    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

    Dust and Moonlight by Keta Diablo Scores Again!
    Publisher: Siren Publishing

    Lupa Says: You Need To Read this book!

    Kira Barton swears an oath to the dead girls she will find their killer. What she doesn’t know is that in her pursuit, she will be hurled into the distant past. Balion, Prince of Locke Cress, knows the forest nymph with lavender eyes will come to him. Hasn’t he dreamed of her every night?

    Keta Diablo has done a wonderful job weaving this tale of mystery, passion and adventure. With characters that are well developed, well rounded individuals the story flows well and you end up rooting for the heroes and booing the bad guys.

    Of course you toss in a definitely not typical history for the heroine's parents and it makes for a great story. This book was a real pleasure to read.

    Serial killers, time travel, magic, mayhem, passion, some smoking erotica and a great twist pack the pages of this book to the gills without overwhelming the reader.

    I have to admit I will be finding and reading everything by Ms Diablo that I can get my hands on. A great read for a long, cold winter night.

    If you want to be writer, you can, and don't let anyone tell you can't. It's hard work, yes, but you can learn.

    Best to you, Keta

    Hi Kris A,

    you've been tagged! We play a game in the group Anything Goes, to get people talking to each other and welcome new members.

    I see that you have Midnight Sun on your shelf. When is the book supposed to be out? Is it complete on line? Edward's interpretation of events would be awesome!

    Stop in and talk in the group. Glad to have you as a member!
