The alternate title of this post is “The British Pop Culture Invasion.” 🙂 Ah, to make up for the lack of recommendations for the past few weeks, here are three books I downloaded with my subscription from Audible.

The Amorsolo Retrospective: Community Driven Amorsolo
I wasn’t really into paintings but my parents were. We had a couple of Amorsolo’s and Goya’s at home and they were, if I recall correctly, gifts. Behind one of the Goya’s, which was a portrait of my mom, she had a photo with him stuck on the canvas. So it’s pretty cool how art…

Nokia to launch “Comes with Music” soon?
