Come Watch Funny Book Trailers With Me

Ever since I created my own book trailer for Blacklisted from the PTA, I’ve been collecting other funny book trailers. Frankly, we need more, because there are a lot of funny books out there, as well as a lot of really boring books that people could be tricked into buying if only they had a humorous–though deceitful–promotional strategy. So far I’ve found six, from Linda Yellin, Jenna McCarthy, Alan Arkin, Sarah Maizes, Maya Banks, and of course yours truly. We need more. Truly.

So, get a snack, check out my collection of funny book trailers page, and let me know when you come across worthy additions. (While you’re at it, bring me something, would you? I’m thinking something in a salty/sweet with magical ass fat burning properties.)

Need a Laugh? Jessica Bern is Larry David on Estrogen

When you need a laugh – and when don’t you need a laugh – check out Jessica Bern’s video series on YouTube, starting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nE3Yl-pLpOw. Watch Jessica tell all to her therapist.

(Midwest and Southern girls: Don’t worry, ‘therapist’ is just our coastie sisters’ word for best girlfriend. Or that friend who always fills your glass.)

Just make sure the kids aren’t around or you’ll have some splainin’ to do.

Me: [enjoying video] That was a bad word.
Boy: Yeah, I know.
Me: Don’t say that, okay?
Boy: Yeah. Can you help me with my homework?
Me: Can’t you see I’m working? [resume enjoying video] There goes another one.
Boy: I know, MOM.
Me: Okay, just so you know.
Boy: How exactly is this part of your writing ‘work’?
Me: Do your homework.
