This project has been in the drawing board for the last six months or so. I kept on putting it on the backburner little did I know that 2010 has already dawned upon me. On the other hand though, starting off a new year with a new blog has always been a good thing to do. The excitement and thrill of it is just enough reason to compel me to labor for hours in putting together this blog that would be the home of my love for books and my passion for reading.
As you can read from the About page, this would be my personal book blog, a journal of my reading life, habits, discovery and adventures. A place to meet other book lovers and avid readers alike to share good reads and memorable books (book-swapping *ehem*).
I’d be spending more time in the book blogging niche, visit online book clubs, book blogs and definitely join reading challenges! On top of that, I’d be posting here book reviews which would reflect my personal take on the books I’ve just finished reading. Book authors feat not for I am not an expert book critic, I’m just a humble lover of your words and your work.
I have a lot of big plans in store for this blog and I’d be sharing it as this blog grows and more books are stricken off my reading list.
Hopefully you’d stick around for the ride and together we’re going to have a lot of fun reading books and reading even more books.

Congrats Bro! This is one nice blog…love books too! Kung hindi nga lang kasi mahal ang mga libro eh, wahahha!
Thanks bro! Well, hopefully, this blog will help me buy the books I want.
Hi! I’m always glad to welcome a new Pinoy book blogger. And I’m all the more happier this time to learn that he’s also a techie book blogger! ^_^
You mentioned online book clubs so can I recommend Flips Flipping Pages? It’s at Shelfari.com. I’m a member there although I haven’t personally been very active since I joined. Haha!
Hi Patrick! So glad you visited. I’ve been browsing your book blog for the past few days, looking for inspiration. You’re among the first to be included in my blogroll. Just like with books, there’s so many book blogs to visit yet there’s so little time.
I’ve already joined the FFP group, but my little dilemma is to choose which book sharing site to focus on, LibraryThing or Shelfari?
What do you suggest?
I use both but leaning more towards Shelfari because I like its design and the FFP community is there. If you can only manage one then go with Shelfari.
And thanks for the linkback! I’ll be adding you as well in my blogroll now. Can’t wait to read your first book review. I’m particularly curious of what you think of that Dawkins book. Hehe!
I prefer Goodreads.com as a book sharing site-congratulations on your blog-I am always happy to discover another book blog based in the Philippines-I susbscribed to your blog in google reader-
Hi! Nice to know a new book lover. I always like to know what other people are reading. Helps me expand my reading tastes and gets me to read what I normally wouldn’t pick up.
Looking forward to your reviews.
I’ve been meaning to put up my own book blog too, because reviews are actually cluttering my blog.
Someday soon.
Will add this blog to my RSS reader so I’ll see what you’re reading too.
Hello Jhay! Congratulations on your new blog. Glad to have another Filipino book blogger in the community. Hope you enjoy the whole experience
