Ayoko na.. I give up. What's the point? 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Ayoko na..."

Na-feel mo na rin ba ’to tuwing nahihirapan ka?

When things are going great, it’s so easy to feel motivated and energized! Tuloy-tuloy ‘yung momentum. It feels great.

But when things are hard—ano na?

It’s so easy to just quit and give up.

Minsan nga, di mo na rin nakikita ‘yung point ng ginagawa mo, di ba?

“Bakit ko ba ginagawa ‘to? Bakit ko ba pinapahirapan sarili ko?”

And I realized, this is something that never goes away entirely.

‘Yung phase of doubt, struggle, and feeling lost.

People think I’ve got it all together kasi what they see are what’s online— the pitches, the PR mentions, the content.

What they don’t see are the behind-the-scenes of a startup like ours who’s trying to innovate and disrupt the book industry: the struggles of scaling up, launching new products, figuring out the right business model, managing diverse team members, etc.

Mabigat. Magastos.

If we were doing this just for the money, jusko. We could have chosen any other type of business na lang sana. 😅

But what we’re trying to do at BookSpine is to give books a second chance while sending you the perfect reads for you.

Why We Do What We Do

(Check mo na rin our updated website, book bestie, pinag-puyatan ko yan! Haha check www.bookspine.ph to know more about what we do now.)

BookSpine is a circular economy platform that gives books a second life by connecting them with readers all over the Philippines—especially those without a nearby bookstore.

We make it simple for readers to discover books that resonate with them, without the hassle of searching.

Whether you’re new to reading, exploring new genres, or looking for books with purpose, our bundles are tailored to suit your journey and delivered to your doorstep.

Did you know? At least 320 million books end up in landfills per year.

And even those that don’t, they still get wasted because hindi nabibigay sa tamang tao.

The value of books is in their content. Maraming books ang napublish long ago that still contain valuable wisdom but are no longer being sold in bookstores.

Minsan rin, ‘yung libro na hindi para sa’yo turns out to be exactly what someone else was looking for.

Why Choose BookSpine?

1️⃣ Effortless Book Discovery
Say goodbye to decision fatigue! Di mo na kailangan mag-halughog sa maraming bookshelves. Just share your preferences, and we’ll handpick curated bundles tailored to you—delivered straight to your doorstep, wherever you are in the Philippines.

2️⃣ Explore New Perspectives
Go beyond mainstream titles and dive into diverse genres, rare finds, and hidden gems. Each bundle is designed to broaden your reading journey and help you discover new titles–lalo na ung mga wala na sa mainstream pero sobrang valuable pa rin.

3️⃣ Meaningful Impact
By choosing pre-loved books, you rediscover wisdom from unique titles while supporting a sustainable circular economy. Plus, every purchase helps fund children’s literacy through the Read2Achieve Foundation.

How You Can Help

Madalas gusto ko na lang itigil ito—kasi di ko alam if we are still providing value. Minsan iniisip ko if worth it pa ba.

Pero tuwing nakakabasa ako ng reviews from customers who buy on our TikTok Shop or Shopee, nabubuhayan ako ng loob. Lalo na ‘yung mga nagsasabi how much the books have helped them.

Pati na rin when we conducted the webinar last Nov 5 (we’ll upload the recording soon), when we got to engage with our readers.

So ikaw, favor naman.
