timesofsilence asked: ooh~ A Haruki Murakami giveaway! I've been drawn into his style of writing ever since I read After Dark two years ago, and ironically, it happens to be my favorite book. Question, though. Can I trust that the giveaway is legitimate?

rob89 asked: I actually really love South of the Border West of the Sun, maybe more so than Norweigian Wood. I think Norweigian Wood is probably his best book though....if that makes any sense. I just feel more connected to SotB,WotS.

Birthday Stories - Giveaway!!!
Okay so as I don’t have much free time I’m keeping this simple. Reblog this post as many times as you like. This is open for one week until the 4th Feb 2012. I will use a random online generator to choose a winner. I will post anywhere in the world that my post office will deliver to. I can’t be held responsible if the postal service lose it though. I will not do anything...

So it seems...
people are interested in the book giveaway :) I’ll get something up by the end of the week… I’m not sure yet whether to do just a simple ‘reblog and win’ thing or actually do a contest of some sort. Either way I’ll have it up by Friday :)
