1Q84 Giveaway.
I finished reading it a few weeks ago, and now it’s just sitting on my shelf with the other Murakami books I’ve read. I feel like it belongs in someone else’s hands now, because it was truly an amazing novel. 1Q84 is an international best seller. Simply reading Murakami’s novels will make you want to escape into his world. I’ll ship internationally. And I’ll throw a nice note with the book, too.
Rules are plain and simple.
1.) There’s no need to follow me at all.
2.) Just reblog the post, as much as you’d like.
Since it’s Friday today, the contest will end next Friday at midnight eastern time. February 10th, 2012. The winner will be randomly chosen.
“This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope.“ ―1Q84.

Quiet Girl and my tumblr have been around for over a year and for that, I’d like to thank all those who have been following my work and my online pages. In gratitude, I present to you this giveaway.
Every time a person asks about Moleskine Notebooks, I immediately recommend Avalon.ph. There is no other place to buy the cheapest Moleskines in the Philippines. I tied up with Avalon.ph for this contest because I believe their store deserves a lot of attention. It’s been helping people acquire rare and collectible books, Moleskine notebooks and novelty items for the past 10+ years. Read the rest of the story here.
Get a chance to win one of the following:
SET A: A Moleskine Sketchbook and a 3-piece signed print set
SET B: A letter set comprised of a 4x5.5” blank notebook designed by me, 3 signed prints and 1 bookmark.HOW TO WIN?
Simple! All you need to do is ONE (1) of the following:- For Twitter users: Tweet “Quiet Girl and Avalon.ph is giving you an opportunity to win your very own Moleskine and a couple of signed prints! http://bit.ly/moleskinelove“ (+1 point)
- For Tumblr users: Follow my tumblr and reblog this entry. (+1 point)

You can answer this question on the tumblr post you reblogged, on the comment form below, on my Facebook Page, OR on your blog (don’t forget to notify me about it). You only need to post your answer in 1 of these places to get +5 points!
You can accumulate a total of 10 points. The more points you have, the better chances of winning. I will select 2 winning entries using a random number generator. Only a Philippine resident can win SET A (unfortunately international shipping is too expensive because the Moleskine is heavy). SET B is open to everyone.
