BookVideos.tv
As you have probably guessed, I am completely obsessed with books – their writers, their illustrators, their creators, the process, everything. So, while I illustrate I am often either listening to an audiobook, listening or watching authors at book festivals and signings, or following book trailers.
Well, this is my latest discovery, BookVideos.tv. These are book trailers (mostly adult books vs. children's lit) which seem to be more focused on the authors than the actual stories within the books. Most are interesting and fun to see. However, this one with wrestler Chris Jericho is a complete kick in the pants - hilarious! If it weren't for the mile high stack of YA's next to my bed, I'd be sorely tempted to read his book.
I couldn't get the embed to work, so swallow your coca-cola (I warn you - you're screen will be a mess if you don't), then go take a gander.

Awesome! What's great is that you can hear his tongue firmly implanted in his cheek.
You really should do your research into a person before assuming anything. Chris Jericho is a journalist, author, musician, actor (in movies, tv, and Broadway), and pro-wrestler. You should give him a chance. A true book lover should know the old line... "Never judge a book..." :)
Hi Anonymous (wish you'd signed your name),
I made no assumptions in my post - I said his video was hilarious, and that if I had time I would be tempted to read his book. As it is, I have a tough time keeping up with the books I need to read in my own genre.
Your post has a negative tone which I believe to be unwarranted.
