Hi everyone!!!I'm new here to this group and I LOVE to read!!!
I'm a bookaholic...you should see all my receipts from fully booked...LOL
But I also have a book blog..I would love for people to check it out
http://myteatimeisbooktime.blogspot.com/
If I can get enough followers I would love to do book contests...maybe book giveaways...so please come. (I subscribe to all these book clubs that have contests, but they're mostly N. America based and that doesn't help when I live in the Philippines now)
So anyways, I hope to have many fun book discussions here...HAPPY readings!!!

Hi there Jennifer! I'm a book-aholic too!! nice blog there...Welcome to the Filipino groups...
I'm wonderin'... what's your job? You must have spent a lot on books, especially those brand new ones you got from Fullybooked... If I reckon I only bought one or two books from that bookstore; and any newly released is pricey... Naturally I always go to Booksale for my daily fix of fiction... kuripot tayo ehh and just to make ends meet... but I'm always thrilled at the prospect of finding gems in that store for a cheap price... I'm always exhilarated when such moments come... well i think I said a lot without introducing myself first... I'm jzhunagev (what a wierd name huh!) your friendly/fiendly alien sub-moderator in this group... feel free to join any of our discussions... as always the case in any Filipino house... feel at home here...
My warm regards and happy reading... ^_^
Welcome :)Jzhunagev too my words so...
Make yourself at home! :P Join in with the book discussions =]
Oh yeah just realised, do you speak Filipino? You didn't introduce yourself in the "Ipakilala niyo and sarili niyo" section, which means "Introduce yourself."

I'm just a student...still bumming at home with my mom & step-dad (actually I moved here to the philippines to live with them, b/c I'm a momma's little girl & missed her...they retired here a few years back)...but I find the books cheaper here in the Philippines...I hardly bought books in San Diego...but thanks for the welcome!!!

@Jennifer,
Try going into any BookSale branches mostly found in SM Malls.. books there is way too cheaper... though some are second hand but still i love going there just for the thrill of finding books...
yes your quite right that books here in the Phil. are more cheap... that's because books for that matter have no shipment tax or whatever... I think our country is a signatory in the Florence convention which states that there will no exportation tax on books...

Re tax free importation of books.
It's true that the Ph did sign on the Florence Agreement back in 1979. But the Bureau of Customs for the past months are actually putting on tax on imported books, blame it on Twilight?. See link, Here and here.
The good news is that The Department of Finance suspended this order due to issues raised by Unesco and other such organizations.
... did BOC thought they could get away with it, how stupid.

It's because election is nearing and officials plot devious ways just to milk tax payers so that they can pocket money to fund their election to other government post...
