13 things about book 3

Well, we got the great news last week that Love You Kill You is STILL on the NY Times Bestseller list. This is really starting to freak me out, guys.

But in a good way. Sort of. Most of the time.

In honor of this monumental occasion I'm going to give you 13 things about book 3.

Please note: I'm not going to give away major plot elements. I'm not going to tell you if any of the loves of Cammie's life will be back or if there will be NEW loves.

I WILL NOT spoil the book for you!

So don't even ask.

Also, I don't know the release date yet, and I don't have permission to share the title yet. And things are happening at my publishing house that might make that information harder to come by in the next few weeks.

I'm truly sorry this is the case, but in the grand scheme of things, waiting a little while longer won't hurt us.

So...with those ground rules behind us...I give you...

13 THINGS ABOUT BOOK 3


1. It will start during summer break after GG2 ended.

2. The book will cover (most of) the fall semester of Cammie's junior year.

3. We spend more time outside of school in this book than we have of any so far.

4. There are new characters.

5. Some of these characters are male and some are female.

6. Some of these new characters are teens and some are adults.

7. I don't know how long it will be yet, but my gut feeling right now is that it is the biggest story so far. I don't know if that will also translate into the biggest book.

8. Mr. Solomon is still dreamy.

9. The girls do, in fact, see Sublevel Two.

10. The stakes are the highest yet.

11. The first draft of this book was the easiest to write of the three so far.

12. The second draft is kicking my butt.

13. But it's going to be worth it.

Thank you soooooo much for making this series!!!! I just finished the second book. I'm pretty new to this. I found the first book a few weeks ago. My friends have thought I have gone crazy because I have never obsessed over a book this much but Cammie is a lot like me. I wish this series will become even more popular then Harry Potter or other books like that. I totally can't wait to read the next book!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds great already! And I don't even know what it's about! But it will be worth it cause you are great and the Gallagher Girls are great too!
Hopefully new guy characters are hot, because they will have a hard time competing with Zach.

Sorry, this is a little off subject, but I was thinking that there really should be a cat named Suzie. You could throw her in there somewhere. :)

Wait....you said you're not allowed to release the title yet...does that mean that you already picked a title? Because then what happened to the title contest? And I was just wondering...are there new classes...perhaps studying...abroad?

Still in the suspense! Please...a few details couldn't hurt anything. Or you could pull a JK Rowling and tell us something that keeps us pondering till the midnight of, and then when we read the inside book jacket all it says is "This is the third installation of the GG series. Enjoy."

That would be...interesting.

Write on.

Thank you Ms.Carter1 I am so ready to read this!btw, do you recommend any more books, so that i can keep myself busy till gg3?

Anonymous Anonymous said...

Wow. Super-excited... keep up the good work - because eventually you'll be done with draft 2 and onto draft 3... and WE'LL all be super-happy!
It's also probably extremely difficult not to tell us all the spoilers (a Harry Potter freak like me picks up those words...). Thanks anyway, I'm glad for the suspense...
But if you've got any more suggestions of books to read during the wait, im kind of out right now, that'd be helpful...
Thanks SOOOO much! (and keep on being the incredible author that you are!)

Ok. There is a VERY IMPORTANT piece of information that you need to give us, and it's pretty general... are you going to finish this book within the next year? Because if not, I'm going to have to move into the house right next to you and bang on your door to see if you're done yet.

*vision blurs up and suddenly becomes clear again, revealing a girl with a dark ponytail knocking on the front door of Ally's house and yelling "Are you done yet? Are you done yet? Are you done yet?"

She continues to do this as the vision blurs up again leaving us right where we were...

Alright, that was a little over the top, but on another note...

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I seriously can't wait... and what does BTW mean?

I definitely can not wait to read the third book. I was just wondering if for the next time you give some info you could anwser some of my questions?????
1. Are any of the characters in the first and second book going to make an apperance like Josh or Zach?????
2. How many new characters do you have in the next book????
3.Does it have anything relevant to the first two?????
Please if you could just anwser those questions that would be great. Again I can not wait for the next book. :]
