message 8401: by Tracy (new)

Tracy (atracya) | 7 comments hi PheaJhay! Others think that reading is boring. Good thing we have this group.


message 8402: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hi Maxx! Naglalie low din kami sa reading, yung tipong one or two books a month lang. We have yet to experience a total disregard of reading within a month.

Hi Noelle! We haven't read erotica yata (if you count Henry Miller, yun pa lang). Erotic stories, yes, but not actual erotica.

Hi Hesed! We love book sales, too. The only semblance of book auctions that we've experienced are the ones on eBay.

Hi, Angus! What books/stories by Henry Miller have you read? Care to recommend? :)


message 8404: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Noelle, I've read Tropic of Cancer but I would only recommend it if you like very stylized writing about dirty men who badly need to be deloused but still fool around, even with one-legged prostitutes.

Welcome to Goodreads and the TFG group, Hesed! :) *waves back*

sharmaine | 8 comments hello everyone, I'm Sharmaine, I'm not new here in Goodreads, but I never joined any book club, this is my first time join a book club, i was searching for a Filipino book club, and I'm lucky I found this group. I want to talk all of you guys about books or anything..

I read all kinds of books, but young adults are my favorites. I'm now currently reading the book thief by Markus Zusak. have you read it? what can you say about it?


message 8407: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hi Sharmaine, welcome to your first book club. And hurray for The Book Thief. It's my favorite YA novel. That's all I can say for now. Keep reading! :)


message 8408: by Pauline (new)

Pauline (paupie_tries) | 5 comments Hi! I'm Ricka! I just started reading books last year and I got super addicted. Haha! I love books that are similar to Shatter Me Series or Miss Peregrine's House of Peculiar Children or i don't know haha! I guess anything that would have powers in it. But I'm also reading contemporary so yeah. :)

Yeah, medyo mahirap nga eh, lalo na kung ang reason lang is walang time. Sad truth, it is.

YA is my fave, too. And YA books are so amazing! Haven't read The Book Thief, though, but looking forward to.

Hi, Ricka! Reading is surely addicting. I have yet to read those you mentioned and I'm very excited about it. I hope you enjoy more as you read more books.


message 8412: by Noelle (new)

Noelle (wellibeanz) | 12 comments Hi, guys! So, I don't know how to make a new thread; I'll just ask here. Does anyone know where I can buy graphic novels (like Batman, Joker, the collector's edition/s, etc.) for a cheaper price? Do you know of any online shop, perhaps, or maybe some of you are willing to sell? Thank you. :)

Louize (thepagewalker) | 1831 comments WELCOME TO ALL NEWBIES!

Pauline Cueno: Hi!

Eka: Well said! Come share your reading experiences with us on one of the up-coming F2F.

Kathleene Mae: Looking forward to meeting and sharing ideas with you too.

Jerson: Neil Gaiman fangirl here!

Osmlowis: Hi tokayo! Have you read For the Roses by Julie Garwood? It's one of my favorites.

April: Hello! May I suggest Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series to end your dry spell season?

Kim: Davao! I love Davao kahit malayo. ♥

Sigrid: Hi! If you like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you might also likeForgive Me, Leonard Peacock or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. :)

Flyingfish950: Hope you'll love John Green too!

Hafshie: Glad that you found us too!

Margarette: Will visit your blog!

Dennis: Gald that you love The Fault in Our Stars.

Devi: Here's a proper welcome to Goodreads and TFG...YAY! :)

Tracy: Noted! If we are anywhere near QC, we'll give you a holler. I am from Las Pinas, by the way, it takes about 2 hrs for me to meet up with the group around Ortigas or Shaw; but I always look forward to seeing these people every month that I don't mind the commute. I've figured, once a person fell in love with people, the'll do everything possible to see them. I promise you, you will not regret meeting us! ♥

Maxx: Don't worry, we're all obsessed in collecting books here. You are in the right crowd! :)

Noelle: Bookworms rule! hehehe

Hesed: Inheritance Cycle is one of my favorites too! I wish Christopher Paolini is working double time on his new book.

Sharmaine: Book Thief is love! Happy reading, just keep a wad of tissue close by. :)

Ricka: Welcome to book addiction!

Said too much! hahaha
Have a great time here in TFG, guys!

Jomille Labini (thesoraproject) | 10 comments Hi! I am a GIRL and my name is Jomille! Well they often thought i'm a boy. By the way, i love to read and write. I write a lot and i read a lot and i feel like i'll go mad because 24 hours is not enuf to read all the books I like and to write all the ideas i have!

message 8419: by Angus (new)

message 8423: by Rin ♔ (new)

Rin ♔ (duchessrin) | 4 comments Umm, I know this is late since I've been in this group for months (this was the first book club I joined...or group...whatever) and I was not that active in groups (until I turned 18). So I'm going to introduce myself, I hope you don't mind.

I'm Rin and I joined GR last January since it was recommended by a long time friend and I'm thankful since it made finding a book to read easier for me.


message 8424: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Hi Manu, I haven't read King and Rice yet. Oops. Any recos for starters? :)

message 8427: by sharmaine (new)

sharmaine | 8 comments Angus: I felt the same way too I watch the movie first before reading the book, the title was so compelling. Well, it takes time for me to appreciate the book tho, I don't like the pacing of the book, it's just so slow. And I really hate it, but I keep on reading it. Its good, I love it, I still cried at the ending even though I know what will be the ending of the book. hahaha


Devi: I'm glad you're reading it too Devi, so.. How was it?


message 8428: by sharmaine (new)

Ooh, Stephen King. I haven't read his books (not much into horror) but I like the movie adaptations of his stories. :) The only horror author I've read is Edgar Allan Poe.
