Seattle Adventures, Filipino American History Month, and New Releases!

Kumusta Bookmates!

I hope this newsletter finds you well! We just got back from an epic road trip and pop-up event in Seattle, and I can't wait to share all the exciting highlights with you!

Seattle Was Amazing! We had the most incredible time meeting the Seattle Filipino community during our pop-up. Huge thanks to Outsiders Comics for hosting us and to everyone who came out to support! The energy, love, and enthusiasm were unforgettable. Be sure to check out some photos from the event here!

Special shout-out to the Seattle Filipino community—your support and warmth made our time there extra special!
