Bakit? Life begins at 40 daw! But no, I don't fantasize him in THAT way.

Ay ayan nakita ko na naman name ko. Haha.I like Gaiman. Of course, I've only read ONE book (Stardust). So maybe my opinion doesn't really count yet. Let me read The Graveyard Book soon.
Angus: Hanggang ngayon nag-iisip pa rin ako ng YA book na pwede mo basahin. Pero hindi na ako mamimilit, feel ko one time you'll just pick one up on your own. Haha. :P You never know.

Ah ok. I've read the first chapters. Didn't like it though. Tsk.

hahahaha! Onga, YA is not for you. wag mo na ituloy basahin. baka awayin kita pag tinapos mo tapos 1-star-rating ibigay mo. LOL

Antayin mo na lang ang movie...

Grabe. Natakot naman ako sa awayin.:P
Sabi lang nya yan. Pinatawad nya ako sa Divergent. 5 stars sya, 1 star ako. Hiniram ko pa ang book sa kanya. Malamang nyang di na nya ako muling pahihiramin.
ahaha, Bennard, mabait tlg ako sa totoong buhay :)c KD, tingnan mo, db?
KD, papahiramin pa din kita shempre, para mas madami tayong mapag-usapan dahil sa "agree to disagree" books natin. hahaha
Angus: Basahin mo ang Harry Potter. Yon lang ang mare-recommend ko sa yo na librong Children's/YA. Di ka magsisisi.
Wala bang mga extra copies ng HP diyan? Hahaha. Pag-isipan ko muna, kapag medyo senile na ako dun na ako mag HP.
Angus wrote: "Wala bang mga extra copies ng HP diyan? Hahaha. Pag-isipan ko muna, kapag medyo senile na ako dun na ako mag HP."Haha pwede ako magpahiram. :P Unless you want to have your own copy. :D
Hmm. I might want to have my own copies. Tuwing nakikita ko nga yung treasure chest sa NBS natutuwa ako. Tapos naiisip ko, someday mapapasaakin din yun!
Angus wrote: ...Pag-isipan ko muna, kapag medyo senile na ako dun na ako mag HP." Aray! Parang me pinatatamaan ka. Haha.
Angus, HP isn't litfic. It's simply a great story written by a very creative woman. :)
Doc: Apir tayo diyan! Nakakatuwa kasi sila talaga. Hindi ko nga matanung-tanong kung magkano yun eh.Miss V: I didn't mean anything about that, hahaha. Pero ang mga bato-bato diyan sa langit...
Hoy, Angus. Book 1 pa lang ang nababasa ko sa HP. Walang kagatol-gatol na 5 STARS!!! Maganda. Inspired magsulat ng review at marami akong nakuhang votes har har. Napanood ko lahat ng movies at lahat gusto ko. Mayroon na akong BS copies ng Books 2 & 3. Kaso wala akong motivation to read them yet. Balak ko once book a year (parang Jane Austen, Hemingway, GG Marquez, Nabokov, John Steinbeck at Virginia Woolf ko) ko lang babasahin. Pero nag-skip ako last year 2011 dahil nabusy sa kakabasa ng kung anu-anong recommendations ng friends last November.
So, 2012 should include:
Book 2 - Harry Potter
Book 2 - LOTR
Nabokov - Pale Fire
Hemingway - For Whom the Bell Tolls
Woolf - The Waves
Austen - Persuasion (Tina's recommendation)
Marquez - Love in the Time of Cholera
Steinbeck - East of Eden
Isa-isa lang bawa't taon sa mga premyadong nobelista kasi baka maubos na at wala na akong babasahing maganda pag nag-retire ako har har.
Pale Fire! Good luck! Mukhang masakit sa ulo iyan. Ako yung 2012 ko nasa to-read shelf ko. Ayaw ko na silang ilista rito, hahaha.

I don't think it's bad! 8 books iyon, right? Plus yung treasure chest pa. Wala pa kasi akong balak magbasa ng HP kaya hindi ko siya priority. At wala naman talaga akong balak magbasa ng HP, hahaha, gusto ko lang ng treasure thingy. At siyempre kapag akin na iyon mapipilitan na akong basahin sila. What is incoherent?

Ano yung extra book? Maganda rin naman na meron kayo nyan eh...collection lang and for the future generation...mga anak, apo, etc hehe.
Hello po! I'm Jam.Kinagagalak ko po na makilala kayong lahat. =D
My favorite books are The Host, The Mortal Instruments, Hunger Games,and Night World Series. As you all could see I'm a big fan of YA books. My hobbies besides reading, are drawing, net surfing and doll photography.
hey all!i'm tish. i just joined goodreads last week. i still am getting used to the interface but i'm really enjoying so much of what i see. my reading taste leans more towards fiction of the romantic nature, fine, chick lit. haha! i also enjoy YA, classics and poetry. my favorite book is rostand's cyrano de bergerac. it is beautiful. :)
anyway, it's nice to see such an active group of filipinos who enjoy reading. looking forward to joining book discussions and meeting you guys. :)
Hi Jam! There are a lot of YA readers here, and they'd be glad to meet you.Hi Tish! You seem to have diverse reading choices. Poetry and chic lit? It's sexy, if you ask me.
Em: Oo nga eh, pero teka lang, saan ko naman kaya isisiksik yung treasure chest na iyon? At kailangan ko pa siyang kaladkarin pauwi kapag nabili na siya.
H, Ace: Yung manipis na book, parang book siya na ibinigay kay Hermione. Ay, hindi ko alam ang ipinagsasabi ko, haha.

Flipreads wrote: "Ace: ibig sabihin ata ni Angus ay kasama yung Beedle the Bard sa HP chest/box..."Ah ok. Di kasama yung book sa HP boxed set na treasure chest.
Hey :D Just joined today but I've been a member since 2010. I'm just 17 years old so I mostly read young adult books but besides that I enjoy fiction, fantasy, manga :D, young romance, konting classics, humor, chick lit, mystery and a little bit of other genres. I super love reading and I'm hoping na I could share my love with you guys :D I looove Jane Austen (she's my hero), Wendelin Van Draanen and other feel-good authors :DOh btw, I was hoping na I could get a lot of recommendations here :D Also hoping that I would meet more people too :)
