[Mabelle]

hi i'm mabelle...

i believe i am one of you who love to read books.

i started loving books when i was in grade 3, with nancy drew...

now, i read everything and anything under the sun as long as it catches and holds my attention...

I've heard so much of this Ken Follett. I haven..."

Hi Mabelle,

I haven't read that one yet. I am more into historical books right now. I used to love reading historical romances, but got tired of the plot. I still read some every now and then though.

Ken Follet is great, you just need to have patience as his stories are long. I've read "the Third Twin" and I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed "Pillars of the Earth".

I also liked "Fall of Giants" the story is set during the first world war. I loved how he developed the characters. I'll try reading "Hornet's Flight" next...

Thanks for the recommendation!

[Maia]

Ycel: I've read Ken Follett's Third Twin and I did not like it as much as I liked his historical fiction. I'll try Hornet's Flight and Ender's Game. I am currently reading YA books, just to pass the time while waiting for the last installment of the Millenium Series.
Tin: I'll try Ender's game, but I'll start it on my rest day as I also lose sleep over books and I can't afford to miss work kc di n nman ako naka2log! Hehehehe.
Jalyn: Twilight is fine, if you just want to pass the time, it is very readable, but the premise, like Grey is ridicolous! If asked to choose, I'd rather read Twilight than Grey, I was not even able to finish the second Grey book. And I had to plod through the first book.

HI, Janika

I know how you feel. I also joined the group since my friends do not read and most of the time, I get frustrated as nobody shares my frustration with the ending of the books I've just read.

Like the ending for "Divergent", I almost threw my Kindle when I read the last lines!!!

I love my Kindle but I miss reading "real" books. The upside is, I can download multiple books at a time for free!

[Lynai]

Andaming newbies! Welcome everyone! :)

[Questian]

@shyshy: I havent really had a conversation sa knya, and the only book i read from her is the Winydam Legacy. i like her coz, her way of writing stuck on my mind. The convesation between Marcus and Duchess, was really nice(not sure if that is the name of the charcters of the book). But it was reqally really nice.

Hi mabelle!


WElcome to the group!! hope you can join the convesations!!

[Mabelle]

tnx for the warm welcome...

i hope i can still follow the discussions in the following days... magpapasukan na kasi..

anyway, how many ender's game books are there?

[Questian]

^you shoukld ask the rest of the group, i' more on the romance reader..the most recent YA book that i have read is Legend by Marie Lu... ithink the guys are going to watch the movie though... hehehhee

[LS]

^ Four. And a couple of in-between (whaja call them?) books. (Source)

[Questian]

^i think they are called side story....

[Mabelle]

ah, may 8 ako kasing ender's game dito... epub nga lang.. kaya dun sa interesado na magkakopya, pwede ko i-share...

matagal pa naman ang movie... though may similarity sila ng hunger games. parehas bata...

[Mabelle]

@Maia: since you mentioned ken follet, i found out that i have his 3 ebooks. pillars of the earth, fall of giants and winter of the world. which one will you recommend for me to read first?

[Ranee]

Di ako expert mabelle, pero parang 8 nga minus the side stories. Pero kasi nahati sa Ender's saga and the Shadow series, to ay kung tama ang tanda ko sa explanation ni rollie.

[Mabelle]

ok na ranee. check ko rin siya dito sa goodreads. 9 books pala, kasama na ender saga at shadows.. na confuse lang din kasi ako dahil dito sa copies ko, lahat sila nagsisimula sa ender's game...

[Gabbie]

Hey guys, I'm Gabbie :)
I'm currently in college and I definitely have a love for books. I've always loved reading but its only been recently that I actually started collecting books. Puro e-books and fanfics lang kasi ako before lol. Anyway, I'm slowly but surely building my 'library'. I especially have a love (more like addiction lol) for buying used books for super low prices. I'm often hunting 'em down online or going through shelves at Book Sale or these little shops hidden around Cubao x. I've yet to try at Recto (I hear there's a lot of people selling used books there) and I really really wanna go soon. Haha. Anyway, I joined this group because other than collecting books, I also love to talk about them! I can go on and on and on about a particular book if I like it haha :)
Oh yeah, I usually read ya but not all the time. I like paranormal, fantasy and zombie books best but I like other genres too like contemporary, romance etc. :)

Hi, Mabelle!

I first read "pillars of the earth" it has a sequel, but you don't have to read it as the sequel is set 100 years after the original story.
Plus "Pillars of the Earth" is so much better that the sequel.

As for the other two, they are part of the Millennium Series.
The first one is Fall of Giants then Winter of the World.

It's about how the characters lived and help shape world war I and world war II.

I hope you enjoy them!

[Abi]

Hi! I'm Jash. I thought of joining this group because it was suggested on my homepage. (Whoot!) Anyway, I'm a Filipino reader-writer. I love to read and (attempt to) write books.

[Questian]

HI gabbie, hi jash!!!


welcome to the group!!!

[Juan]

hello fellow newbies! welcome!

[Angus]

Hello everyone!

Hi Janika, you found the right place! And we'd love to see you in the discussions.

Hi Baizam, sige lang, patulan na si Shakespeare. Ako rin malapit-lapit na.

Hi Shyshy, don't be shy ha? Hindi ko pa love si Christian Grey eh, pero kung si Ian Somerhalder ang gaganap sa film adaptation, mamahalin ko na siya.

Hi Mabelle, nung grade 3 ako yung mga Nido fairy tales yung pinapatulan ko. Naabutan mo ba ang mga iyon?

Hi Gabbie, marami ring mahilig sa Book Sale dito. Have you seen the Book Sale thread? Gusto ko ring i-explore ang Recto, kaso malayo at mainit.

Hi Jash, what do you like to write about? Are you currently attempting to write a book?

[Shyshy]

Angus: oh thats too bad. i love Christian Grey talaga and i really wished Ian would play his part.kaso i heard c Alex na ang gaganap.ung sa I am Number4.i dont know if confirm na bah..

btw,d ako shy.ewan ko na sa mother dear ko.nkapa ironic..nyayayay

[Angus]

Shy, sabi nga rin ng friend ko na yung actor na yun na nga raw. Hay. Si Ian na lang kasi. May experience na rin naman siya sa pagpapakita ng katawan, hahaha!

[Shyshy]

@Angus:kaya nga.depressing noh?kawawa naman c Ian.excited pa naman xa na makuha ang Christian Grey base sa tweets nya.. :-(

pls wag lang sana c Kristen Stewart ang Anna..parang OA.

[Ycel]

Angus: Why the eagerness to see Fifty Shades translated into film? Seriously…(view spoiler)[every other scene will be a porking scene. Eeeek. (hide spoiler)]

And because I am on full on Christian Grey trolling mode…
(view spoiler)[

(hide spoiler)]
*exits, er, runs for dear life*

[Angus]

Ycel: Because I heard it will be directed by Gus van Sant and he's my fave director. I nearly popped my eyes out when I found out, because van Sant is gold and Fifty Shades is ... gray. :P

[D]

hey everyone! my name is david and i'm new to the group. I am also a newly published author! what's my book about? It's the story of a guy who gets on the MRT at North Ave. He is on the way to Ayala to meet the love of his life and during the trip, he begins to reminisce. From his recollections, you begin to understand his story, his relationship with the girl he is going to meet, and the reason why he was meeting her that day in Ayala. for those of you who want to know more about it, go to http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00COQT6NU/r.... you can either buy the book or preview it first then buy based on how much you liked the first few chapters. It's also on goodreads --> thanks! :D

[Bennard]

Ycel: I want to commend you for your use of the word "porking." Made my day.:p

[Ranee]

Alex As Christian... Hmmm, di naman pork, lean meat naman, (view spoiler)[ checks, abs, intact, matigas, hahahahaha (hide spoiler)]

Weird lang kasi message ng fifty shades, ideal relationship na ngayon ay S and M? So kung totohanin, willing na ba ang new generation women sa this type of submissiveness?

[Angus]

I have no idea what the book is about aside from the kinky stuff. So, comments after The Show. ;)

[Louize]

Last year, during the ReaderCon, Angus described Fifty Shades as "Ay naku Ms. Louize! Here, there, and every where lang." with prompt dismissing wave of his hands.

Now, nag-evolve ang description -(view spoiler)["Porking here, there, and every where lang." (hide spoiler)] LOL

Thank you, Ycel! :)

[Angus]

Mommy L: Hahaha. People their minds. A lot. :-*

[Angus]

*people change their minds.

Ano ba iyan? Aligaga kasi eh. :D

[Louize]

Angus wrote: "Mommy L: Hahaha. People their minds. A lot. :-*"

I think I should be running next, *following Ycel on her escape.*

[Ycel]

And all the while I expected to be stoned...

My last word on the subject is (view spoiler)[vanilla is good. (hide spoiler)]

[Mabelle]

Hey, Angus, naabutan ko yung nido fairy tales kaso di ko matandaan kung what grade ako nun..

Shy, di ka nag-iisa. Like ko din si Christian Grey... Although di ko ma-imagine kung anong gagawin nila sa movie adaptation. I think there will be no problem with the guy. Kahit sino pwede.. Just imagine the girl who will portray steele.. (gosh! di ko ma-imagine talaga.. for adults only ang rating..)

[Jr]

Hullo, guys. As you can see, my name's JR. Student, but of legal age. Ha! I like classics, mystery, law thrillers, YA, biographies, I'd read anything actually. I've read quite a few books, meaning to read lots more. What's up?

[Rincess]

Hey Jr! Yeah, couldn't help greet because of the suite. Looks great on you, bud! XD What's up? Are you studying in college? Oh, and it'd be awesome if you could share your fav books or something. I'm int, ya know =))

[Jr]

Hahaha! Well, suite's comfy and all. Yup, incoming 3rd year BA Organizational Communication student from UP-Manila. Well, fave book is Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment, Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is close second while Nabokov's Lolita is running third. Thanks bud, and I have no doubt that you're int.

[Rincess]

Suite's comfy? Wow, you're the only dude I know who's ever said that! Haha. My bro keeps complaining about the coat. It's too hot here in the Phil to wear it. But hey, it's better than wearing a dress, right? Lol, personally, I don't like wearing anything formal. It's...distracting. Most comfy clothes are boxers and a large t-shirt.

And wow, Crime and Punshiment? I haven't really read the book but now that I think about it, I'd love to get a hold of a copy. I'm starting to get into classic lit. YA is kinda getting typical and stuff. I mean, they all write the same way...well, not all, but most. Ah, YA fans don't kill me? I still love ya guys!

And cool, you sound smart. I mean c'mon UP Manila and Classic Lit? I call honor list!

[Jan]

Hi, all. I'm Jan. Psyched to finally be part of a book-related group. I tried starting a book club with friends but that failed miserably. Anyway, I've been reading detective stories(yes, Nancy Drew) and fantasy since I was a kid. I have grown into short stories, classics and general fiction. I plan to ease my way into sci-fi but I don't think I can take romance (I guess that depends on how it's written, right?)

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Hi hi! ^_^

[Leirah]

I'm really not a newbie. Ngayon ko lang to nakita. Amp! Glad that I found it. I'm Leira, from Angono Rizal. >:D< I'm a fellow bookworm. I love reading YA books. I'm into contemporary, fiction, dystopian, paranormal, fiction.

Looking forward to reading with all you guys! :))

[Questian]

HElo JR, and jan and Leirah, even though you have just seen this thread..hahaha...


hope you guys will enjoy this group!!!

[Lynai]

JR, JAN, LEIRAH: Welcome to TFG!

JR: I love crime and legal thrillers too. Which authors of the genre do you read?

JAN: Yay to Nancy Drew! :) Pre-Goodreads, I was confined to reading only crime novels but have expanded my reading preferences ever since. Malay mo, you will find yourself enjoying romance in the future. ;)

LEIRAH: There are a lot of YA readers in this group too. As for me, I just started reading YA recently. One of my favorite authors is John Green and The Fault in Our Stars is one of my best reads last year :)
