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

I see you are new around here, you might enjoy Better than Starbucks
http://www.shelfari.com/groups/23648/about

Better than Starbucks is one of the fastest growing literary/social groups on Shelfari, with good reason. the membership (not so much me, the founder) is literate and diverse, and by and large very intelligent. The name of the group comes from an argument that led to the founding.

You can check out the following thread to understand a bit the naming:

By the way, you will be welcome to ramble at BTS:)
