message 9: by DC (new)

DC (disguisedcyclone) | 437 comments Hi guys!

I'd actually just like to confirm if you're still looking for books of the genres you noted in the other thread ( http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1... )

"We are looking for YA books, classics, inspirational / spiritual books, and even fiction books that will help in their formation. We don't really want to have too many duplicates so we have variety in our donation, so we will keep track of the list of books we will receive."

Also, are duplicates okay nevertheless? Thank you!


message 10: by Angus (new)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments DC: Yes to both questions. Duplicates are accepted, but we'd like to give as many unique titles as we can for the sake of variety. :)

Angus (angusmiranda) | 4337 comments Deadline is on the Book Covering Day. April 13 yata. Check out the other threads for the schedule. Nice to see you back here!

I think so! KEOF has a collection of children's books din, pero medyo luma na. :) We will have an interaction with their teens, but KEOF supports several communities with kids so those books will be useful din. :)

No need. Maybe you can just update Message 2 to reflect the actual books donated like last year. That way, the members have an idea of the kinds of books to give and donors are given credit. I'll just cut-and-paste from there so I can keep tabs on the books that are with me. Thanks Angus! :)

Aww, Monique :( But you'll be there on the 20th, yes?

DC, we definitely need more Filipino books!
