The BS Becomes Trailer Trash
Yes, it’s true.
I’ve become addicted to trailers.
Book trailers, that is.
They’ve been around for awhile, but lately I’ve noticed more and more book trailers popping up. Book trailers are, in essence, the same thing as movie trailers except they’re for — duh — books. They provide a brief introduction to a book, give you a feel for its story and style, tell you a little about the author, and all in less than a few minutes. Some are fantastically elaborate and grand, others are deliciously cheap and basic. And some, of course, are good, and some suck donkey wang.
I’ve come across three that really caught my attention. They are for vastly different books, but all are presented in an unforgettable way. And I want to read all of them.
The first one has been out for some time, but I thought it was remarkably beautiful and highly effective through the use of a simple photo montage and elegant music.
The second is from one of my favorite people on the planet, Jen Lancaster. Jen is the author of a book that wins The Book Snark Title of the Year contest: Bright Lights, Big Ass. This trailer is for Jen’s latest, Such A Pretty Fat (Or, Why Pie Is Not the Answer).
And now for something COMPLETELY different. Get the kiddies outta the room and grab your favorite ping pong paddle. At the end of the trailer, the look on the face of the chick sitting on the sofa is absolutely fantastic. I’ve already ordered my copy of this book.
OUCH.
Where’s my donut pillow?

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.

WHAT IS A SNARK?
The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.
But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
