Hi everyone! I'm Elaine and am also new in this group. Didn't know there's TFG 'til I read it in the newspaper this morning. :) I'm an interior designer and frustrated craftsman (blaming pinterest here) from QC.I love reading and have been taking up the yearly reading challenge. I also love sharing my reading experiences here in GR as well as my blog. I try to read books of any genre so I'm basically open to any good read suggestion. I'm also into reviewing books for Goodreads authors and try to make an honest opinion of the materials sent to me. Right now, I'm reading A Man of Indeterminate Value by Ron Felber and the Dreseden Files by Jim Butcher (I'm on the 11th book already) and other books of the trade as well.
I love collecting books but I'm now beginning to enjoy reading e-books too (though real books are still the best).
Hope to meet you guys one day soon. :)

Haha. Read it in Manila Bulletin Jan 11 2014. I think its in the Students and Campuses or Lifestyle Section
Hello, Cherry here. I love to read book/s during my spare time. I love mysteries, suspense and thriller at most times. Nevertheless I read anything available and interesting :) And I still find myself flipping pages of ya novels.
Hi new lang dito :) hope I can catch up with you guys
Hey! Not that new to GR, became active just a few weeks ago but totally new to this group. I didn't know about it until I saw it on a friend's page. Love reading (obviously) but I mostly write...or try to. I've been using books as an excuse to give myself long breaks whenever inspiration jumps off the building. Yeah, jump. It seems to have died. Or went into hiding between our fish tank and bougainvillea. Off-tangent.
Anyway, I like reading suspense, thrillers, romance, A LOT of YA (guilty pleasure at my age), non-fic; whatever as long as it's interesting (as stated in my profile hehe). Nice to meet you all! :)
Hi everyone! Anj here. :) I joined goodreads a year ago. Ngayon nga lang naging active. Hehe.I love reading so much! Recently, I've been addicted to Sophie Kinsella's novels and Kate Brian's A Private Novel. (Sorry masyadong pa-girl lang.lol)
Can't wait for more book recommendations though! :D

Hello everyone, I'm Ludy and I am new here.I joined Goodreads to look for new books. I like classic, fantasy, Thriller, sci-fi, adult, YA or whatever that caught my interest. I've recently addicted to Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey Series ('till now hindi pa din ako makaget-over) and currently reading The Immortal Rules (Blook of Eden) still by Julie Kagawa.
I hope I can join some of book discussion and meet some of the members. It's really great to have a reading buddy and I'm lucky to found this group.

Hi Guys, My book is FREE on Amazon until Friday. If you have kindle apps or kindle device, please grab a copy of Ascian.http://www.amazon.com/Ascian-Portal-T...
Hi. I'm Marci from QC. I've joined Goodreads way back but its only now that I've decided to go active. I'm a fan of novels that depict dystopian society. Some of my recently finished books are Son by Lois Lowry (Giver series) and Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood by Margaret Atwood (Maddaddam series). I also collect 'art-of' books. Hope i can connect to other owners/collectors of art-of books out there. Thanks!

HELLO THERE GUYS! :) HAHA KAHIT SAAN TALAGA MAPUNTANG ONLINE SITE AKO, NEVER PANG NAWALA ANG FILIPINO GROUPS!
hi! newbie here. So, i'd like to introduce myself. i'm Bianca. student/cheerleader/BIBLIOPHILEi'm 20 years old but people always say that i don't look like one. i'm about to graduate from college this march 2014. i'm a psychology student and i super love reading and collecting books. I'm into YA adult novels most of the time but i like reading other genres too. i always read and it has been my coping mechanism when i feel awful(i dont know if that's good haha). i read books a lot and watch movies a lot. i'm into comparing books to its movies even though i know books are better. i don't read tagalog books though. and don't ask me what's my favorite book because seriously, that's the hardest question ever.
i want to meet new people and that i look forward to getting to know you guys since i don't know anyone here.
Hello! I'm Jana and I'm new here:) well, yesterday I attended the book discussion about The Book Thief at Fullybooked Fort, and I enjoyed it, A LOT. Bonus is I won a copy of the book! You know, being around book lovers and discussing the written word. Awesome. And now I'm feeling like I want to do that every month, so yeah that's why I'm here, looking forward to attend more book discussions and meet the people here :)
Hi jana! :) Looks like other people aren't here yet. btw I'm christine

Hello! Kelangan ba tagalog?I'm Alvin and I'm a Goodreads user since around November. Hindi talaga ako ganun kahilig magbasa until recently, I got addicted to M/M Romance (shucks nakakahiya!) Now, hindi ko na kaya hindi magbasa. I've read other titles too, usually kung anu yung uso un ang binabasa ko. I haven't read Filipino titles as of now, but the ones na last na nagustuhan ko is yung mga libro ni Bob Ong. He's really a good and funny writer na maraming insight na bumenta sa akin at sa generation ko of readers siguro.
I'm also an Accounting Assistant on a radio station, single and cute. (LOL!)
Looking forward sa chats with you guys. :D
Thanks for the welcome guys! :) Maria ella: sorry about my bookshelves, they're kinda ghost towns coz I don't really update here in goodreads, hehe.
Yeah!! I'd really love to attend your book discussions. Ill keep myself updated with the upcoming ones:)
See you all soon! :)
Hello Hello! I'm jaja and I'm new here. Mahilig akong magbasa, basta may extra time. Kapag walang extra time, sinisingit ko ang pagbabasa, sa MRT, sa jeep, sa kama, at sa kung saan man abutin, para lang makabasa kahit ilang pages. Isa akong kawani ng gobyerno sa tabi-tabi. I, thank you! :P

I'm not really comfortable saying it yet. I've been only talking to other M/M Romance readers(and GR members) before I joined here. And I'm not that out, so...but it's fine. Kelangan lang masanay. I'm not ashamed of it naman talaga. I've been reviewing a lot of M/M Romance books already, and I'm trying to make my reviews better and better. :D
Salamat sa welcome!
Alvin: Glad to hear that. Just be yourself here, and I think you'll enjoy TFG family. :)
