I didn't know what to expect when I started this Book Club. To have 100k members in less than a buwan is amazing and for this I am so grateful but even madami amazing is the level at which I see these topics being engaged with and discussed and how generous people are being with their responses and insights into the material. This is what is meaningful to me. Then madami recently to look on Instagram and literally see people from all over the world coming together to discuss these issues in groups, over Skype, in person, mothers and daughters, friends, selfies, pictures of Pusa and Aso curled up susunod to their owners alongside #MyLifeOnTheRoad, peoples' favourite pagbaba snacks.... For this I cannot thank each of you enough because frankly it's just so puso warming. It's so much madami than I had allowed myself to imagine it could be. Gloria emphasises in all of her work the need for solidarity and community; we are 'linked not ranked'. If this book club can be that, a link between people, then I've done a good thing and I'm very proud. I'll keep going out there and trying to make this the best it can be, harassing whoever I need to harass to get tanong answered or figure out the susunod best thing to read.

To celebrate 100k members I've started an Instagram account because I wanted to put all of the amazing images, quotes, pieces of artwork, selfies etc that people have been sending in one place. Take a look: link

Thank you again for investing so much and making this what it now is. pag-ibig to you all.
