Lesson learned. We are not the target market for The Liar Society. We wrote the book. We love the book. But we wrote it for 14-year-olds and that's exactly who the cover should call out to from its spot on the bookshelf.
And this morning we saw this:
This book? It calls to me. The title. The cover. The writer (we know her, you guys!). I can say without a shadow of the doubt that if I was wandering the shelves in B&N and I saw that gorgeous book cover out on one of their tables, my hand would be pulled to it like a magnet. If I'm the target market for this book (and I'm guessing I am): mission accomplished St. Martins. I am charmed. I am enchanted. I will buy this book. Now if only I could fast forward to April 2013....

Yes! Exactly! There's no way I'd leave the bookstore without it--such a beauty!
We had the ARC, with the earlier cover, but what was inside excited my ten year old pretty well, so I'd say mission accomplished.
I freaking love the LIAR SOCIETY books covers.. They are so catchy and fun. And I am not the targeted audience either - 23 years old. :-P
Also that Little Witch cover is very pretty and it makes me want to travel ASAP. :-P
I so agree with you. That cover entices me. Love it.
I agree! It's a great cover.
Yes, that is an amazing cover. I'm always drawn to those underwater looking covers too (well, my 35 year old self is drawn to them . . .don't know about teens LOL) like The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. The look so mysterious and dark. Loved Liar Society cover though - and the marketing you guys built around it with the pink hair was AWESOME.
I remember I was SO EXCITED when your first book was on the shelves. I bought FIVE copies! Thank you for all your help and also for being so good to so many people. Also for telling kick ass stories. XO S
