[General] Introduce Yourself!
Hi there! Ako po ay science fiction fan mula bata pa. In the 70s and 80s naghahanap ako ng used books sa Recto at duon ko nasimulan ang mga favorites: Larry Niven, Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov. Ngayon naman, younger authors like China Mieville, Neil Gaiman, Peter Hamilton. Reading is a lifelong love. May unos at tigang, pero di tuluyang nawawala.

Hi Ranee! Actually, it depends on my mood. Haha. But I can still concentrate in what I am reading while listening to music (Plus, it makes the book more intense. Haha). :)
Glenda wrote: "Hi ranee! Oh wow, not yet! Pero shit I want to read one. I'm looking for one right now! Hahaha!"BDSM plus dystopian, that would be interesting. :)
Hi Paulina, yes, books over movies. But we still love movies though.Hi Glenda, what age did you read EL James?
Hi Pula, este Red, sana maging ka close ka rin namin.
Hi Ric, tama ka sa unos at tigang. Nung June nadiscuss pala ng grupo ang isang aklat ni China Mieville.
Hi Lyree, 2 months to go for your first year!
Hi Knight, yep, merong FB. Magpa-add na lang tayo sa mga mods.
Hi! Yes knight, we have an tfg is in fb too. You might want to send me a message saying that you are knight of goodreads. Well, i assume, you use your real name in fb. :)

Hi! I'm Joyot, been a book lover since I learned how to read.Had a book hiatus for several years (but I kept reading graphic novels) due to video games, my pursuance of a medical career and other what-nots.
Been bitten again by the Book Worm and I am once again a crazed reading frenzy.
Searched for a good book group to join and thought this is the best one. :)
Hi Raven and Joyot! Welcome to the group. :)Joyot, have you played Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age II? How about NBA2k games?

I did play a NBA game, forgot the title though, nope never played Dragon Age... I was more into RPG games, Warcraft and a little Diablo. :)
Joyot: But Dragon Age is RPG! Hehe. I'm now waiting for the release of Dragon Age Inquisition this year. Played a little Diablo 2 before too. The latest I played were Bioshock Infinite and NBA2k14. Not playing that much these months. I was more into reading lately. :)
BOOMWINDOWPANES. Get it? GET IT? WINDOW--oh, forget it.

Hi guys! My name is Jewel Allen and I have a novel coming out Oct. 29 called GHOST MOON NIGHT, a paranormal thriller set in 1950s Philippines: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... I grew up in the Philippines the first 15 years of my life and now live in Utah. Nice to meet you all!
Hi Raven, Hi, Alex, I'm Angus.Hi Joyot, welcome to the best group on Goodreads. :D
Hi Odracir, cool name! Sounds like a mythological god or creature.
Hi Alexa, we love one another in this group then. :)
Hi Ivanne, happy reading, too.
Hi Jewel, best of luck to your upcoming novel.
Hi, I'm Kay and I love to read. I'm not much for dystopian novels but I read them anyways. I'm currently reading Crown of Midnight while taking a break from Madman's Daughter since I find it a bit morbid. Good day to all :)
Hi everyone! I am Ranee (waves)Hope to see you in one of our F2f discussions!
We love having newbies around.
Hi Raven and Ravenchild! Do you rap and tap on someone's door?
Hi Joyot! Dianlo2! Reminds me how old I am! Aack college days and pentiumII computers.
Hi Odracir! I was just wondering, are you the exact opposite of your dad or his mirror image?
Hi Alexa! You have a katokayo momentarily hibernating until the sem ends
Hi Ivanne! Most members including myself started as a lurker. Believe me, unlurking is the best move you did.
Hi Jewel! Good luck with your novel!
Hi Lazybug! Happy dystopian reading! Speaking of, malapit na ang part 2 ng catching fire!

Hi! Good day everyone. My name is Mark. I just rekindled my love for Goodreads after a long hiatus. :D I am now trying to track every book that I read the past few years. XD I love books more than anything physical this world can give me. The fondest memory that I can remember being a child is me wanting to buy alot of books and wanting to have my own library (which is now coming into being). I read almost everything. No specific genre. If I think that the blurb or synopsis seems interesting, I buy the book. I have a book buying issue which makes my to-be-read pile 7 times taller than me now. :D I love reading but I don't have friends who share the same passion with me. Which is so so sad. I have friends who reads but not as much as I do that's why it's hard for us to discuss books. I hope I can find book friends here. Nice to meet y'all. :))
Hello po sa lahat. Lazybug is Kay. I'm Kay also. Nice to meet me. How nice. HahaAnyways, bago po ako dito sa GR. Its a pleasure to meet you all. :)

Hi! Christine here! I'm from Bohol, but I'm currently staying in Cebu. :D Anyway, call me by my second name please. I'm not used to the name Christine anymore. People call me Babe, I'm not even joking. I read every book under the sun.
Christine wrote: "Hello! *waves frantically*"Hindi ko rin gusto tinatawag ako by my first name, so kung ano lg 'yong gusto kong itawag sakin, 'yun na lang ang naka-display na name ko. People still call by my first name even though I said not to, so..
Hehe :) *timid smile :)
Hi guys!! I'm Jeng, 16. First yr HS palang nagbabasa na ako. Wattpad ako unang na-adik. Sa Campus Royalties. Tapos nag-start lang magbasa ng mga Intern books mga 2nd year. Una kong nabasa ay ang Thrylle Trilogy ni Amanda Hocking tapos nasundan na ng marami pa. Now, I'm currently reading The Maze Runner. Who among you guys have read it already? I'm halfway through it so we could discuss it when I'm done :)
Hello everyone!I'm Bea, a 19-year-old freshman student at U.P. Diliman. I was in this group roughly three years ago, back when I still lived in the U.S., but had to abandon my old account for a variety of personal reasons. Anyway, I don't necessarily expect anyone to remember me, haha.
But yes, hello! I'm a pretty avid reader, though being in university means I'm getting swamped with work so I haven't had much time these days to read anything except what is required for my English class. I'm currently not reading anything - though Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka is due for my class next week, oops. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is next on my list!
Favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Gladwell, and Haruki Murakami. I used to read young adult novels, too, but I don't really read them as much these days.
Sorry this got long! Nice to meet everyone. :)

Hi Bea! What course?Metamorphosis! I hope you are not afraid of ipis.
After reading that, try looking for Haruki Murakami's different take on that novella, his short story, Samsa in love.
(I love Murakami too)
Odracir, is that the bookstore found in the second floor, the one in front of the fruitshake stand and above mister donuts? It closed already. Unless I am just unlucky and finds it always closed.
Hi Tracy! Try searching for "Goodreads - TFG".To all: It would be helpful to try to message the admins in the fb page so that we could accept your request faster especially for those that uses codenames/pseudonyms here in goodreads. (I don't know if it's a talent to be honed and to be proud of but I am getting better at stalking in fb
