Brief Description: This blog features sorts of books that I read.
I am very passionate about reading.
In fact, I would rather stay at home and read all day if I could.

You can say that I almost live inside the bookshop because I’m always here, hanging out between the shelves, following the staff around, snooping for tidbits about the goings-on in the literary world. Books have fascinated me since I was very, very small which is why I feel so at home here. Hang around and let’s discover a world of never-ending stories together!

I Flip Pages

Blog Name: I Flip Pages

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

Location: Paranaque City

Brief Description: I buy books. And sometimes I read them. This blog is for the times when I do more than just store shelf candy.

My shelf candy is an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction. My fiction faves include works of Jose Saramago and Margaret Atwood. My non-fiction collections mirror my varied interests: travel, art, writing, food, fashion, and my Christian faith. I collect biographies and different versions and translations of The Little Prince. As a teacher and trainer, I also have a rich pile of resources on marketing, leadership, and communication that I hope to read in this lifetime.

For 2010, I’m trying to flip through the pages of 70 books. Stress on the word “trying.” I also challenged myself to read 26 authors I have not read before. http://www.shelfari.com/groups/48066/about

I don’t blog religiously, and attempting to review all the books I’ve read will require incredible focus and discipline; words not usually mentioned in the same sentence with my name. But I try. My blog also includes stories of my adventures with my book club — Flips Flipping Pages http://tinyurl.com/flipsflippingpages, a support group for book addicts who never ever want to be cured.

Favorite Authors: Jose Saramago, Jose Rizal, Margaret Atwood, Robert Fulghum
