wow! very good compre list. hmmm, so where do i start? basta i'll keep referring back to this article na lang. thanks armi! sana you write your own book na rin! galing ka sa story telling eh.
mam armi! hahaha i saw my name here! :) talaga po? the books are still with me? check ko po ha. uhoh. :) thanks!
With you i'd say, start with the light ones. The rest, kasi really depends on your areas of interest.
As for The Book, that is still a dream, that's why i'm blogging,and taking up a course. Although I have a unique style, I findy my writing still mediocre. So practice,practice muna.
Puto, yeah, check it ha-ha-ha. My books are like my kids, I treasure them. By the way, nice cover shot huh!
