Thanks, Emir! I don't know the exact release date in the Philippines, but I'm hoping that it will come soon after the North American launch. I'll keep you posted. Right now, it's already available for pre-order (hardcover and kindle) on Amazon. Hehe. ;-)

[Samantha]

Hi, Book Elf! Um, sadly no - but I promise you that it's not a stuffy old adult book ;D Hehe.

[Book Elf]

I guess I can handle that! Tee-hee...a little romance won't hurt...:)

[Samantha]

Haha! I'll treat you to coffee if it makes you gag :D

[Book Elf]

haha...no, i can handle it. :) I used to read Harlequin Romance before so, nope, nothing like that will happen. lol.

[Samantha]

LOL. Don't worry. It's NOT that kind of romance. Promise - no Fabio on the cover. haha! It falls under the mythic fantasy category. :D

oo nga e ang sad talaga, tapos parang naging mentally unstable pa si Katniss, nainis din ako na umalis lang si Gale

[Rollie]

Hi Maria! Welcome!:)

[Jeric]

Hi. I'm Jeric. The first book I read was "Peter Pan", when I was 5. My mum guided me through it. Since then, I've had a book at hand all the time. My favorite book is "Night" by Elie Wiesel. No book captures human suffering in such fluidity better.
