Today, we’re taking part in the official blog tour for The Liar Society by Lisa & Laura Roecker — a cool, Nancy Drew-esque mystery that is a very fun read (though it does have some creep-out potential, so take heed fellow late-night readers!) You can see our review of The Liar Society here, but today we’ve got this great guest blog from sisters Lisa & Laura! Thanks for stopping by, ladies …

Lisa: Worst = Realizing that someone else wrote it and you kinda suck in comparison.
Laura: Best = Being famous.
Lisa: You’re kidding right?
Laura: No! This guy totally stopped me at the coffee shop and asked if I was a writer.
Lisa: Were you on your laptop at the time?
Laura: Well, yeah….
Lisa: Did he call you by name?
Laura: No….I don’t think so….
Lisa: You jackass he was trying to pick you up. He didn’t recognize you.
Laura: Oh….
Lisa: Worst = Delusions of Grandeur. As if anyone would recognize us! You are such a dork.
Laura: Best = Maintaining a high self esteem. I mean, it’s not completely out of the ream of possibility.
