Hi Jem! I'm from the Author Author group and just wanted to welcome you to our group. As you might already know, January's "featured" author is Neil Gaiman, and we have two "secondary" authors, Ursula Le Guin and Terry Pratchett. If you're interested, you can choose a book written by one of these three authors, and after you've read it, please come post a review and star rating so the rest of us in the group know what you read and whether you liked it or not. Happy Reading!I know my welcome is a bit late, but we're just getting caught up!
Hi Jem! how are you? what are you reading right now?Im reading Diana Gabaldon's Outlander and enjoying it, it has a sort of time travel (back to 1700's) in Scotland. I read a few pages of Bridges of Sigh a month ago, but i got sidetracked and read something else. How's the book? Nabasa mo na?

Hi Jem! I found a copy of Bridge of Sighs at NBS Ayala Mall here in Cebu!! Ok lang ba, i wont grab your copy? By the way, how do u find Venetian Wife? Sounds interesting..
ok. Great! Hope to see you by Oct..
Hi Jem! Were you able to grab the Bridge of Sighs? I visited NBS here, there wasnt much good titles on sale. Their sale bins didnt have the same displays compared to NBS in Manila area.
thanks jem! i'll give you my new mobile phone number later, i'll be using a new phone no. beginning tomorrow.
Not really in a hurry, my TBR file is growing. But i would like to get hold of it maybe by Oct when i visit Manila. How much was it? If sale yon, much better..i bought lots of books at NBS Trinoma at P99! Happy talaga ako :-)
Hi Jem! Can u look it up for me? if on sale yon, i would gladly re-imburse you.. Im in Cebu but i travel to Manila also for meetings. I was in Manila aug 27-30..
