The Incident It started like any other Tuesday morning. The city of Houston was alive with the usual hum of traffic and the rhythm of early risers heading to their offices. But deep within the city’s largest tech company, Quantum Dynamics, something had shifted. Jenna Harris, a brilliant but introverted software engineer, had disappeared without a trace.

How to Read with Purpose. AI-Generated.
Reading is one of the most enriching activities a person can engage in. But not all reading is equal. There’s a difference between casually flipping through pages and reading with intent—reading with purpose.

Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid: An In-Depth Review
I'll be honest with you—when I first picked up this book, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. The cover was striking, the premise intriguing, but I had no idea I was about to dive headfirst into one of the most thought-provoking and uncomfortable reads I've encountered in recent years. And I mean uncomfortable in the best possible way.

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman: In-depth Review.
I'll be honest with you—when I first picked up this book, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. A mystery novel set in a retirement community? My initial thought was that it might be a bit too cozy, perhaps lacking the edge that makes a good crime thriller truly gripping. Boy, was I wrong. What I discovered between these pages was a masterfully crafted mystery that not only kept me guessing until the very end but also warmed my heart in ways I never anticipated.

Bookworms Are Leaders. AI-Generated.
In a world increasingly driven by information, ideas, and innovation, leadership is no longer solely about authority or charisma. Instead, it’s about vision, communication, decision-making, and the ability to connect with others. Interestingly, one of the most powerful tools for building these skills is not found in boardrooms or conferences, but in books. Reading, often seen as a solitary or leisure activity, is a cornerstone habit of great leaders. From historical figures like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill to modern icons like Elon Musk and Oprah Winfrey, reading has shaped minds that inspire others.

Modern Filipino Authors to Watch

Among them, Andrew Jalbuena Pasaporte stands out as an award-winning Filipino author whose voice ripples through the current of modern Philippine literature with urgency and soul.

Come On In...We're Hoping
I had no intention of writing this piece. Another semester is down; I have ongoing contracts, exhaustion, and my summer of scrounging for money to cover the bills I will have to handle. I know that there will be no real break for me until mid-June, and I am trying to enjoy any spare time without staring at a news crawl or wondering if Canada will ever have a team holding Lord Stanley’s finest silverware. And to save money, I have been using libraries, secondhand bookstores, and the occasional Livre-Service box (thank you, Montreal). One of the interesting things about those boxes is that I have often found things in them that could not be mistaken for a book: t-shirts, pens, pencils, highlighters, magazines, newspapers, videotapes (!), and even the occasional DVD. This past week, I found Merchant and Ivory’s “The Bostonians,” not a film that I would bother with, but it is physical media and the creation of a pair of filmmakers whom I admire. And then I made the mistake of bringing it home, opening up the case, and noting where that movie originated.
