Hi everyone! My name's Sheila, but well you can also call me 'blackcoffhee'. :D

First off, I think it's real cool having a forum like this for bookworms! I've been doing some catching up on my book list recently and well I've also been feeling quite lonely when randomly I thought, how awesome would it be if there's some sort of a book club out there I can join! And then that led me to do some Google-ing, and thus I chanced upon this forum. :)

I've liked reading since little but I think my book obsession really started in high school when I was introduced to some obsession-inducing books, namely the 'Wheel of Time' series by Robert Jordan. Since then, my tastes have revolved around the fantasy genre and classics (thanks to required readings during English class). Aside from Robert Jordan, I also like Neil Gaiman's works after falling in love with his 'Sandman' graphic novels. I've also read and liked books by Piers Anthony, Jaqueline Carey and currently, I'm trying out Robin Hobb with her 'Liveship Traders' trilogy. On the classics side, my absolute favorites are 'The Cather in the Rye', 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Les Miserables'.

I think that' should be enough for for my self-intro! I look forward to all the book discussions and reading suggestions and well, I hope we all have fun here! :D

(oh, and I enjoy reading manga as well! :P)

Hi black coffee! Welcome to RP. I love Catcher in the Rye too. Holden Caulfield, hero. :) And Atticus Finch. How cool is that name? Sandman is in my to collect list. And I read manga too :)

There are other Neil Gaiman fans out here. Some you may meet if you're up to it. We've had a meet-up twice. We've talked about books and had fun and games. And some souls were nice enough to give away prizes or lend books. Hope there'll be more and that you can join :)

Wow! That's good to know, I don't have a lot of friends who like the books/authors I like so I've been aching to talk about them! :D

Also, I've never been active in forums before but I feel like I want to be active in one now for a change. Thanks again for the warm welcomes! :D

Welcome, Sheila! :)

What a coincidence... one of my friends lent me the first book of Wheel of Time. Have you finished reading all the books so far? Mukhang maganda nga yun. Btw, please feel free to join our discussions. You could join our discussion for the book of the month. For November, the book we're discussing is Cujo by Stephen King :D

Regarding Wheel of Time, I haven't read the last book yet- I'm still preparing my heart for it, lol! Sa umpisa, nahirapan ako basahin yung Book 1 siguro kasi character and world introductions pero para akong na-jolt pagdating sa ending nya. That was the time I got hooked and I just couldn't wait to read the 2nd book and so on... :)

I'm psyched to join the discussions kaso medyo busy pa ko ngayon sa real life, but once I can manage to, definitely! :)

PS. Which reminds me, I have yet to read a book by Stephen King... I'm too afraid of the nightmares his books might bring baka masyado ako ma-disturb, lol
