The series is about two detectives. Not much police involved. I think you will like Lehane's style and plots, especially on his series. :)

I found my copy of Shutter Island from Booksale. You might chance upon one there. :)

[Rollie]

Kwesi. right you're too antique. :)

[Joyzi]

Kwesi feeling ko mas maganda mabasa yung TMI then Clockwork Angel then CoFA, pero ikaw

[Rollie]

Lynai: I didn't like much Mystic River as well.

[Kristel]

@Lynai: Ahahaha, I'm a proud Booksale bargain hunter so I'll definitely do that. :D

[kwesi 章英狮]

Joyzi, TMI?

[Joyzi]

The Mortal Instruments, the first three



Are you a Harry Potter fan Kwesi?

[kwesi 章英狮]

Yap!

[Renz]

@Joyzi, You're Right!! First 3 of TMI then Clockwork Angel then CoFA.

[Joyzi]

Baka maoffend ka, medyo Harry Potter rip off e

[kwesi 章英狮]

Ano yung link between Clockwork sa TMI?

[Joyzi]

Kwesi basta TMI muna, kasi baka mabitin ka sa Clockwork Angel, trilogy din kasi yun pero book 1 pa lang ang out

[kwesi 章英狮]

Aaa ok.

[Rollie]

Clockwork is prequel of TMI Kwesi. :)

[Joyzi]

Kwesi astig din pala yung Clockwork, steampunk siya e

[kwesi 章英狮]

O sige kayu na madaming alam, basahin ko na nga yan. *nagtatampo Joke lang haha.

[Rollie]

Haha. Yan kasi. ibang genre binabasa mo e. haha

[kwesi 章英狮]

Wala akong genre, haha.

[Rollie]

toddlers' books binabasa mo e. :)

[kwesi 章英狮]

Ay oo nga pala. Haha.

Good luck with the hunt, Kristel! Looking forward to your review of The Shutter Island. :)

I might try reading Mario Puzo one of these days. I have seen lots of his books at Booksale too. Which book would you recommend for a a first read?

[Joanna]

hello! im Joanna (100% filipina) and I'm 14. i think that in my whole family, i'm the only one who likes to read book so i'm completely clueless where i got it.

i live in London, England and i moved here less than 3 years ago. i only started reading loads of books when i came here because i can borrow books from the library and there are loads of choices that i cannot help myself, next thing i knew i borrowed four books at one time! (yeah, i know) LOL. :)

wala na akong maisip... hmm... i love reading YA books. i only have a bookshelf with 3 layers in it and i need more! :D im planning to get a kindle but i really think that i will miss turning the pages of a book sooo much.

one time, i let my friend borrow one of my books and when she brought it back, one big chunk of the book fell off when i opened it. i was like, 'what the hell?' she told me she was going to replace it but never did! haizz,,... :( yeah.. from then on, i couldnt let her borrow any more of my books.

feel free to ask me other questions if you want. :)

[Maria]

welcome joanna! wow, all the way from london!

i got a kindle but i still buy and read PB and HB books. if you like travelling or a fast reader, then buy a kindle. it works for me, 2-3 books i can finish on a 4D3N trip :)

hirap magpahiram noh? OC pa nman ako sa books ko.

enjoy GR Filipinos!

[Maria]

Clockwork Angel is just an OK book for me. Para syang CoFA, after reading the book you were left with more questions than when you started reading it.

[Reegan]

hello Joanna.. ^^

[K.D.]

JOANNA: Wow! First time to have a member who is actually in London! Noooo, our former moderator, Marco, is also there. Di ba Jzhun?

SHUTTER ISLAND: I want to be your reading buddy if you want to read this book. My copy is gathering dust in my bookshelf. An American friend rated this with 5 stars but kagaya ni Joyzi tinatamad ako, I just bought the movie and watched it. Pangit. Di ko tinapos. The eyebrows of Leonardo de Carpio irritated me. Just like in Inception. I do not know why. I liked him in Titanic when he does not use his eyebrows to show his feelings.

So, I want to read the book because De Carpio will not be there.

[Kristel]

@Lynai: The two books I've read of Puzo are The Godfather and Omerta. I love them both, but I think going with the classic The Godfather first is a great way to introduce yourself into the world.

@K.D.: I'll post on the Reading Buddies thread once I secure myself a copy. I'd love to read Shutter Island with you. :D

[kwesi 章英狮]

Hi Joanna, welcome to GR-Filipinos.

[Rollie]

Hello Joanna. welcome. :)

[K.D.]

KRISTEL: Yes, please. If you are going to buy, Booksale is the place to be. I have been seeing copies of this in Booksale.

Thanks Kristel. I'll look for The Godfather the next time I'm in Booksale. WHich reminds me, I have to do a list of the books I want to find in Booksale, or else I end up buying other books instead. Haha!

[K.D.]

Puede yon? May shopping list ka when you go to Booksale? Parang supermarket lang? :)

Isang kilo nga ng Stephen King.
One fourth na John Grisham

Ha ha

[Lynai]

K.D. Oo naman. Para I get to limit my shopping at Booksale. Haha.

Wala na bang tawad sa Sidney Sheldon?

Haha.

[Krystine]

Hi Joana~. Lol. We`re one and the same. I love books too but none in my family does. XD

[K.D.]

ERIELE: Same to many of us. That's why we are a family here. Di ba Jzhun. Andoon yan sa keychain na giveaway ni Jzhun. Attend ka ng next na meetup, you will see it.

Lol I want to but it`s kind of far. I can`t commute. D:

@joanna;; Yeah. My classmates don`t understand why I go to a quiet corner and read a book. Lol I just always feel like leaving reality and go somewhere wonderful.

[Veneficus]

hello to all newbies like Me. :)

[Renz]

@Eriele and Joanna, My friends laugh at me when I bring books in our trips. They said that we are supposed to have fun. Well, I consider reading books as FUN. Haha.
