Hi, guys! How are you? Exactly one week ago was International Book Giving Day (a day to give children new, used, or borrowed books!) and I know many of you book lovers celebrated. I celebrated by giving my neighbors' kids copies of But That Won't Wake Me Up!, written by Annie and Anelka Lumbao and illustrated by Liza Flores (Adarna House, 2011). Please, please share how YOU celebrated!
To participate in the International Book Giving Day Blog Hop:

2. For those with a blog, write a post describing how you celebrated International Book Giving Day. A short and sweet post (e.g. a photo of you or your child giving away a book) is welcome!

For me, the best thing about blogging is the people - the community I am a part of. It's a joy interacting with other lovers of kidlit and YA lit, and I have some truly amazing friendships because of the kidlitosphere/YA blogosphere. I've been able to meet many book bloggers in the Philippines, and last month in Singapore, I met Liyana of Liyanaland. We were so happy to be spazzing over YA authors and K-pop together IN PERSON. We thought, why not do this with other kidlit and YA lit bloggers? Why not have an INTERNATIONAL book bloggers meetup? If you're interested in getting together with kidlit and YA lit bloggers from all over the world, please click here to fill out Liyana's survey. Help us plan this international meetup. I think we can really make this happen!

Every Sunday through the In My Mailbox meme, YA book bloggers share the books they recently bought, borrowed, or received!
Friday night, Joyce Bautista, trade manager of Scholastic Philippines, and Roselle Masirag, education and trade manager of Scholastic Philippines, hosted a dinner for Filipino book bloggers. 
I was glad to meet some Filipino book bloggers for the first time, namely: Ronald of RonReads, Leia of Bitter Pills & Breathing Spaces, and Meann of New Worlds.
Of course, I was glad to see my blog friends again! <3

*I'm interviewed by Charlotte at The Book on the Hill about blogging from the Philippines.
Charlotte is in Paris and she has the best job in the world. She works for a publisher and reads children's books all day long. She reviews the books, and based on her reviews, the publisher decides if they will buy the rights to the books and publish them in France. Wow!
*I interviewed the gorgeous and talented Fereshteh Najafi, an Iranian children's book illustrator, at Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind!

Wow. The big reveal is today. I can't believe it.
My sooper sekrit project is a second blog called Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind. Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind is a children's and young adult blog about books set in Asia and books with Asian characters (regardless of where they are published and whether or not their authors and illustrators are Asian), and Asian authors and illustrators (no matter where they are in the world). I started the blog because of the sheer pleasure I get from such books and from getting to know such authors and illustrators.
Also, there aren't enough blogs highlighting Asian children's and young adult books. This needs to change.
I am not going to abandon Into the Wardrobe. Into the Wardrobe will remain my more general children's and young adult book blog.
I'm launching the new blog with interviews of two Filipino writers: Perpilili Vivienne Tiongson, the author of "I Hate My Mother!", and Candy Gourlay, the author of Tall Story. Coming soon: blog posts on the children's and young adult book scene in Hong Kong and South Korea! (I've also cross-posted a lot of relevant Into the Wardrobe posts over at the new blog.)
Click HERE to check out Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind! I hope you all like it. =D
P.S. Carlo Angelo Canlas ([email protected]) designed both my blogs. Isn't he awesome? =D

I have never been on any kind of "best" list, so I am really happy that Into the Wardrobe is part of the 100 Best Book Blogs for Kids, Tweens, and Teens. I'm especially thrilled about Into the Wardrobe being categorized under "Well-Rounded Book Blogs." Yay! =D
Thank you, Online School. I am glad there are people who enjoy reading this blog and find it helpful.
