Philippines

[close] A gathering for Filipino book lovers.

[close] For one day, May 14th, I will be at your beck and call. Ask me anything at all - about AmalgaNations, writing, meaning of life, tips on debt reduction - and I shall respond in Near Real Time. And! By the miracle of the internet, I will also be doing a Reddit Books Ask Me Anything AT THE SAME TIME (7pm EST (US); 9am AEST (AUS)

[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] A place to discuss all the unique aspects of Deaf culture as highlighted in the thriller Silent Fear (A novel inspired by true crimes) by Lance & James Morcan. This group can also be an intersection of sorts where Deaf and hearing people can engage and learn from each other.
