In this video, I recorded Sarah Shepard reading out of the latest Pretty Little Liars book & Robin Wasserman reading out of Skinned. Sorry for being a moron and holding the camera wrong, but I realize it midway through a lot of these videos hehe.

Wow thanks so much for sharing this! I was almost going to go and then didn't at the last minute--slightly exhausted from the trekking to NY for the Sourcebooks Party the night before. So glad you posted these!
Thanks for "bringing me along with you" to the conference. Great video clips too! I can tell you had a great time.
Thanks again
