Last--but CERTAINLY not least--we have the absolutely amazing Kimberly Derting. You've seen Elana Johnson, me, Beth Revis, and Suzanne Young get caught up with Liar Society fever.
Now it's time to watch Kim TRY to resist LiLa's books Siren call--and fail epically. Enjoy!
Hope you guys enjoyed these vlogs as much as we enjoyed making them. If you did--I promise, THE LIAR SOCIETY is even better. If you didn't--uh, don't worry, THE LIAR SOCIETY is nothing like these.
And because we seriously cannot tell you how much you all NEED to read this book, Beth, Elana, and I (though guys, I'll confess, it was mostly Beth and Elana) organized a LIAR SOCIETY contest of epic proportions--starting Monday. Here's all the details
To enter, all you have to do is one (or both!) of the following:
- Tweet! Use the hashtag #liarsociety (so we can find you). If you have pinkified your avatar in some way, you get an extra entry. We'll randomly be selecting one hashtag user Monday through Friday next week. (PS: @ reply @landlroecker and they'll pink your hair FOR you. So no excuses.)
- Blog! Just put our button for THE LIAR SOCIETY somewhere on your blog, preferably front and center where it's easy to spot. And we made that easy for you, too--just copy and paste the code under the button and it'll show up in your blog easy-peasy, all linked up and ready to go.

Before I start today's post, there's something that has to be said.
Yesterday, the writing world suffered a tremendous loss when the amazingly talented and wonderful woman, L.K. (Lisa) Madigan, lost her fight to pancreatic cancer. I'd never had the pleasure of knowing her beyond blogs and Twitter, but I adored her both online and on the page. And she was friends with so many of my friends, I've felt this loss very deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with all suffering through this loss.
Part of me wondered if I should hold off today's TLS festivities. But Lisa was such a joyous, supportive person, I have a feeling she would want us to go on, to keep talking about happy things, about great books, to keep supporting friends with fun and laughter.
So that's what I'm going to do, but with a slightly heavy heart. And I find myself compelled to add that if you haven't had a chance to read FLASH BURNOUT or THE MERMAID'S MIRROR, I highly recommend you do. Lisa was kind enough to leave behind these stories for us to hold to, now that she's left us. Savor them--they're a tremendous literary legacy.
And...I think that's enough sadness for one day.
It's time to focus on something truly hilarious. This is not really a Bookanista post today, because we're continuing with The Liar Society Fangirls videos. But since TLS is an AWESOME book I highly recommend (you can read my review HERE) I'm counting it for the Bookanistas too.
You've seen Elana Johnson, me, and Beth Revis all go...a little crazy for THE LIAR SOCIETY. But NO ONE goes quite as crazy as Suzanne Young. You'll see what I mean...
I don't care how many times I watch that--it STILL makes me giggle.
And come back tomorrow when Kimberly Derting shows us why resistance is futile when it comes to this book. See you then!

Okay, you've seen Elana Johnson go pink. You've seen me go insane (and pink). Now let's see what happens to Beth Revis when she lets THE LIAR SOCIETY into her life:
Anyone else think she should go pink all the time? It really IS her color!
Tomorrow we have Suzanne Young--and I'm not lying when I say I actually snorted when I first watched her footage. Do NOT miss it. :)

Okay, so yesterday you saw the frawesome Elana Johnson get taken over by THE LIAR SOCIETY. And today...it's my turn.
And um...fair warning. This is DEFINITELY the biggest dose of Shannon Shame I've ever given you. Only for LiLa, and their amazing book.

So here's the deal. A few weeks ago I was included in an EPIC email chain from some of my favorite writers, wanting to brainstorm ideas for a way to show the blogosphere just how incredible THE LIAR SOCIETY, by Lisa and Laura Roecker, is.
Too bad I don't live in America! Lame! Oh well! I loved these vlogs. You guys are hilarious. Oprah is TOTALLY going to call.
How does she leave voice mails so fast? It's inhuman!
I've already pre-ordered Liar Society. :D
Wow, I hope this means Kim's third book isn't delayed because of Suzanne. I just read DoD and can't wait for the next one.
We're crying over here! How did you guys do this???? First of all, you have no time! Second of all, HOW DO YOU HAVE A FINISHED BOOK?!?!?!?! We haven't seen them yet!!!!! And the message at the end? We lost it. You guys are awesome. Thank you for a week we'll never forget.
"Hey guys, can someone remember to lock the door tonight?" <--Hilarious. These videos were all so fun to watch. Can't wait to read The Liar Society!
I had to go back and catch up on the last few days. Totally HYSTERICAL. It's hard to pick a favorite!!!! So I won't but I have to say Suzanne Young in the corner on the floor lookin' like an addict sort of made me lose it.hahahhah
This was epically awesome.
Awesome video! I love it. I did put the button on my blog. Yay!
These were so great! You guys are so awesome for putting these together...and they were really fun to watch.
These have been fantastic!! Love the energy and friendship! :) Now we have to see what Oprah thinks... :)
