    Thanks for the warm welcome and the friend invite. I love that I have people to talk to about Feist, even people I know that read fantasy don't know who he is sometimes, which I think is a shame of course!

    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

    Wow, so sorry it's taken me so long to say thank you! Looking forward to starting on some Feist books I haven't read. I haven't read any in ages, and really need to catch up. Planning to buy them all one at a time over the rest of the year :-) Thanks again!

    I just borrowed a copy from my roommate :D you should really read it. It's a retelling of Sleeping Beauty but he does it with his usual magical flair that the fairy tale became so much more. :D It's difficult to explain. haha. :D read it! :D
