[close] Welcome to It's Personal: a collective gathering of souls, each equipped with their own thoughts, desires, fears, dreams, and secrets. It’s Personal is an outlet of sorts: a place to rant, rave, create, share, fill with gifs, quotes, poems, writing and things that are…well, for lack of a better term, personal. So have at it, create a thread and fill it with whatever. In this world, you might just find you have more in common with others than you thought.

[close] Goodreads - The Filipino Group (GR-TFG) We are Filipinos who love to read anything we get our hands on and who love to meet and discuss these things we read. GR-TFG has been around the web since 2009 and started monthly face-to-face (F2F) book discussions in 2012. Members of the group come from all ages and places, but we all come together for the love of the written word. We love making friends as much as we love reading and hoarding books. You will definitely find a kindred spirit in the group once you attend your first meet-up. So if you're a Filipino and you love to read--whether it's local, chick lit, romance, science fiction, fantasy, young adult, classics, general, or literary fiction novels--you are very welcome here! We do require you to enjoy books and reading when you join this group, but that's only because we can talk about books for hours and we don't want you to feel out of place. Do drop by, say hi, and show up on any of our F2F events. We would love to get to know you. :) P.S.: Most of our discussions happen on Goodreads, but we also have a Facebook group!

[close] Click HERE for the latest group announcements. "It reminded me of _____ but in space." "I read _____ in high school, and it was the only book I actually liked." "It's like a cross between _____ and _____ with a little Harry Potter thrown in." "YOU'VE NEVER READ _____?!?!!?" You know the drill. Your friends reference it, your husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend/"sort of thing?" raves about it, even your favorite movies quote it, or it IS your favorite movie but you've never read the book. This book club is for those of us for whom one of the following may apply... - we have finally developed a taste for reading and are severely behind on classics; - we kindaaa, sortaaa, but actually slept through English class in high school and used Sparknotes/Hollywood remakes to supplement our book reports; - we buy a book that everyone is talking about and it just sits on our shelf, and sits there... and sits there; - we've heard the hype and are finally getting around to reading the actual book; - we want to expand our horizons beyond the single genre we usually read and want to do so with some time-tested material; - we just plain old want to get everyone off our backs for not having read _____. Every month we'll choose three books to read: 1) a classic (that everyone has probably read but us), 2) a "modern" classic or just a really popular book that is likely already on our to-read list but we haven't gotten around to yet, and 3) a "bookshelf" catch-up in which we choose a book the group has already read, from either category, and read again in case some of us missed out the first go around. Come one, come all!
