Back on October 15, 2025, I dropped by Lost Books Cebu, the cozy little bookstore along Osmeña Boulevard. During my visit, I saw my husband’s book, The Fourth Loop Book, displayed on their shelf, and it was a simple but meaningful moment.
Even though it’s been almost two months since that day, I still appreciate seeing the book in a space that supports both local and independent writers. It’s nice knowing that the story is out there for readers to browse and discover.
