So happy

How happy does this make me?

Very, very happy!



THE SISTERHOOD IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--Ally


ps...and while we're on a YouTube kick, today I was running errands and I heard this song and IMMEDIATELY I knew it belonged on the Gallagher Girls Soundtrack. In fact, it might be the PERFECT song for GG3.




And remember...it was the 80s. EVERYONE looked stupid.

But that doesn't mean Pat Benatar isn't a Gallagher Girl.

ANOTHER MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!! Omg, yay!!! They finally made another one!! Now I have to put them on my every-growing list of books to read and books to re-read this summer, so I can remember what they did. Have they combined some of the books?? I haven't read them in forever. I'm going to ignore the GG3 info because I still haven't go GG2. *runs and hides*

I love the plot of your books. But there are some parts of CMH that was blurry when I try to imagine whats going on. Like at the end, when everyone takes their final, why do the blackthorne boys have their closets organized like robots. In the book, Cammie says she understands, but its so unclear that I just don't get it.

Also, Cammie is a sophmore. She's 16 years old. Throughout the series she doesn't sound like a 16-year-old at all. She sounds more like 12. Just the tone of her voice sounds too young and innocent to be a 16-year-old's voice today. Girls that age just don't talk like that. Ex: in LYKY, Cammie is like: "I love Bex and Liz. Seriously, I do...." that line is just not realistic to today's typical teen. And thats not the only one.

I love your books, but just some things that can make your book appeal to older audiences would definitely make it a lot more interesting. :)

NG,

Thanks for your opinions. Believe it or not, Cammie talks like I talk. And I'm in my 30s. (Seriously. I am.) And since up until now I've only gotten compliments from teens for making characters that sound like them, I don't think I'll change how Cammie talks (although in each book she does get older, so look for subtle changes as the situations she finds herself in become more dire.)

If the books are too young for you that's quite all right. There are tons of amazing YA books aimed at older readers (if you'll notice, the GG books are listed as being for ages 11 and up), so I'd recommend you try some of them.

As for the unanswered questions in CMH...that's why there are future books. I'd like the general plot of each book to stand alone, but to get the FULL story readers will have to read the series as a whole. At the end of CMH Cammie knows that Zach wasn't trying to hurt her school--how neat his room is doesn't have anything to do with that.

(ps...correspondence such as this is what the email address is for, so in the future, everyone, let's keep blog comments about blog topics. Thanks.)

I'm excited now! It seems like they're condensing all four books into two movies... cause I didn't think Lena took the art class until Forever in Blue. But whatever. It's still going to be awesome!

NOOOOOOO!!!!! sister hood one RUINED the book! ruinedruinedruined! and of course i'll end up seeing it. and of course i'll end up hating it.
LOVE THE SONG IT IS AWESOME AND ROX MY SOX!
speaking of g8 books into movies that can't possibly do it justice...i think that patrick dempsey could pull off playing the role of joe solomen. i mean if the makeup people could shave off a few years. just saying.

My top 3 favorite things about the Benatar video:
#1: The keyboard is on top of an old barrel... totally hard core!
#2: Every time the drummer hits the highhat, there is a cloud of dust that comes off... very dramatic.
#3: Pat's rockin' air guitar skills at the end.

All I have to say is that song is sooo GG!

i took your advice and read the squad. it is awesome. i love the series. but they are not nearly as good as your books ally. i still love cammie, zach, josh, mr.solomon, bex, and the whole spy team!

Loved the Pat Benatar song! You are right, it is perfect!

Regarding the post about your books "not being teen enough", I could not disagree more. Cammie and everybody totally talk how my friends and I do.

Oh, and where is that e-mail address you were talking about? Thanks. :)

I saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants yesterday! can't wait 4 that movie. How about heart of Glass by Blondie? Smile would be good to by Lily Allen but it has a bad word in it so Disney can't really use it. :(

A few things, you can cut some out if they're rambling a little:
1) NG - I actually think the characters talk like normal teens talk (speaking as a *hopefully* normal teen), which i actually prefer. ive seriously read books where characters sound like mini-adults - NOT FUN. seriously, would you like it if cammie said: "And although we are permitted to pursue any career we desire, even the headmistress of the school (consequently my mother) only rolls her eyes when I say that I attend a school of espionage."? my point exactly.
2) Patrick Dempsey as Mr. Solomon? NOOOOOO... he plays the same role in everything - goody-two-shoes hero... goody-two-shoes+Mr. Solomon = trouble...
3) where is this email address? could someone post it here please?
thanx so much - even if it gets deleted...

I'm glad to see so many people who like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series; I can't wait for the movie to come out August 8th! It seems Tibby has kept her twisted sense of humor in the movies. Pat Benitar is always good. One of my teammates said he did not like Pat on my team trip to state AcDec, so I hit him. Pat is to be appreciated. I completely agree about the soundtrack.
