[General] Introduce Yourself!
Hi everyone! I'm Shed. I'm a fan of the horror/mystery/thriller genre. I only started widening my book genre horizon when I was in College. I've read all of Sidney Sheldon's books. I love Simon Beckett. The first book I read was Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice. Read that when I was in 4th grade. Pretty mature stuff for a kid back then. That's why I read it again when I was in high school. Major 'Ahhh ganun pala yun' moment for me. I'm not really a fan of trilogies but I seem to be finishing some YA trilogies lately (Shatter Me and Divergent). I'm currently reading The Book Thief by Markus and I have Nos4ra2 by Joe Hill on queue. Hmm. What else? I play the guitar, sing, write and do crazy-ass hand-eye/left-right coordination tricks. Sadly, I tend to read ebooks a lot. I'm too stingy to buy books. I want my books used and already leafed through. Somehow, brand new books doesn't seem appealing to me. I am nice and I don't bite and i'm typing this during my work hour so I'm definitely pasaway.My twitter username is @shedaine so we can talk there. Okay. that's about it. I welcome myself to this group. LOL

LOL Nice to know we share the same taste!

IDK if this group is still active seeing the dates (March 2009) would tell me that it is not. But if it is still active I would really love to be part of this group and share the books that I love.I'm Mugs and I'm a reader (Obviously, that's why I'm here)I love reading book series, and the stories that captures my active imagination. I'm into books that broadcasts the secrets of "The Other World", a supernatural phenomenon that even the brightest minds can't unravel.
So, please tell it is still active :) and let us talk about the books that make us believe in love and eternity and infinity and heaven and hell, in vampires and werewolves and wizards and witches and casters and nephilims and shadowhunters and gods and goddesses. <3

What kinds of poems do you write John? And for what purpose?
newbie ako dto. i luv to read. khit nga pambalot ng tinapa binabasa ko. hindi naman ako rich kya bumibili lang ako ng buks sa mga booksale kya lang yung iba di ko natatypan kasi yung iba parang sinulat ng paa. what i do, i discover good authors. sa ngayon si scot turow ang idol ko same genre ang buks niya ni grisham pero mas magaling siya. gusto ko ding mkachat ang mga ibang book lovers like me, among my friends ksi ako lang ang mahilig sa books. by the way iam a teacher from manila and i think pinkaoldie sa group
hi cathy. almost kumpleto ako ng book ni grisham ksi naadik ako sa knya before. fav ko s buks nya ang the firm, pelican brief, at the brethen. kya lang sguro sa dmi ng buks niya prang nwala n magic niya. why dont you try scot turow sabi siya daw ang thinking j. grisham. nakabasa na ko ng 3 buks niya at lahat superb especially ordinary heroes. naghahanap ako ng book ni liza genova na still alice. nagtanong ako sa national namark down na daw. if anyone here has this book willing ako to buy.

hello. at one time nakahiligan ko din ang classic books. i started with charles dickens (tale of two cities ang fav kong buk nya) then to kill a mockingbird tapos nagtry ako ng russian author. nabasa ko yung ana karenina ni leo tolstoy. ang haba more than 900 pages pero i loved it. then i discovered fyodor dostoyovsky (crime and punishment at brother karamazov) after that mga 5 years akong di nagbasa. why kasi no one can be compared sa galing niya. then unti unti bumalik ulit ang interes ko to read pero di na mga classics.

Name's Franz Miguel. Just call me Franz. I'm 17. I live in here, obviously. My favorite book is I Am Number Four. My most favorite author is John Green.

Hello, I'm Katrina. I prefer to read romance, dark & urban fantasy, surrealism, medical mystery and classics. I also write my own novels/novellas, romantic comedy, during my free time. :)
Hello po, my name is Anne! I just started to get addicted with books. 19y/o, I love Rick Riordan's books. I love fantasy books since they take me away from reality, once in a while. I read dystopian novels, mythology, fables, fairy tales.I also read mangas, wattpad stories. As long as someone recommended a book to me, I'll be glad to read it.
Hello everyone :D My name is Jayvalikka, you can call me Jayva for short. I'm 19 years old and an incoming 4th year Bs Biology student. I'm from Zamboanga city and one of the things I love doing in my past time is to read lots of books :) I am currently challenging myself to read 100 books this year and to finish 23 series. The latter is part of a challenge that I also joined from another group. I love reading all kinds of genre but I'd rather not read gory and paranormal books. haha! I also volunteer to give an honest review in exchange for an ARC or advance reader's copy from international authors. I am currently reading E.B. Hood's Melabeth Forgive Me for I am Sin (second book in its series) and I recommend you guys to read it! He's a new author from California and is thrilled to know he had a Filipino volunteer for an ARC. :D I am happy to have found this group! I'm looking forward to making new friends.

And also the El Fili. But if other novels, makakahanap kang ng filipino stories sa wattpad na npublished na. Like The Filthy Rich Bitch and Dama: The princess bitch by Jhing Bautista. Pardon the b**** word, but dont worry, they are quite good books and really worth reading.

Hello Rochelle! You can try Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility for your classic book list! They are the best classic books Ive read so far. And what do you mean of "Anglophile"? Does that mean you're obssessed with the culture and language of Anglo Saxons?

Hi! My name is Jen. :) I've been a Goodreads member since 2012 but I only started using it frequently this year. I work for a Public Relations firm but when I'm not working, I either write, read, or watch TV Series (Castle, The Walking Dead, How I Met Your Mother, and Arrow fan!).
I read almost anything but most of my current reads are currently YA, NA, or Romance. My mom gets a bit upset when I bring new books because I don't have enough space for everything (and I have a lot of unread books too.)so I usually opt for ebooks. :)
That's pretty much it. :)

You should try Tess Gerritsen! :) Her Rizzoli and Isles series is good. :)
Hello everyone! My name is Jeront Villagomez. I just started reading books this month. It got back my interest again because of my friend at work who is a member of this group too.

You guys as well can encourage me and suggest some BEST BOOKS you've ever read. Thank you guys!

Hello. Ako po si Neil Franz. 22 taong gulang from Bulacan. Dati puro maikling kwento (kahit di naman talaga maikli) at mga pabula atbp lang ang binabasa ko sa mga textbooks nung high school (English at Filipino) pero simula nung binasa ko yung The Alchemist, THG at mga aklat ni Bob Ong nung college ako, ngayon di na ko mapigilan sa pagbabasa ng mga novels hehe. Nahihilig ako ngayon sa genre na Dystopia, Paranormal pero gusto ko rin ang Realistic Fiction. Yun lang salamat. :)
