Again, glad you joined up and I look forward to picking at the threads with you.
See you around the shelves.

Hi. The Flips Flipping Pages has another book discussion coming up. Hope you can attend. thanks!

Finoy Foodies - June Book Discussion

Because we love food second to books (order of importance may change depending on time of day), the Flippers will tackle a culinary theme this June. To narrow down the countless choices of books, we zoom in on Filipino food.

See you all
on June 20, 2009. Saturday. 2PM
at Katre Mediterranean Restaurant, 103 Dr. Lascano St. Brgy. Laging Handa, Quezon City
