Group Read

[Josephine, Brightest]

Hi Guys! Lee suggested that we do group reading! I agree with her ^_^

So, is there a book that you'd like to suggest that we read for this coming week? ^_^

Super excited :D

I'd like to suggest Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl for biography [a recommendation from Lee], but if I'm the only one who hasn't read that yet, then I think it'd be pointless :(

Would you guys like to suggest two to three books a month?

If so, I'd like to suggest Samantha Sotto's Before Ever After as well.

What about you guys? Any suggestions? :)

[Dodilee]

I can read Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl again. :) It's fine with me.

I can't find any ebook for Before Ever After. haha I have to wait for months for someone to pirate it. >.< (no offense meant to the author. XD)

[Josephine, Brightest]

hahaha! I can lend you my copy if you like. I won a hard copy of the book via twitter, I'm still waiting for it to arrive though. I do have a [signed] paperback and I can lend it to you. ^_^

[Dodilee]

Wow! Can you tell me more about Samantha Sotto? I'm thinking you're a fan of her, and why? hehe Sorry for being ignorant. hehe

Yey, if you must insist, I would like to borrow that book. haha But how?hehe Wait, you're from Cavite too! ayos! But let's wait for the others to agree on the books we'll read this month. ^_^

About Samantha Sotto, I like her because she wrote a book and didn't hesitate to look for publishers abroad in order for her book to get published. For that alone...I've become a fan. I love her guts. Also, I love how she strings words into a sentence. I can immediately tell why she got published. Hmmn, it was not really the book trailer that sold the book to me, it was her dedication to her kids. Btw, did you see the book trailer?

[Dodilee]

Nope, can you give me a link?

[Josephine, Brightest]

Dodilee wrote: "Nope, can you give me a link?"

sure, wait lang, let me look for it :D

pwede... not unless uber thick ang book then maybe that can be for one week... what do you think? has anyone read my name is memory by ann brashares? i want to read it sana... just a suggestion for group read... if not, it's ok din... =)

[Dodilee]

Pwede Ate Angel, but I have to read Before Ever After first, once Ate Jho lends me a copy of it(next Friday! woot woot!haha). Can we set our group read for-- "within this month"? So we can choose which ones to read first.hehe

no problem... go ahead, read the book... super duper nice sya... it's great even that a filipina wrote it... so refreshing the way she writes... parang nandun ka rin kasama nila and not reading... hope you enjoy it...

[Ruby]

i have a copy of my name is memory, kaso di ko pa xa natatapos basahin, kc nagooverlap na yung mga books na binabasa ko. at least d2 may chance ko na xang matapos..hehe. di ko pa din nababasa yung Before ever after and yung Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl..

@ruby: what do you think so far? i like the blurb... =)

[Ruby]

@angel: so far maganda naman xa, never-ending love story nung dalawang characters. pero, siguro one of the reasons kaya di ko xa matapos basahin ulit kc at the end of the chapter ng present time, ang susunod na chapter is yung past naman nila, nalito tuloy ako. parang Juliet lang yung style. pero ito natapos ko kaagad. cguro lang talga, nauuna yung ibang books na inaabangan kong basahin kaya di ko matapostapos.

@ruby: i'm like that also, kaya nga i can't finish yung artemis fowl... i found a lot of great books to read... so nag overlap na rin... sabayan pa ng makulit na kapatid na inunahan ako sa gusto kong basahin... haizt! =) waaaaahhhh, i also like juliet... =)

haha, I suggested Before Ever After and Lee's recommended book: Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

[Dodilee]

Ate Jho, you can add the books we are going to read this month on the bookshelf, under currently-reading, once the final decision has been made. hehehe

I vote for Before Ever After and My Name is Memory. :))

But wait, Before Ever After is already on the "read" list of the group's bookshelf. >.<

[Abi]

hahaha... I'm stuck with The Htchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy... I saw a lot of good reviews about it and I'm too excited to read it to read any other book. The problem is, i can't start. I haven't bought it yet... But, whatever books you guys suggest, I'll try reading it too...

But any other suggestions are welcome. Pwde naman next month eh, prioritize nlang natin ung mga pinakagusto natin basahin this month and then we can all talk about it. haha

hahaha! ayan, take note natin yan~ wait din natin yung suggestion ng iba :D

[Abi]

oh! just in case you're wondering, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has 5 books... you might want to decide which one you want to read... The reviews i read said that the first 2-3 books were their favorite, and it's a bit unique... or REALLY unique! and to top it all off, it doesn't really have a plot... well, that's what they say, and that's exactly why i'm reading it... it sounds fun!
