I enjoy reading contemporary fiction, memoirs and biographies (no political figures or celebrities, please), some YA, historical references and novels, and the occasional chick lit for when I’m feeling grumpy and bogged down.

I also love bookplates and bookmarks, and have been collecting them for years.

    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
