Reading something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue
I hope the weekend went well for everyone.
As I updated last Friday, I am giving away 2 sets of Ambeth Ocampo’s Looking Back books (to the top two names that come up on the list randomizer), thanks to an additional set pledged by Anvil Publishing.
Each set contains the books Looking Back, Dirty Dancing and Death by Garrote.
Squee — Ambeth Ocampo featured my Looking Back post on his Facebook page (special thanks to Jzhun and Marie for pointing it out to me). That made my day, so I’m sharing some love! Here’s a new giveaway: a three-book set of Looking Back (volumes 1-3: Looking Back, Dirty Dancing, Death by Garrote), which I reviewed in my last post.
UPDATE: Am now giving away two sets on Sunday, thank you Anvil Publishing (through Ms. Gwenn Galvez) for pledging another set!
Each book is a compilation of historian Ambeth Ocampo’s essays on Philippine history and culture — some from his out of print books Looking Back, Aguinaldo’s Breakfast, Mabini’s Ghost, and Luna’s Mustache, and some recent selections from his weekly newspaper column.
