhem, corruption, prostitution, drug cartels – except tinged with the supernatural.

Day 9 of #BuwanNgMgaAkdangPinoy is a graphic novel I first discovered through my baby sister. Her collection is still limited to the books but if she's anything like me, I'll find a bunch of Trese merch lying around the house in no time. 🤗
Behold! My #MIBF #bookhaul, arranged in a #booktower! I suffered through crowds, rude people trying to cut in line, and cashier queues that were Sisyphean in their scope, but it was SO worth it - not least because I had friends along for the ride ;D. This year I wanted to focus more on Filipino publications and graphic novels, and I think I succeeded in that :D.
