So These Broken Stars by the lovely Meagan Spooner and our very own Amie Kaufman (eee!) comes out in mere days. Can you guys believe it? After all this waiting and the growing insanity that is the These Broken Stars buzz machine, this awesome sci-fi (think Titanic meets Battlestar Gallactica season 3) will finally be in stores!
To celebrate the book’s fast-approaching launch, Meg and Amie decided to send the dress featured on the book’s stunning cover (glance to the right to see said dress) to a handful of friends and let us all goof off as we saw fit. Basically, we have become a sisterhood of the traveling dress—and seriously, this dress has traveled across the entire US! HOW COOL, right?
Monday, Marie Lu shared her goofy pic of the dress enjoying some…Christmas shopping perhaps? (I’m as confused as you, Marie!)
Tuesday, Diana Peterfruend got whimsical and story-themed with the dress as she traipsed through a beautiful autumn forest. (Diana: I envy your current lack of snow. Come tell my climate to stop snowing all day long.)
Wednesday, Leigh Bardugo told the dress to shut up during a movie. Darn precocious dress!
Thursday…oh wait! That’s me!! It’s my turn to share to my goofy photo, and so without further ado, I offer up the next great science fiction classic:
These Broken Lightbulbs
What do you think? Is These Broken Lightbulbs guaranteed to be a bestseller or what?
Okay, okay…so maybe it isn’t gonna hit any lists, but These Broken Stars just might! And to celebrate the book’s release and dress’s fabulous tour, I’m giving away a copy of the hardcover + book cover poster! All you have to do is leave a comment displaying your level of excitement for this series (is your anticipation as explosive as ours?) and fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Then in a week, we’ll pick a winner!
Oh, and don’t miss the pre-order offer for a poster of the These Broken Stars cover! You can learn more about the campaign here.
AMIE KAUFMAN and MEAGAN SPOONER are longtime friends and sometime flatmates who have traveled the world (but not yet the galaxy), covering every continent between them. They are sure outer space is only a matter of time. Meagan, who is also the author of the Skylark trilogy, currently lives in Asheville, NC, while Amie lives in Melbourne, Australia. Although they currently live apart, they are united by their love of space opera, road trips, and second breakfasts.

As a seamstress geek, by the way, I am drooooooling over that fabric!
I am SO excited for December 10, where These Broken Stars would be on shelves. :D<3

I have been dying to read this book all year so you betcha I’m about as excited as everyone else!
I ADORED this book. 🙂 It’s one of my favourites of the year. I’m loving the These Broken Lightbulbs too…that would be epic. I can just imagine Tarver coming to save the day. 😉

I always enjoy a great scifi read every once in a while. Im so excited for These Broken Stars! Btw Susan look so great in that picture. You are stunning!
Sci-fi is something I’ve always enjoyed. It’s so much fun to get caught up in something that seems so plausible, but isn’t happening to me.
I absolutely love TBS, and can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I’m so excited I’m buying pre-ording a copy for my friend for Christmas so we can both enjoy the awesomeness that is this book and cover! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! Yay sci-fi.
I’m not really into sci-fi but I wanna try and I hope this book would let me love that genre! 😀
I’m super excited to read this book since I heard so many great things about it. I can hardly wait >.< and the cover is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the giveaway.
1. I’ve been anticipating this book like craaaazy ever since Sarah Maas gushed about it on Twitter during its drafting / pre-pub stages. I love space operas, I love upstairs-downstairs romances. I love Firefly, Titanic, BSG, Doctor Who, Downton Abbey — basically every single pop culture reference this book has been compared to! So, I’ve wanted this book foreeeeeever! And it drops in a few more days I can hardly wait aaaaaah!
2. The fact that it’s only received glowing reviews thus far has me counting down the days. I also read an excerpt that left me salivating for moar!
3. Sooz, can I just say, you look DROP DEAD GORGEOUS in that dress! I know its a Travelling Dress, but dayum girl, you should get one just like it! 😛
I love, love, love the cover and I’m dying to read the book!!
YES AND YES! I’m really looking forward to reading this book!!! I loooove sci-fi! The dress is stunning! ♥.♥
I LOVE Sci-Fi and I am super excited to read this book!!
WOW…. what up GORGEOUS Susan Dennard!! I’ve heard this book is absolutely amazing!! I can’t wait to read it!
I normally tend to stay in paranormal and fantasy; however, I am a HUGE fan of survival stories, and everyone keeps raving about how Tarver and Lilac must work together to survive the crash, so I’m dying to read TBS to find out if/how they make it out. I saw a vlog of Kat Kennedy, from Cuddlebuggrry, reading excerpts of TBS and acting out the parts using a My Little Pony, bobble-head Loki, and the Doctor Who tardis, and now I MUST have more! I can’t wait until next Tues so that I can have this beaut arrive on my doorstep!
I love sci fic and have always loved anything that deals with space so I am REALLY REALLY REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK.
I remember the days when the book had no cover and I would stalk it hoping for some sort of information about when this wonderful book would come out.
And now there are only a couple of days left. 🙂
I am SUPER excited to read this book! I have seen this book on every blog! And the cover of the book is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
I really enjoy sci-fi, so I am REALLY want to read this book! I have heard AMAZING things about it and want to check it out for myself. And I looove the dress! <3

I was excited to uncover this website. I need to to thank you for ones time for this fantastic read!!
I definitely really liked every little bit of it and I have you saved to
fav to check out new things on your site.
Appreciating the time and energy you put into your site and in depth information you provide.
It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same unwanted rehashed material.
Great read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.
Howdy! I know this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
Does running a well-established blog like yours require a
massive amount work? I am completely new to running a blog but I
do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can share my experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!
Howdy! Someone in my Myspace group shared this
site with us so I came to look it over. I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking
and will be tweeting this to my followers! Fantastic blog and wonderful
design and style.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this website.
He was totally right. This put up truly made my day.
You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
Thank you!
Superb blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring
writers? I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m
a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a
free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
Any recommendations? Thanks!
