For writers and bibliophiles here in our country, April is a pretty important month because it’s actually National Literature Month! Since 2015, the month of April has been designated as such thanks to Proclamation No. 968 by then-President Benigno Aquino III. So if there’s a good time to celebrate the joys of writing and reading, this month is as good a time as any!
But given the pandemic, heading to your favorite bookstore to buy a new read is a lot easier said than done. So if you happen to be itching to get your hands on a new book, worry not because we’re here to tell you about bookstores on Instagram you can order from!
