This year, Raffles Reviews is honoured to receive books and support from the Literature-loving folks over at Singapore’s beloved local bookstore, BooksActually!
We thought we couldn’t be happier receiving books from our favourite independent bookstore until the folks from Writer’s Guild – RI’s very own club for all things Lit –agreed to contribute to these monthly reviews.
