an introverted daydreamer, occasional slacker, slow reader, acknowledged wallflower...

and currently much too embroiled in other affairs to have a healthy leisure reading time. so, yeah, it's going to be a really unproductive year for me book-wise this time around...*deep regretful sigh* more »

    Author Island.com says

    Hey it's DeNita - how long does it usually take for books to become available on your side of the world? Do they all become available or do you have only limited releases?

    That's a bit of a bummer - do you read a lot of ebooks? So you can get those as soon as they come out?

    Thanks for the friendship and hope you'll stop by the Island some time as visit all our authors - www.AuthorIsland.com

    Take care and enjoy the holiday!

    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

    Ray says

    Hahaha Of course not. It's just a 'one hell of a fan'!lol I also like some of your favorites like Lovely Rita and Two of Us. My most favorite Beatle song ever is 'Something'. I also like the music video wherein the fab four's partners on that time were also there. Anyway, thanks for sharing your favorites but I'm still looking forward to talk to you about the band. I'm not just a Beatles fanatic, (I'm not also the new era Mark David Chapman.lol) i'm a fan of biographies of the famous people. Thanks again for the time. Happy Reading!:-)

    Ray says

    Haha ok I understand but if you're going to ask me, the Beatles' songs that I like are the songs from "Yellow Submarine" to "Let it be". It was a time when the group let their moustache and beard grows.lol :-) It's because the songs on that time became matured, very deep, and slightly political.

    Thanks for the recommendation on "The Shadow of the Wind." I'm really interested to read it. This "question" generated the most comments (all in favor, I might add) about a book that I've ever received. Thanks again!

    Hi ricca the reading lover, cool picture! If you like quirky books check this out. Go to my profile and click onto "about me" to read a short excerpt from my book. I had severe OCD, anxiety attacks, and depression for over thirty years but finally had enough and over came most of it. I wrote a quirky book called Man Interrupted that details how I did it. It's told in a funny way as in, "trying to confront my drug fears I end up having a drug dealer chasing me." I had all kinds of obsessions about germs etc. etc. I would turn faucets off with my feet, and so on! Go to www.amazon.com to check it out or pop into a Barnes and Noble or any bookstore. Let me know. I'm working on the screenplay now. best James.
