I'm uh quite new here. okay so here goes.Hi My name is Louie short for Louella. I hate my name so please do call me Louie. I am 19 taking up Political Science in the University of the East.
I obviously love to read. My genres are fiction, fantasy, and YA. I spend most of my time if not reading about politics, I read about the books that I like in my kindle since I cannot afford to buy them all. I also spend most of my time hanging out in the bookstore and the library. I'm a sucker for books I know.
I seldom read tagalog novels but I love some of the Filipino authors especially Ambeth Ocampo. I love his writings. He amuse me so much and because I love Rizal.
I can't wait to meet you all! :)

Hello to all! :)The real name is Cory, i joined goodreads last year but i've been actively updating my status just early this year.
It's really nice to know that there's a lot of pinoy readers here to share our thoughts with and to read reviews/recommendations about books. :)
Hmm, as for the type of books that I usually read, I've always been influenced by the films that I watch such as classics,sci-fi, general & historical fictions, biographies, romantic comedies/military romance & documentaries..not to mention every book which depicts the existence of God.
Sa mga vampire diaries/twilight fans dito, please please don't hate me..:) i'm really not fond of reading/watching these kinds of masterpiece..Yun lang talaga ang hindi ko binabasa but generally I enjoy reading any kinds of literature. Kahit magazine or blogs pa yan, fascinated ako jan. :)
I started this addiction when I was in high school. I usually spend my time inside our library..reading Harry Potter series and classic books..Our school's library is one of the best in the Philippines..i guess :) But during my high school years, we were only allowed to borrow and read the books from the Secondary Department, I had to ask for a 'Permission Note' from our librarian so that I can be able to look for/borrow books from the College department. At that time, most of my 'handful' savings goes to books sale for lesser prices kaya yung mga gusto kong books wala ako...kasi mas mahal yun! :))
But when I got to earn money, I see to it that I will not deprive myself from having the chance to read more books.
I'm currently connected to a WebDev company and a part time prof in my alma matter. I'm also taking up my postgraduate studies. So, in between these roles, I always carry a book to read or get connected in the net to read reviews and recommendations :)
That's all, thanks for reading my introductory piece..haha..Have a nice day everyone! :)
Wow, nakakatuwa ka naman Shinmaum/Cory. So diverse! At magkakapit-bisig tayo regarding Twilight, hehehe. Yun nga lang, hindi ako fan ng Harry Potter. Anyways, welcome to the group and have fun! :D
Hi H :D The art of war for women by Chin-Ning Chu...I just finished a book by Khaled Hosseini. That's the most recent novel that i read...:)

Welcome!
Ahahah! Kawawa naman mga twilight fans, akala ko dun sa pagkakapit-bisig eh mala-People Power eh.. :)) Kung ang pagbabasehan lang naman ay ang pagiging mahusay na manunulat ni meyer, i guess hands down na din ako kasi nga madaming tumangkilik eh so magaling talaga sya,..nagkataon lang ayoko ng concept...Maraming Salamat Angus :)
Hi Aaron, yes, i will still call it a masterpiece cause there's a lot of people who can appreciate it :) Thank you :)Hi Charles! Thank you..same here I'm glad we have TFG :)

@LS I laughed at the "sparkle" thing... :)) Anyways, I'd love to read the Hunger Games, but unfortunately it's already sold out (at least in the bookstores that i've been)..That's actually on my wishlist last Christmas but the guy who picked my name couldn't find a copy either..so he gave me the Hunger Games Companion instead..@H Yes! That's Me :)
Hello Flipreads & Rollie :)@Flipreads, do you think they have stocks @ MOA? Last time i checked, out of stock sila that's why I ended up buying other books..
Subukan mong tawagan sila sa 556-0264 or itweet. Hindi ako nagtratrabaho para sa kanila (joke namin baka si fullybook). Pero yung sa Eastwood at Greenhills, mukhang may stock pa naman.Pero kung may kailangan ka sa Flipreads.com, ako yung tanungin mo :P
Pero honestly, kung tataguin mo yung Hunger Games na libro, dapat mapili ka rin.Binili ko yung bundle sa NBS last year. Medyo mura siya pero pangit yung design. Parang print-on-demand yung output: manipis yung cover, plain lang yung text and layout.

But books 2 & 3 lang ata nakita ko dun. Daan ako tomorrow, sabihan kita kung kumpleto nila. :)
