The Travelling Book #3: Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman
10-22-14: DONE. :)Buddy, I'll just hand this to you this weekend. :)
Hala! Pwede bang pass muna ako dito? My plate is a bit full right now (gawaan na naman ng grades TT ). Baka mabinbin lang pag napunta na sa akin feeling ko kasi mabilis tong matatapos ni Angus.
It's okay, maikli lang naman ang pila. And I'm trying to finish some tomes din. :D
I'm done with the book. I liberally broke the no-marginalia rule, tee-hee.Gay, how can I pass the book to you?
Actually, all the marginalia and other notes written there made me more curious about it. hehe nakakaaliw!
I'd like to queue for this book too! :D
Yay, I'm done with the book! I enjoyed reading it and all the marginalia written on it. :) Hi, Vera! How can I pass the book to you?
Hi Gay, PMd you. :)Will you be at the F2F on Saturday? I'm trying to catch up on reading so maybe i can join and meet you there?
Hi. Please sign me up for this. Thanks. :-)
I already have the book!!! :)Gay, you forgot to sign your name on the inside cover! I'll leave a space for you na lang :)
I am done! Very much enjoyed the book, and the marginalia too :)Kristel - Please let me know how I can pass the book along :)
Hello Vera, I'll be present at the F2F next week, so if you're going to be there I can get the book then. Otherwise I can pm you my address or phone number and we can discuss then.Also I work in Ayala so if you're in the neighborhood we can meet up too. :)
Queue list updated. Is the book with Kristel now?
Sorry everyone. I have not managed to mail the book to Kristel but I will ASAP.
I finally got to drop off the book at LBC on Saturday. Kristel should get it today!
I've received the book from Vera on Tuesday. Will try to finish it within two weeks!
I finished the book! Lennie, I'm gonna send you a PM asking for you address.
Hi Ycel, sending it tomorrow via LBC. I didn't wake up early enough to do it today.
Sorry Lennie and the rest, I haven't managed to send the book. I've had to do overtime at work since last week. I'll do my best to send it out before July ends!
I just got the book today! I will be starting it this week. :)
Hi can you please sign me up? Thanks much
I just sent the book on its way to Biena. It was lovely. :)
Hi Biena, is the book still with you?:)
Ingga, yes. Sobrang busy lang talaga kasi. But I think, I can send it out by next week. Ikaw ba ang next?

4. The book must be passed to the next person in the queue by the following month. If you do not intend to read it yet, please be considerate and pass it to the next person. If this happens, please drop a note here so we can keep track of the book and update the queue.
Book on its way to Ingga. Sorry for the delay! :)
Ok, thank you! Sana hindi mabasa ng ulan!
The books is with me!Will start reading when I get home to Baguio, then will pass it on next year to Elaine
:)
Hi! May I still join? I want to sign up for this if possible. Thanks! :D
^Updated the queue. So sorry for being remiss in my monitoring duties and thanks to Angus for intervening.Hi, BIENA. I swapped you with Ingrid following your exchange above. Kindly let her know if you prefer to get the book when she's done. Or if it's all right to pass it on to Elaine. Just work it out with her and let me know and I'll update the queue accordingly.
Hi po! :) I am already done with the book. I was the one who sent it to Ingrid :)
Am I next? ^^
Calling Ingrid! Is the book with you? :)

Yay! thanks!
Rules
Mostly same rules, except for a few items :)
(view spoiler)[
1. Sign up here if you want to read the book. The official queue below will be updated accordingly.
2. I broke the no-marginalia rule here but used sticky note for really long notes. On second thought, I don't mind marginalia. Will be more fun when I read everyone's thoughts later :)
3. No book mutilation, no dog-earing (use bookmarks), no plastic covering (use temporary covers) and no scotch tape. HANDLE THE BOOK WITH CARE.
4. The book must be passed to the next person in the queue by the following month. If you do not intend to read it yet, please be considerate and pass it to the next person. If this happens, please drop a note here so we can keep track of the book and update the queue.
5. The person who currently has the book is responsible for passing it forward regardless of geographical differences. So if the next person is in Camarines Sur and the current owner is in Manila, the latter is responsible for mailing the book to the former. Once you receive the book in the mail, please drop a note here so we know that you have received it. Because mailing cost beyond our national borders is prohibitive, this book should only travel within the Philippines.
6. When you are done reading the book, sign your name on the inside cover and the date you finished reading it.
7. Let me know if you have any other suggestions and I will update this comment.
And no matter how unsettling the book may be, have fun!
