Hi Everyone!

I'm new here in Read Philippines and I'm glad I found this community where book lovers can share their love for books to everyone.

I got late in reading books since I started when I was already in my HS years when English and Filipino teachers always required us to read books and make book reports. Reading books was no longer a requirement for me after that as I took interest in the different book genres.

I really started reading book religiously when I got a job after college and vowed that I will always buy one book every payday. Then my cousin also gave me some of her book collection since she was done reading them already.As a result, I still have many books pending...and they're still growing. But this makes me happy because, for me, the more pending books you have, the more you know there's a book waiting to be read after I finished one :) I still believe in reading the actual books than ebooks because I love the fun of turning the page with your hands.

Hope to meet fellow book lovers here too and interact with how much books are very important to us. :)

Thanks

Hi erin! Welcome here in RP! Hope to see you around. I've been reading ebooks for a month but then nothing beats the actual book. =)

hi Erin, welcome to RP ^^,
e-books are handy especially when your pouch/bag only has room for a tablet, but then you're right, actual books are better as you get to turn the pages which also adds to the excitement and pleasure of reading.

Yup, that's one of the reasons I love books....the turning of the pages :D somehow, it's much more intense that way. :)

Hey, Erin! Welcome to RP! :) Glad to know you have a lot on your pile! Exciting! :) I'm more of an e-book reader lately because I move around a lot :) For me, it's the smell of the pages that I love the most in reading an actual book. :)
