Win a poster

We have three Twilight movie posters (they’re not too large, but look pretty sweet) to give to the first three people* who comment below with a proper haiku about the Twilight books.

What is a haiku, you wonder? It is a form of poetry popularly from Japan. A haiku has only three lines; they don’t need to rhyme, but the first line must only have five syllables, the second line seven syllables, and the third line five syllables. So an example is;

In Twilight they meet –
Young love’s true dream; but he is
one-hundred-and-eight

Grimm’s (cynical) example is:

Twilight, the movie:
Not long before you can say,
“I preferred the book”.

Go for it!

Good news, everyone

Stephenie Meyer’s latest book in her Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, sold so many copies when it was released in England over the weekend that booksellers are comparing it to the Harry Potter books. I’m not sure how well it sold in NZ, but judging from the number of reserves it is very popular. So popular that we’re purchasing more copies of all the Twilight books – if you’re in the reserve queue your copy should arrive a bit sooner now.

Reserve Breaking Dawn here. The rest of the series can be found in this earlier post.
