My Thoughts:

It was great!

It was amazing!

It was…pink?

So I am not such a huge fan of the pinkness but otherwise it was a great read. I could feel the air of mystery; it was strong throughout the book up to the very last page. Kate was like a super sleuthing ninja, picking up clues where ever she went. Now Kare is a HUGE fan of Liam but I find myself relating to Seth so I am on the unofficial Team Seth!!  He was sort of nerdy and so am I! Lisa and Laura Roecker shine like rock stars in this debut novel. (Thanks for the great read L and L!)

Fixated Friday:The Liar Society Playlist

Before I knew of the Liar Society two sisters got together and said hey lets write a book. So they did. The Liar Society was the product. While they were busy writing they used this playlist to inspire. So enjoy (I know they already posted this but I figured why not? Oh and my little story there could just be my imagination.)

Fixated Friday:The Liar Society Cover Remake Fun!

ITS FRIDAY!!! WOOT! Okay this week my LS project was a cover remake. Not that I don't LOVE the cover but it was fun to come up with a new idea for it. I found the picture on Teen Fire under the Liar Society group and it sparked an interest. So for your viewing pleasure here is the original and my remake. Enjoy!

The Liar Society by Lisa and Laura Roecker

Description: (GR Page)
Kate Lowry didn't think dead best friends could send e-mails. But when she gets an e-mail from Grace, she’s not so sure.

Kate,
I'm here…
sort of.
Find Cameron.
He knows.
I shouldn't be writing.
Don't tell.
They'll hurt you. 

Now Kate has no choice but to prove once and for all that Grace’s death was more than just a tragic accident. But secrets haunt the halls of her elite private school. Secrets people will do anything to protect. Even if it means getting rid of the girl trying to solve a murder...




Quotes:
"Overflowing Toilets, huh?". He laughs a little "Well technically it's not a lie. It was overflowing last week..."


"Fabre est suae quis que fortunae: Every man is the artison of hid own fortune"


Epic Wins:

• Pemberly Brown, as far as schools go, is pretty darn awesome. A collection of buildings , cool Latin sayings on plaques, peaceful court yards, deeply hidden secrets and uh... ghosts?
• Grace's Pearls (okay you already know I love these but still!) I love the idea of the old pearls being a reminder of Grace. It was like every time they thudded against her chest Kate was reminded why she was on this crazy quest. It also gave her courage, courage like Grace had. 
• Seth was such a hoot! He was always there, even when she didn't want him. Like a dog that follows you around relentlessly (and sometimes annoyingly) but always when you need him. I kind of felt bad for the kid, Kate used him to get what she wanted but it didn't phase him. Thats what I loved about him, his never ending friendship.
• Liam...hmmm er uh yeah. He is one of those characters that you are always questioning... good or evil? None-the-less he is so cute! I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, like this kid... for so many reasons. 
• I loved how there was a flip from her present day to the previous fall. 
• Most books with two authors have separate points-of-view so things look to flow. The LiLa write the same character (Kate) and they do so perfectly. Kate felt like the same Kate the whole time.
• This book presents loss. Loss should be sad and gloomy right? There was an air of gloom but the fabulous LiLa puts just enough humor and mystery that it is a joy to read but still teaches about life.
• The twisty turns :P They just come out of no where! I am fairly sure this book will keep you on your toes (or just staring at the edge of your nose!). I was till the last page... 
• Kate is a puzzle just like the mystery of Grace's death. I have no way to put words together that will describe her perfectly but I can try. Determined, Witty, Clever, Kick-butt, Sad, Courageous, and all around amazing. There is something about Kate (no it isn't the pink hair) that I just connected to SO well.  
• For the sake of avoiding spoilers, spoilers, and more spoilers I have to zip my lips :P(er um keys??) Just know if you pick this book off the shelf you will be AMAZED!! 

Epic Fails: Rambling about the lack of Fails

• I thought we discussed this at the top? No? Okay let me spell it out for you. I tried really hard and sometime you just come up with nothing when a book is just that good. Please don't give me that look! You know I tried. Besides the one thing I didn't like I can't say because well it would leak spoilers, and even then there has to be a 'villain' and I can't tell you that . I will stop now :D Rambling is my weakness. 

Overall: Brilliant with a heavy dash of humor. It covers love, friendship, and loss in one sweep! Remember when I said Revolution was my favorite? Yeah its sitting comfortably in second place now. I still think about this book all the time. Uh it might be useful to know that I read it in one sitting.  You have to think Nancy Drew and  Scooby-Doo meets privet school and pink hair. Except it's cooler on so many levels. Oh gosh! Just read it before I continue rambling.

Fixated Friday:The Liar Society a poem or something like that

So in the Liar Society there is this girl named Kate (you probably already knew that) and she has a dead best friend named Grace (you might have known that too) but unless you have read it or are a mind reader you might not have known that Grace had a string of pearls (okay just realized my button might have given that way). I really loved the pearls don't ask me why but when the girl with the pink hair puts them on it gives her courage and reminds her why she is trying to figure the mystery that is Grace's Death. To celebrate my crazy obsession of these pearls I have written a poem (or something like that). 

Grace’s Pearls

The white luminescent color shines in the sun

Like little orbs of light strung together

Something so beautiful it’s magic

The string holding everything together

Grace was the string that held our three orbs together

She’s gone now and we have scattered

I need to solve this now to bring the string back

She needs me I know she does

I have to figure this out

Move the puzzle pieces into place

Before it is too late

Fixated Friday-The Liar Society Button Fun

So like I said I am OBSESSED with this book. (remember my fetish with Paranormalcy? This is like ten times worse because A. I never got an ARC of it  2. Due to school I was unable to read it in one sitting) To celebrate I have even made myself same buttons. 

Yeah they aren't good but they work for me. If you have read this book and LOVED IT please help spread the word about it. If you haven't add it to your TBR pile on GoodReads  (yes right now!)

Fixated Friday:The Liar Society (One woman street team)

So for the last few weeks I have been obsessing over a book...okay so I obsess over a lot of books but not like this one. I did a W.O.W on it, I have a review written up for it, and I have talked with the authors and stalked their blog (here). So I think it is time for me to share my obsession. You people will have NO problem getting hooked on this book. So what book is it?
