Been purging the bookshelf again for more books to giveaway (or sell, although, I've yet to see buyers).  I've already cut the book stuff in half last year.  But I'm still left with alot.  While there are a few books I will never ever give away, I do have some now that I'm willing to part with.

Hence, a book contest!

Some of these books are in really good condition (most are wrapped in plastic cover), while others are in a pretty bad shape (specifically The DaVinci Code) mainly cos I got them second hand that way.  No lost pages or anything that horrible though.

The Book List:

♥ The Constant Gardener by John le Carre

♥ A Spy in the House of Love by Anais Nin

♥ Orosa-Nakpil, Malate by Louie Gangenangeo

♥ Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

♥ When the Messenger is Hot (short stories) by Elizabeth Crane

♥ Life of Pi by Yann Martel

♥ Supertoys Last All Summer Long and other stories of Future Time by Brian Aldiss

♥ The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant

♥ A Stone Gone Mad by Jacquelyn Park

♥ Oranges are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

♥ Fairy Tales Mother Never Told You by Benjamin Eakin

♥ Three Early Novels by Philip K. Dick

♥ Strange Angels by Andy Bull

Heavy Water by Martin Amis

♥ Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction by Sue Townsend

♥ Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom

♥ Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas by Bob Ong

♥ A Case in Need by Michael Crichton

♥ The Alienist by Caleb Carr

♥ The Long Dark Tea-time of the Soul by Douglas Adams

♥ Red Dragon by Thomas Harris

♥ Class by Erich Segal

♥ The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

♥ Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex

Here are the rules:

1.  Pick any book you like from the list.

2.  Write in your blog why you want that book.

3.  Include in your blog post the words cigarette-girl with a link back to my site: http://cigarette-girl.com

4.  Leave the link to your post in the comment section, and your email address.

5.  Once somebody posted an entry for book A, I start counting 5 days, and if no else posts an entry for it, then it's yours.  If another person wants the book though, I check which one has a nicer entry and give it to the winner.

I have one condition though:  You have to be living in metro manila cos I'll just be handing you the book.  I'm too lazy to do postal.  Sorry.

I will inform the winner through email.  I'll be crossing-out books from the list as soon as somebody won it.  Contest will run all throughout the month of January until there are no books left or I'm gone, whichever comes first.

p.s. books with ♥ means that somebody wrote something about it already.
