Hi, guys, new member here! I recently re-discovered my goodreads account and decided to make good use of it. Majority of my books are still at shelfari, but I'll get around to moving them here... eventually. What I have on my goodreads shelf right now are just books I've read this year. Not much, I know, but there's life, there's work, and there are other things like the internet that get in the way of reading. ;-) Hope to gain a lot from this group!
We haven't a book discussion... and we even didn't voted for a book yet...What do you say we give it another go this coming october?

I second that. May I also suggest removing some old threads/discussions and make way for new ones?

Jhun, we can actually add that as a new thread. I've seen some groups here that has "Shameless Promotion" where they post all their promotions -book releases, 2nd hand books for sale, their blog sites, etc.

thanks for the link.
Attention Everyone!This group is again up and running...
Nominate this coming October's book Club theme...
And also...
I locked up the group bookshelf...
That is to prevent spammers who brazenly advertise their book around (how brazen of them! huh!)....
They seem quite to abound in our group... so we have to be wary of them....

I was thinking something about Filipino Urban Legends. Do you think we have those kinds?

Hello po, newbie... I didn't realize a lot of pinoys do read books - sorry to be such a jerk but in a classroom of 50, I'd bet 2 would like to read a book. Some would even prefer to spend the money on food rather than on a book - which is why I only got to read a lot when I started working.
Guide me up through this one please.. :D
Godbless!

With open arms... Bwahahaha!!! XDD

just stumbled upon this site maybe about 2 days ago & this group a li'l over an hour ago? and i'm already liking it here. (the site & the group)... it's nice to know that the head moderator of this group is still a proud Filipino after 4 years of living in Europe. (correct me if i'm wrong..:D) :)
my name is cammeo by the way. :) weird eh? hehe. can't change what my parents gave me when i was born... xD
i'm currently 14 years old (turning 15 this nov '09), and
a junior in parañaque science high school.so bale taga-Pque ako. :) uhm. ayun. :)i love reading fictional books... with the genre almost always being fantasy, adventure, romance, humor, sci-fi... etc. although i read non-fictional books too, it's just that i prefer fictional ones. :D
i'm actually friendly and may pagka-kalog din if you get to know me. 'di po ako nangangain ng tao... nangangagat lang. :D joke. please feel free to ask me anything. :)
by the way, i'm a girl... haha. you see, most people have a misconception with my name being a boy's. :D so i guess that's it. :)
oww! i just wanna add., you may call me camz. :) ^^
soo, camz 'ere, greeting everyone a good night (it's already 11:33 PM in my pc's clock. xD), over an' out! :)
