About

I think this looks like me. :)Hi! Welcome to One More Page, my book blog. I’m Tina (sometimes known as Tinamats), from the Philippines. You may have read my (old) personal blog at some point, so you may already be familiar. :) I used to review books in my personal blog but I realized that they were overwhelming my personal one when my friends complained about it, so this blog is born.

I love to read and write, so book blogging somewhat comes naturally for me. I’m no literature expert though — in fact, my day job is all about computers and web. I graduated with a computer-related degree, but that didn’t stop me from reading and writing and reading some more.

I’m a fairly talkative person so most of my reviews are long and personal, because I try to find the book’s connection in my life. I try to be honest with every review I write, though, so I guess you can count on that. :) My book collection can be found in my Goodreads account. Most of the books I enjoy reading recently fall under chick lit, Christian fiction, young adult fiction, particularly speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, dystopian, etc) and contemporary. I also read my share of classics, but I find that I read those books slowly because it takes a while for my head to get into the language. I’m not much into historical fiction, or political or horror, and I’m rather lukewarm on non-fiction books. Graphic novels are rare for me, but I enjoy them every now and then. I’m very open to book recommendations, so if you think there’s a book that I’d enjoy (regardless of the genre), feel free to leave a comment or send me an email through the form below. :)

Other than reading, I write and participate yearly in National Novel Writing Month (I’m one of our region’s Municipal Liaisons — hey Philippines!) — I’ve never published a novel, though, but that doesn’t stop me from writing. I also like running, dancing, traveling and good food. I squee over cute cats and dogs, tigers, sunflowers, stars, Grimace and Cookie Monster. :)

All my reviews are listed here, and if you want to see what reading challenges I’ve joined this year, you may see them here (encouragements and suggestions highly appreciated). If you’re an author or a publisher and you want me to review your book, my review policy is here. I love hearing from my visitors, so leave a comment anywhere, or drop me a line through hello[at]tinamats[dot]com or through the form below. Don’t be shy, say hi! :)

And no, that picture isn’t me, but I still stand by my speculation that I look like her. Photo is Gretchen from Stephen Emond’s Happyface. :) He did send me this one last February 2011:

That’s pretty accurate. :)

      (Wow this reply is totally late)

      Hi Mark David! I have a lot of friends who are computer people but also love reading and are blogging about books now. :) I think we all need a break from all the techie stuff and go back to old-fashioned printed words every now and then. :)

    Wow. That was very strange. I just wrote a message and hit me enter key to go down a space and the msg was gone!
    So, I just wanted you to know that I am solo blogging now. I don’t know if it’s going around or not? I’d like for you to come check it out and still stop by every now and then as I will do the same in return!
    Have a lovely night!
    Amy
