I have. In fact, I get pretty honest about it in a vlog today.
Oh, but I'm not talking about it here. It's my week over at the Friday the Thirteeners blog, so you'll need to click HERE if you want to see it.
Happy Friday everyone!

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!

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...

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.

Hi, Team Canterwood!
I hope everyone's out of school by now (yaaay, summer!) or at least very close to getting out.
Summer seems like the perfect time to share things that I love, so I'm going to be doing a series of fun summer vlogs!
I'll be doing vlogs with summer book recommendations of my fave reads, a view of my sparkly lipgloss collection and lots of *very* fun things. Plus, as a superawesome bonus BFF/Editor K will be filming some of these so I'm able to move the camera better and be more active in the vlogs. Yay!
Happy summer! :D
PS--The Canterwood Website will be getting a MAJOR makeover this summer and I'll be sure to post when the changes are up.

Omigosh! :) The awesome Book Chic reads from TAKE THE REINS! Thank you, BC! Read his post and see him read from Eileen Cook's book here.
(Everyone's support for TTR means SO much. You all have no idea!)
All the time. I've even been feeling like giving up lately. I won't, but I feel like it.
Anyway, off to have a listen.
I am new to writing and found your vlog truthful but still inspiring! Love the cover for Keeper of the Lost Cities... sounds like an exciting read too.
Great video. I went through the almost-gave-up phase too. Glad I didn't. Had my launch party last night and it felt soooo good!
