    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.

Interview with Kimberly Derting and yes a giveaway!!!

Wow these contest are really adding up. I should have done one HUGE contest for all the books i'm giving away, but authors are very busy people and I didn't know when I would have which interviews back so I just separated them. So anyways, there's this book coming out in March called The Body Finder, i'm mostly sure you've heard of it but if not here's the trailer, watch it! Now that you know about this awesome book, how about an interview with the author! Yes, Kimberly has been kind enough to stop by and answer a few questions. Q: To start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? A: Let’s see…I live in the Northwest with my husband and our three kids. I’m always surrounded by teenagers (my kids and their friends), which I think helps with my writing. Sometimes I’ll ask for their opinions on dialogue. Sometimes I just eavesdrop and call it “research.” Q: For those reading that don't already know, what is The Body Finder about? A: Sixteen-year...

My favorite song to sing is, “Aiden is the hero.” I make up the words when I hear music. I like to listen to old songs, guy songs, not princess songs. There’s always a song around me. Like in the movies, when the music tells you things about what’s about to happen. I listen to it, and that’s how I know what to sing.

Wow! This is my 300th post on this blog. *tears up* It's definitely been a fun-filled journey reaching this point.
