Lauren DeStefano discusses the perils of Goodreads

[kgirl998]

Oh, I went to her book signing, she's so nice! :) she gave me a hug! :3

[thehungergamesish]

Wither is the best book ever! I absolutely love your writing...so descriptive i felt like i was there, can't wait for Fever!

[stephypooh93]

Wither was absolutely amazing! You're very very talented. (:

[BroadwayBabe3]

Oh, Lauren, how I love you. You and Hannah have to remind me to come watch this someday when I read about my stilted prose, okay? <3

[duckpondwithoutducks]

What a great video!

[YodaTXMom]

Oh nooooo, I saw flashes of my life, Darn you Goodreads !

Great Vlog- thank you for the chuckle

[KenyaWright]

OH MY GOD!!! THIS IS SO SO SO SO FUNNY!!! I AM SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE I KNOW!!! LOL!!!

[Katsabrat]

You know, toss aside all the current scandal and intrigue and the fact that I haven't read Wither yet - but that was one of the funniest damn things I've seen on Youtube.

[LaurenDeStefanoBooks]

@Katsabrat Thank you! The scandal... what a mess. I hate that I got lumped in with myself. I want people to realize that I love my readers so much I'm willing to make a total ass of myself on youtube just to make them smile. And you can quote me on that.

[MyBarbaricYAWP22]

I just finished "Wither" today, and I loved it!! And this vlog was too funny!!

[TheLaurenaa]

I LOVE wither so much!!!

[gothoftheweyr]

LOVE! Haters can go to heck!

[TheMoviefan78]

I have been writing a novel for about 4 years now, do u ever get the sense that the world you've written has been folded out for you in your own mind when you are writing? That's the way my world is. I was wondering if u felt the same way.

[coming2epiphany]

If it's any consolation.... You are listed on dozens of must read YA book lists on GoodReads and I just listed you as a to-read. I look forward to reading it (next May after my classes are over) and I wouldn't have ever seen this without GoodReads. Sorry people were mean. I follow the teachings of my mom and mamaw "If you can't say something nice...." I only ever leave positive reviews unless the authors lists their book as children's and it contains sexual situations (this has happened)

[vol43]

That was HILARIOUS! Loved it.

[maguseify]

I dont know why but i found the part where she was eating lays funny and cute

[EllaPress]

Awesome. Go Lauren! And I love your cat's name! A:TLA fan?

[HaydenMCasey]

"Your face is stilted."

"You expect me to take literary criticism from someone whose user icon is a chicken in a top hat?"

"Am I too young and inexperienced to be respectfully established in the dystopian genre?"

And then playing "Beautiful . . ." Wow! Hysterical. I loved this.

[diaryofabooknerd]

Haha! hilarious video! I read you book and really REALLY liked it ^^ I have a review on my channel :)

[Kittens1100]

[VysBlog]

Love your vlogs Lauren! Totally made my night :)

[HarmonyBeaufort]

LOL, I love Hannah's appearence :P

You're fabulous, Lauren

[DevvourBookReviews]

I reviewed your book on my channel a couple of months ago :D I loved it!

[TezMillerOz]

That is a bloody big breakfast bowl ;-)

[LaurenDeStefanoBooks]

@TezMillerOz Haha, I actually use it for mixing/baking. I don't know if I could possibly eat all the Cheerios it could contain in one sitting.

[xiluvtwilightx]

Ohmygosh, this was amazingly hilarious and brilliant at the same time. XD Lauren, I have yet to read your book (but it's been on my too-read list for, like, forever, so I'm DEFINITELY going to), and you already inspire me (: seriously. I'm studying to become a graphic designer, but I also love to write, even though I treat that as more of a dream than a possible reality. You definitely give me hope that that dream could one day come true <3 thank you so much for this awesome vlog

[bookworm3583]

Hi Lauren! I've loved your vlogs so far! I wondered if you could talk about your path to publication. Do you have any trunk novels? Did you get lots of rejections? I always find it so inspiring to hear about successful authors' journeys!

[LaurenDeStefanoBooks]

@bookworm3583 Thanks!

[babyjustsayyes]

I especially like the cat at 2:15, just minding their own business in the little cat house.

[LaurenDeStefanoBooks]

@babyjustsayyes That's Sokka :)

[HOLT9102]

I have your book ( HC) twice over!!!

HaHa Hilarious!!!

[thatbethrevis]

[KaleenandDan]

I'm good enough, I'm smart enough... long live Stuart Smalley!

Great vlog. Thanks for posting.

[Wickedlover957]

Oh, it's the attack of the morbidly obese bumblebee with a venemous stinger. ;) Love your use of words to describe things!

[DevvourBookReviews]

[Dagsinred]
