    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

    hi luan,
    I'm in California. You have kids? They're great aren't they? I have one. Are you a domestic or international flight attendant? It must great to go from one country to another.
    I'm still working on Matthew Reilly's Seven Deadly Wonders. Its not not the best historical fiction book I've read so far. I mean it is, I guess I'm partial to the writer.
    happy reading...

    hi luan,
    I like luan, it sounds nice.
    What do you do for a living? I have plenty of relatives there in the Philippines. They are scattered throughout but a good concentration in the Bicol region.
    Take care.

    hi sandi, i finished two of artemis fowl pa lang. very young reader kind, makes me feel young. inkheart trilogy, i think too many things happened in inkdeath which made it somewhat magulo minsan haha twilight saga was the last "can't-put-down" reading so far

    I just finished the latest Artemis fowl book (7th, I think) and although it got a little confusing it was still fun to read. :D
    I've been on an Inkheart trilogy high for the past month though I agree that at times things got a bit confusing in Inkdeath. (I've read all the twilight books and it was, uhm, very "kilig." hehe) I loved the fact that the characters literally came to life in the series. Dream come true yun for bibiophiles everywhere. :P
