		<title>RJ Rosales obituary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The editor of the Australian Filipina magazine asked if I would write an obituary for RJ Rosales. I only had his CV up to 2007, so you may notice that it&#8217;s light on the details after that. I hope I did him justice. You can find the original article here. RJ Rosales, who has died [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kill a fairy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many of my bookish friends have heard my stance on reading the back of the book first. On Twitter, people replied to me with such shock that we created a hashtag to refer to peeking at a book&#8217;s ending: #killafairy or #afairydies. After talking about it for so long, I&#8217;ve finally gone and set up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Haunted Heart by Tania Donald</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was supposed to write a review for BOOKSELLER+PUBLISHER blog, Fancy Goods, but they needed a review on short notice so I made it into the print edition. My review of Haunted Heart by Tania Donald is on page 27 of the June 2011 issue of BOOKSELLER+PUBLISHER. My verdict: It won&#8217;t shock readers familiar with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve previously posted this article, but now it&#8217;s up at the Australian Filipina. &#8216;When are you having kids?&#8217; It’s a refrain that many Filipinas are familiar with. Before the ink dries on your marriage contract, family and friends are already anticipating the most rewarding – and most difficult – time in your life. But having [...]]]></description>

		<title>National Novel Writing Month</title>
		<description><![CDATA[NaNoWriMo is upon us once again, and this year I&#8217;m finally biting the bullet. Briefly, this is what NaNo is all about: National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. If you want [...]]]></description>

		<title>All I want for Christmas is … an ebook reader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was an article I wrote for the ARRA newsletter last year. A lot of the information is outdated and there are now a lot more devices in the market, so I&#8217;m posting it here as an archive rather than at Book Thingo. A couple of months ago, Amazon finally made the Kindle available to [...]]]></description>
