Brief Description: Simple Clockwork aims to sort out complexities in life, love, and books. It used to be just a personal journal but it has evolved into a book blog. Through my blog, I have been receiving requests for reviews and meeting great authors. The scope of genres I cover and review includes Christian Fiction, Children’s Books, Mystery, Regency Romance, General Fiction, and Fantasy. Every now and then, I still put up personal reflections about life in general on my blog. I would love to hear from you. I hope you could drop by.

Brief Description: This is my e-library containing all the books that I have purchased, read and part of my collections. It also provides a list of various books, including book reviews, book covers, and authors that inspire me to read more and be an avid fan of their characters. This blogsite is the gateway to my proposed mini-library in my hometown (Sibuyan Island, Romblon) where everyone could visit and spend time to read my collections for free! If you want to donate books, I’m very please to arrange for any form of partnerships and rest assured that this will be acknowledged for taking part in the project. Hope you will enjoy the site and be inspired to own one or more of these books; and be able to discover the power of book sharing in this modern world of blogging. “No reason at all not to read and share or give a book…”

Mambabasang Pinoy

Blog name: Mambabasang Pinoy

Blog URL: http://mambabasangpinoy.wordpress.com

Location: Imus, Cavite

Brief Description: Masarap magbasa ng libro!

Mula sa mga kuwentong horror ni Stephen King, high fantasy ni JRR Tolkien, hard fiction ni Larry Niven, legal thrillers ni John Grisham, romance stories ni Nicholas Sparks, suspense novels ni Mary Higgins Clark, thrillers ni James Patterson, at kung anu-ano pa. Ayos din ang mga comic books at graphic novels. From Sandman to Marvel to DC. Talagang hindi masasayang ang iyong oras kapag nagbabasa ka.

Pero napansin ko, karamihan sa mga nagbabasang Pinoy ay mahilig sa mga foreign books. Siguro naman ay halos lahat ng mga mambabasang Pinoy ay nabasa na ang Harry Potter, Twilight, The Da Vinci Code, at marami pa. Maganda naman kasi talaga.

Pero marami din tayong magagandang libro. Marami tayong magagaling na manunulat, hindi lang si Bob Ong. Kayat ilalaan ko muna ang aking oras sa pagbabasa ng mga akdang Pinoy. Inaanyayahan ko rin kayo na basahin ang mga libro na gawa ng ating mga manunulat. Marahil ay hindi niyo sila masyadong kilala. Ako rin, halos di ko sila kilala. Ngunit sama-sama natin silang kilalanin at pasyalan ang mundong kanilang nilikha.

Tara na, mga Mambabasang Pinoy.

Blog URL: http://ficsation.blogspot.com

Location: somewhere in the Philippines

Brief Description: Ficsation is made up of random thoughts on things I’ve read (and other mundane, personal matters). I graduated with a Literature degree and I used to write for a living (research, publications, advertising). While those didn’t turn me into an expert, they certainly made reading and writing a way of life for me.
