Resize mo muna ung image before upload sa flickr/photobucket. Pero mas gusto ko malalaking image lalo na kung iniinggit ko ang ating alien moderator. Haha!

Hey chachic how are you doing this little jpg of a book in your post?

There's an "add book/author" link on top of the comment box. Beside the "(some html is ok)" link. That's what I used. :)

[Chachic]

This looks promising. How was it? Good?

It's the second book in Holly Black's Modern Tale of Faerie trilogy. It's just okay for me but that's probably because I'm more into high fantasy than urban fantasy.

Thanks, could you recommend any fantasy series I could read next? c",)

[Aaron Vincent]

Since I noticed that you are also following Percy Jackson and The Olympian, you might as well try The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flammel by Michael Scott . You can also try Fablehaven by Brandon Mull , its kickass, my favorite so far. Uhm, if you really want some fantasy recommendations try the fantasy books topic here in this group, I posted there all the fantasy series I am interested in. :)

[Aaron Vincent]

Lol., I just realize that my last post is like a shameless endorsement of my favorite authors.,

[Chachic]

I will recommend the Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner and Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith. :) Hello shameless plugging of favorites. I posted topics about the books under "discussion > Discuss Your Favorite Books"

@ Marco: From the Corner of his Eye is my first Koontz and I can say this one is like Albom's Five People you Meet in Heaven meets Harris' Silence of the Lambs...

Worth reading.... :)

Yeah. I am really tempted to add a topic for my favorites there but I guess I will just settle to shamelessly plug those everywhere., LOL. Just like this one.

I just finished reading this one. Quantum Prophecy: The Awakening is an awesome superhero novel. A sweet treat to all fanboys!! :))))

So, Aaron Vincent, aside from THE HUNGER GAMES, which one is the best among all the fantasy books you've read lately?

[Michael Ryle]

@ jzhunagev; doni: Okay. Okay. YES! I bought a copy of Dean Koontz' By the Light of the Moon. And I'm currently reading it now. :))

I'm having a hard time thinking!

Wondrous strange, wala lang, hehehe.

[Rhys]

After Koontz, I'm currently with Follet's Lie Down with Lions. It's my first Follet and I immediately like him. The pages just easily fly by...

[Apokripos]

As I told you Rhys, you'll really love Follett.. ^_^

[Rhys]

Well, I found somewhat similarities of Follet's style of writing to Sheldon's. Words are concise, clear-cut and easy, and obviously not wordy. A total type!

[K.D.]

Marco wrote: "@Rhys: What's the book about?
@Doni: Did you read "My Sister's Keeper"? Ahahaha!
@Lynai: Far different in a bad way?"

Marco, I tried to. But I got bored after page 1. My lady friend has read all her books and she forced me to try reading My Sister's Keeper. After page 1, I gave back the book and apologize. Not for me.

My favorite novel by Ken Follet is THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH. Next is WHITEOUT. I already read EYE OF THE NEEDLE, HORNET'S FLIGHT, WORLD WITHOUT END too.

Aside from THG and CF, a lot. Mostly MG fantasy, I haven't read yet a YA fantasy novel that can equal my fascination over THG. For MG, there would be a lot but I would only name the one that is on top of the list and that is Fablehaven by Brandon Mull. I only have read the first in the series, partly because I'm prolonging the pleasure and partly because NBS and PB don't have enough stocks. I read it last November but until now I am having daydreams about it. While I was reading it, I really got lost to Mull's world. It's as if Brandon Mull cast a spell on you because everything is so vivid and real. I love Percy Jackson and The Olympians but I didn't got that feeling while reading it so I must say this is the best MG fantasy I read so far.

If this don't convince you, look it up on Wikipedia and read the Reception area (not the plot summary cause it contains a lot of spoilers) and see how well it was received.

[Byron]

I just have a question. Are you guys all Pinoy and Pinay?
Books I'm reading are for now textbooks... Need to study...

[Maryse]

Proudly pinay :)

i'm a Sheldon fan! too bad he isnt around anymore to write new books such as his Master of the Game, If Tomorrow comes...

Sorry.. what's MG again?

[Apokripos]

We're all mixed up Byron. That's how diverse this group is...

Plus you also got an Alien Moderator...

San ka pa!

[Lynai]

And a jurassic muse and a super ek-ek member. What more could you ask for?

MG stands for Middle-Grade. Percy Jackson, Harry Potter and the likes belongs to that category. Most of the time, MG books are also considered as YA. But you can tell that a book is MG if you think it is too light to be YA. The characters are less mature than the characters of YA.

[Rhys]

@ Faye Ann: When Sheldon passed away last 2007 I was totally devastated and a lot more devastated when I found no active Sheldon group here in goodreads.

[Rhys]

After Follet's Lie Down with Lions, I'm now with Grisham's The Testatment.. It's been long since I had read one of his crafts...and legal thriller is always a kickoff, I must say...

Yes, Byron. Textbooks first. If we can talk in Tagalog, most often than not we are Pinoys and Pinays. Ikaw nakakapagsalita ka ba ng tagalog?

[Rhys]

@ Kuya Doni: I wish I can burrow your Follet's books and rest assured that I'll return them in good shape...For free, of course..hehehe

[K.D.]

Sure, Rhys. I don't mind seeing my books in tatters (as long as buo pa). Basta napakinabangan at nakapagpasaya ng ibang tao bukod sa akin!
Send me an email privately here in Goodreads, tell me which book you want to borrow and we can meet up.
Ang iyong,
Kuya Doni

[Rhys]

Wow...This group is very lucky to have you Kuya Doni.. and I really appreciate the effort...:)

[Rhys]

@ Kuya Doni: Atty Joselito, your brother is really funny.. :)I wish we can meet but my tight school schedule hinders it, plus I am miles away from Manila...

[Apokripos]

I'm going to read The Kite Runner soon...

Oh, you should! And read the book first before you watch the film. It's heartbreaking... But it shows a lot of courage...

I'm reading Wild Swans by Jung Chang. Its a a really book on the history of the Cultural Revolution. I am learning so much. And it came in handy because i was just recently interviewed by a panel of Chinese officers of a big power transmission company in China. Talk about luck :D

Nice book, Jzhunagev! I love love that book.

[Apokripos]

Thanks Kuya Doni...

Hope you'll get well soon...

And now...

Let's go plan that Filipino Group Reunion, Meet-up!

Ahahaha!

I think I'm also inspired by what you said Sir at the Group Shout Out...

[Lynai]

I'm on a Nicholas Sparks hangover right now after watching Dear John last weekend so I am currently reading At First Sight.

[Apokripos]

Be happy... At least your reading... Rather than doing nothing... You're still productive... In a way, I guess..☺☺☺

[zhen^^]

♥♥aha!

I'm reading "eternal kiss"
and mortal instrument's second sequel
"city of ashes"! aha .
