Today is a very special day. LIAR is out in the U.S.A.!
This new novel by Justine Larbalestier is fantastic, mind-blowing, one-of-a-kind. You need to go and read it NOW. TODAY. Starred reviews all over the place, a ton of buzz, and reviews I will not post or link to because of fear of spoilers.
LIAR is a crime novel. It’s about a compulsive liar. It’s amazing. I’ve loved it ever since reading the original manuscript over a year ago.
And that’s why I’m giving away a copy right here on the blog, today! Leave a comment to enter. Contest runs through Sunday, October 4th.
Also (and completely unrelated), read a Dr. Seuss-style reaction to slush piles by Jim C. Hines.
And on the other end of the spectrum, an interesting article about “the one that got away” — the books that were NOT bought by editors and went on to become quite famous.

September 29th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
i would LOVE this book, and promise to donate it to the local public library after i read it, if they don’t have it by then.
i can’t believe that so many people passed on “a wrinkle in time”. that’s always made me feel better.
also! i like the fact that your anti-spam words are now rampant-related! bring on the killer unicorns!

*bats eyelashes* Plz to give me Liar?
Not the person, I’ve already too many liars, lol. I’ve been following the story about the American cover art since Justine Larbalestier spoke out about it, and have checked the bookshelves and catalog of my local bookstores every time I visit. I so want to read this!
^_^
September 30th, 2009 at 11:37 am
WANT!!! As maureen johnson’s personal Liar Idol, i think i should clearly be worthy of this.
September 30th, 2009 at 11:40 am
I came here from John Scazi’s Whatever blog, and would love to have this book. I’ve been looking forward to this since Justine first spoke out about the former coverart.
Not only will I read it, but it will go to others with teenage & pre-teen daughters to read, as well.
September 30th, 2009 at 11:46 am
I’d love to get my hands on a copy of this one.

September 30th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
You know what I like about that cover? How it turned out so great in spite of the fact that they had to throw it together in a couple of days. Kind of like writing an A+ paper the night before it’s due.
September 30th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Thank you, looks nice. Niece would love it.
September 30th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
