Theme: Women
Moderator: D.C.
1)
LITTLE WOMEN
by Louisa May Alcott
2)
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
by Jane Austen
3)
THE SECRET GARDEN
by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Kuya D, baka naman matabangan ang ilan nating mga members dahil classic na naman ito since 6 months haven't passed yet when we had a classic book: Jane Eyre.Why don't we got for a more contemporary outlook on women with these modern books from the TFG 100:
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood (this will be great to compliment our reading of 1984)
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
It's just my suggetion, though. :)
Will go for Little Women, I guess, since I already bought a copy of it. :)
May pang-archery na ako sa 23rd! Haha! May kumagat dun sa Eclipse (deluxe edition) na nakuha ko from Readercon last year :P
On October: Sana manalo ang Pride and Prejudice :) mas mahirap siyang basahin alone kaya dapat may motivation. Parang LOTR lang yan. Di ko aakalain babasahin kung di lang for TFG hehe
Little Women ako, if ever na matanggap ang alok ni Jzhun baka The Handmaid's Tale ang iboboto ko.Angus and Maria, ano ang sa inyo?
Jzhun, sayang. Matagal nang naka-announce yan eh. Tsaka hit naman sa members ang Jane Eyre. So far, biggest F2F yon. Kahit female writer-female protagonist maraming guys na pumunta. Let's reserve those books for next year. :)Rollie: Ako rin, The Secret Garden :). Light reading kasi Children's books yan silang 2 ng "Little Women."
Tama, Tricia. Masarap basahin kung may motivation hak hak.

Oh, well. Sa Little Women ako dahil first at favorite book ito ng ating edgy member, si Kristel! :D
March, Little Women, March!
Basta Pride and Prejudice or Little Women ako! Nabasa ko na yung The Secret Garden kasi.
Pede rin akong Little Women. Gusto ko rin yan. Wag lang ang P&P. Sobrang ewan. hak hak. Pero may friend ako na nagre-read after 9 years. From 2 stars naging 4. Siguro, di pa lang ako prepared when I read this 2 years ago.Pero sa Secret Garden (currently reading), gusto ko yong pagka-maldita noong bata. Actually, bata yata ito throughout the story eh. Unlike yong Little Women na tatanda towards the end. Yong P&P, matanda na talaga. So yong "Women" na theme, very appropriate: women writers, women protagonists. Dito lang sa Secret, girl pa lang ang woman.
Di tatanda si Mary dyan haha di ko matandaan yung ending nyan e. Di ko yata natapos haha pero naaalala kong favorite cartoon ko yan sa TV dati. Si Maria at ang lihim na hardin.Bakit wala Little Princess sa choices?
Hala! Si Maria at ang lihim na hardin. Alam na! X`D
Tricia, TFG 100 din ang The Little Princes. Kaso nag-Little Prince na tayo this year. Baka di na lumaki yong mga growing (pang) members. Mahilig sa "little" hak hak.LS, pero may mga grown up women naman sa "Secret Garden" Andoon si Martha.
Jzhun: Naala-ala ko ang "Perfumed Garden" hak hak
Ay, parang gusto ko na ang The Little Princess kasi nandoon si Bekee.. Haha! :D
Onga. Sige, next year, ila-line up natin. Campaign Manager ka. :)
Hello! Hehehe, nakakatuwa magback read, hehe. Tama na ang Little-little! Malalaki na tayo! LOL. Hehe
Happy Father's Day Kuya Doni and Emir!
About the book, ang haba ng introductory eklat, pero nagulat ako kasi kahit nakakaasar basahin yun mga kakatwang mga ngalan at lugar, napansin kong naeenjoy kong basahin yung libro. :D Hahaha!
P.S. si Elija Wood lagi kong naiimagine at si Magneto't Dombledore kay Gandalf.
Excited.
Magneto't Dombledore si Gandalf. Pede! :)

Pareho yata yong actor na gumanap ng mga roles na yan kaya nai-imagine mo hak hak
K.D. wrote: "Pareho yata yong actor na gumanap ng mga roles na yan kaya nai-imagine mo hak hak"Yes, Sir Ian McKellen was the actor who played the role for both iconic characters. :)
Yes. I shall be an observer to the event. Hirap na hirap ako sa pagbasa ng LOTR. as in. Hindi ko alam kung bakit. Pero nahihirapan akong mamotivate. I shall try my best over this week. Do or die round na ito. Hay.
sad... hindi na approve yung leave ko... sunod nalang ako after ng discussion siguro kasi kailangan ko mag render ng 2 hours OT everyday starting tuesday...
Ang sipag naman, Ace! Puro OT ha haha
Tricia wrote: "Ang sipag naman, Ace! Puro OT ha haha"no choice... take it or take it ang labanan sa trabaho ko... hehehe! 3 days akong natulog at dun n din naligo sa ofc... hahaha!
Grabehan?! Employee of the year ka na, Ace! Haha!
pasaway pa ako sa lagay na yan :)
hi guys,. noobie po ako sa goodreads and sa Filipino group.. pag pumunta po ako sa sat.. pwede bang observer lang ako.. hehe.. while reading through the threads, parang may Q and A portion eh.. hehehe
Okay lang yan nico. May sasalo naman ng tanong for you. Ako rin malaki ang chance maging observer. But i shall watch the movie too. Try and watch the movie para makarelate ka rin. But there are general questions naman that we can answer. :)
Kwesi: Sa Little Women ako, para kapag binasa ko ang March ay prepared na ako.Nico: Ayos lang iyon, may mga newbie observers na before, yun lang observers shouldn't mind spoilers. :)
Angus wrote: "Kwesi: Sa Little Women ako, para kapag binasa ko ang March ay prepared na ako."Flourescent, let's do a Book Buddy. Inaamag na rin ang copy ko. Haha! :D
At Pulitzer winner siya di ba?
Pulitzer ang "March." Hindi ang "Little Women." Baka basahin ko na ang "March" this month. Yan talaga ang next Pulitzer ko eh.
K.D. wrote: "Pulitzer ang "March." Hindi ang "Little Women." Baka basahin ko na ang "March" this month. Yan talaga ang next Pulitzer ko eh."Yes, I was referring to March by Geraldine Brooks, Kuya D. :)
Flora March: After Little Women na, basta sa October. Yep, Pulitzer siya. Coincidentally, ang winner ng NBCC nung taon na iyon ay EL Doctorow's The March
Flowery names. Ano namang pinanggalingan ng mga yan? Nahuli sa Flores de Mayo hak hak.

hahaha! di naman ako spoiler.. hehehe.. :)
Oh, don't worry too much about not being able to answer questions. No one will sneer at you or kill you hak hak. Since this is a book discussion and your personal interpretation will definitely come into play, there is no right or wrong answers. There are also cases when you were sleepy while reading a certain part of the book so missing somethings is understandable. Especially because this is a thick book.
Nico, pakilala ka sa akin para hnd kita tatanungin. :) see you soon!I'm all for Pride and Prejudice!
Ikaw na ang maki-Austen. I don't mind rereading that book pero kung baka mag-Secret Garden ako. Kasi, mas madaling basahin. :)
