Oh my gosh. My editor called today to chat about GG3 and catch up after the holidays. You know…the usual.
So imagine my surprise when halfway through our conversation she said, oh, by the way, CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY is back on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list at number nine this week!
((Insert mental picture of Ally jumping and screaming and being totally uncool while on the phone with someone who is cool personified.))
Then, my editor said, “And Love You Kill You debuted at #4 on the Paperback list.”
And then I passed out cold.
Okay, so I didn’t actually pass out cold. But I felt like it.
Two books–TWO BOOKS!–on the New York Times list. I honestly never thought I’d ever have ONE book–much less two at the same time, one of which has been out for a year and a half.
You guys did this–you know that, right? Every time you told a friend (or twenty) that you like the Gallagher Girls you did this.
So thank you!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
In other news, I feel pretty guilty being happy right now because someone I love lost someone she loves today.
So I want you guys to make me a promise, okay? Be careful driving. Seriously. Be really, really, really careful. Cars aren’t fun. They’re dangerous and things can happen so fast–life can change so fast–so take care out there and do your best to make sure those changes are for the better.
Later gators,
Ally
