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.
I feel a little in panic if I see my TBRs getting lesser.
I don’t review books the way book critics would.
I simply let the readers know if I like the book or not.

GatheringBooks is a resource devoted to celebrate timeless narratives written for the young-at-heart. Through our passion for the written word we wish to develop a collection of our favorite picture books for children (and grown-ups too!) and young adult (YA) literature (as well as some adult fiction)—and share this with fellow book-lovers, inspired teachers, and enthusiastic parents who are aware of the power of narrative and storytelling in shaping and molding young minds.

Location: Philippines
Blog Description: Hi I’m Lucy! And I am Fully Booked’s resident blogger/book maven/reviewer/insider…. whew! I am a lot of these things but I am also a self-confessed geek, book collector, indie lover, graphic novel enthusiast, constant moviegoer and die-hard music fan. 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!

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
