i'm shy!! but I will post a haiku for this book! i don't know the theme for the haiku so I'm sticking with the traditional nature-theme of haikus.
"red dawn and blue sky
burns up the sea
swallowing the darkness beneath."

This contest was too much fun to pass up. Haikus?! Great idea! Even though I followed you on Twitter (@olsonkayla) I don't think I should officially enter. I already have an ARC, and don't want to hoard the awesome. I did want to write a haiku, though, because it sounded fun.

OK, I love this contest!!! I'm dying to read the book, but as I'm not a good writer, I wrote something easy this time. Here we go:
I'll even come there
If I win the book I want
More than I can say
So, that's it, I know it's childish, but let's just say I love books but I'm no writer...more like a reader. And just so you'll know though I'm a new follower I just LOVE your blog.

What a phenomenal idea for a contest: I adore Haikus...writing them can be another thing though!
Here we go then:
Thousands of bright lives,
All frozen in cold statis,
Their fate yet unknown.
Better than nothing I suppose.

Fun contest, and I really, really REALLY want this book, so here goes!
My old life is gone,
now light years away from me,
the stars my new home.
Good luck to everyone who enters!
