Random reviews

Okay, just in case I needed even more incentive to make the sequel rock, I just found this cool review from YALibrarian.com.

• Enter the hush-hush lives of Cammie Morgan and her brilliant yet deadly comrades, otherwise known as the Gallagher Girls. These schoolgals attend The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, an undercover program posing as a posh boarding school. The curriculum’s ultimate goal: to produce the creme-de-la-creme among young spies for the CIA, FBI, NSA, ect. Sure, breaking and entering and hacking secruity systems may come easily to this crew, but when it comes to deciphering the language of lurve they’re clueless. Although the humor will keep readers pinned to the pages, teens won’t miss the moral struggles for respect and honesty. Yessirree, Ally Carter’s sassy romp is a sure thing for readers desiring light romance with spunk.(I recommend taking a peek at the inside jacket summary. It would make an excellent booktalk itself. Kudos Hyperion.)

And, I've gotten some of the sweetest comments and emails. Like this from Charlotte...

• Thanks for the add! I absolutely love your book!! I was really in a phase where I didn't want to read anything-but then my sister got me "I'd Tell You I Love you, But then I'd have to Kill you" and I couldn't put it down!

And a reader who wrote...

• I read your book 'I'd tell you I love you, but then I'd have to kill you'. Wow, could you have come up with a name that suited it better? No, I don't think so.

And I've just heard about one girl who is going to be Bex for Halloween.

Gallagher Girls on Halloween! I may die! I get about a billion (okay, well, maybe a million) trick-or-treaters, and if four girls showed up randomly at my door dressed like Gallagher Girls...well then I would probably have to give them every piece of candy I own (including the "extra" bags I always buy just so I'll have leftovers for myself.)

Okay...gotta work!

ps...I'm going to pose the same question here I posed on the AllyCarter group over at MySpace, there's a line in the sequel that I just love, but I'm afraid people won't get it. What do you think?

Gallagher Girls are used to being tested--all the time. I mean, we can't even talk over lunch without dusting off our Farsi. And who can forget the time our archery exam happened to fall on non-dominant hand day?


Do you get it? Does the thought of Liz shooting an arrow with her non-dominant hand instantly spring to your minds as it does mine?
