A point of clarification...
The title contest would be a contest for you guys to de-code or figure out the title--not to come up with it. I'm pretty sure we've settled on a title; I'm just looking for ultra cool/exciting way to reveal it to you guys!
Happy Sunday!

OMG that is amazing!! Congrats about getting a title, and I can't wait until the contest thing starts!
Also, is Cheating at Solitare out of print? I tried to find it, but it wasn't at my local bookstore. I'd love to read it, but I wanted to wait before I bought a used one.
Happy writing!

EEEEEEEPPPP! I'm so excited!
And it should be a scavenger hunt within your blog!! Aka, the first letter is the third letter of the fourth word in some post...or something like that! That would be so cool!
that would be sooooo cool!! i love guessing things!!
OOOoohh that sounds like such a good idea!!! and i like gela's idea for a scavenger hunt... u already have a title picked... sounds like a good sign the book is getting done
Can't wait, is it gonna be like CMH's title contest thingy?
WHEN DOES THE CONTEST START!!!!!
im exsited can you tell? lol
omgosh...i am so excited! i cant wait to decode the title. i bet it is an awesome title just like the other ones.
someone else said something about cheating at solitare. i was wondering the same thing. i tried to finding it at b&n and couldnt and i cant find it on this website anymore?.?
omgg i cant not wait til the books comes out!!! :D
im like..overly excited.
This contest is going to be rockin. I love guessing things and what gela said about it being the first letter in the third letter of the fourth word it would be so cool if you did that but that would also be a lot of work to make sure its right.
If you do another solve-the-code, are your prizes going to be as cool as the ones for your last competition? They sounded like they were awesome. :)
ally,
as a fellow coder and decoder i must inform you that you need a four to five letter key word and a series of alpa matchers th correctly code information. yo ualso may use a number to letter coder, listen to me going on and on. i bet you don't even know what i'm talking about. no offence. i guess you don't have to code anything in a official way. i'm going to get in tons of trouble for telling you that code stuff. anayway, you should make it a secret mission. you would have to find letters from differant lines in your books. i see i have talked too much. maybe i won't get in as much trouble if i only close with my nick-name. i hope so.
See Ya,
Carrie
Wow!! dat would be great ALLY!!! I luv da idea of being able to figue out the title myself!!
YAAAAAY!! I can't wait to try to decode it!
YAY I CANT WAIT I LOVE DECODING THINGS :]

thanks for the clarification... I wasn't sure if you meant the same sort of thi ng as last time or coming ^ with the title... i cannot wait until you decide how to do it... I think it would be cool to do a scavenger hunt with the gg books... like the 7th word on the 6th page of the 2nd book... that'd be cool...that is sooo cool that u've picked a title!!! i still like BOYS DON'T MAKE PASSES AT GIRLS WHO KICK A**** but i can see why you didn't use that one...
best of luck w/ the contest

wow, a contest to try and figure out the title? that would be great! I've been wanting to know for soooo long
do it! that would be awesome. everyone would have so much fun. it would be kinda boring if you just told the title. rite?
Oh My Gah..... That Will Be INCREDIBLE!!!
:)
Thanks Ally. :)
omg grreat idea gela!! searching within the blog sounds sooo cool! i also kinda like the idea of the hangman thing that JK Rowling did. but the blog scavenger hunt sounds more challenging! :)
awesome lets do it!
that is so snazzy! i heart it! Cant wait to figure out the title!
YAHH I CANT WAIT FOR THE TITLE!! IT MAKES IT A STEP CLOSER ON THE REAL THINGGG!!! HAHA GREAT JOB ALLY!!!
**jessica
i cant wait to find out what the title is im so excited to read the third book
When will it start???!!!
gela's right~~
The Scavenger Hunt is a great idea!
I can't wait!
I like your titles for the first two books-they have kind of a ring to them.
maybe you could give it to us in like an anagram? those are fun
-Echo
that is a awesomeee idea! idk how muchh longer i can wait. lovee the books.
ohmigosh! i looooooooooove codes!!!
yipes! how amazingly fun! love puzzles
I LOVE your contest!!!!!!!!!
P.S.gela's idea is cool.
P.S.S you have inspired me to become a writer.
that would be very cool and fun for the readers. good thinking ally!
you have desided on a title for the third book?
woot! can't wait to try to figure out whatever awesome title it is that you've chosen!!
Briana
I'm happy that people seem to like my idea! I can't wait for the contest!
OMG!! IM SO EXCITED! it looks as if there were other contests like this for the first two books, sadly, i did not know about allycarter.com until last year when i found LYKY at my local library and LOVED the title and it looked like an awsome book so i checked it out. the rest, as they say, is history! The library that i go to lets you keep the books for like, 2 weeks and i read LYKY 2 or 3 times i think! and then a couple months ago i bought LYKY and CMH and of course LOVED THEM!
cant wait for GG3!!!

ready...set...i'm ready for the contest! are you? come on let's start it! i wanna figure out what the title is.
callie
Ohh I love puzzles but I can't say I am good at them but there fun trying and I liked the ones I do figure out! I just got Internet so I don't know how the puzzles go but I'm sure I'll figure it oout. Keep on writing!!!
Will you let your readers know when your almost done writing the book!!! I just can'y wait till it comes out!!!
Gelas idea sounds great I'd go with that!
omg yay! I didnt know about the books when they first came out, so Im excited about having to figure out a code! im so excited for the book, they're like MY LIFE i cant wait!

How about doing vitual hangman??? You could put down a hangman with your entries, then we would guess letters, but we'd could only do a letter or guess a word once.
Then With you next entry you would tell the answer to that word or letter and then do another part or word of the title.
Then for the finaley, you would put down how words there were. If we had been paying attention, we could jot down the words and unscramble them. So on and so forth. Its just an idea, it might be kind of hard for you to look over all the comments.
thanks,
Nike<3
when is this contest and will there be clues so we get be like cammie and solve things like she does in I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You and Cross My Heart And Hope to Spy
omg! that would be soo much funn! i cannnnnott wait for GG3!!!!! i finished the 2nd 1 in a day! thats how good it was!! i cant wait!!
~Alex =D
OMG!!!!! I can't wait!!!! This is going to be sooo exciting!
I like gela's idea of a scavenger hunt.
that's such a good idea!!!!!
i cant wait til your book comes out...it will probably be totally awesome!!!
Yes that would be awesome! It could be something like clues that would lead you through the second gallagher book, like a word in a sentence or a paragraph that has to do with a certain subject or something like that. Can't wait for the thrid book!
Thanks again!
