Magnificent Mondays

January 21, 2013 by Ally Carter 74 Comments

Hi Girls!

I hope everyone is having a magnificent Martin Luther King day!

I want to start off by introducing myself and letting you know that I will be taking over Molly Mondays. But I am renaming it Magnificent Mondays since my name is Shellie!

I have a lot of fun things planned but I also want to hear from you and what you would like to see.

This site is for Ally Carter fans and we want you all to enjoy it and to visit it often. So please leave me comments and I promise I will read them and do my best to fulfill your requests.

We are bringing back Fan Art Friday so please email your fantastic artwork to [email protected] so I can start filling up Ally’s Tumblr page with it!

My something fun for my first Magnificent Monday and because Double-Crossed is in wide release tomorrow is a mini excerpt!

She wasn’t a thief; of that much Hale was almost sure. But she wasn’t your typical society girl either. Her steps had too much purpose; her blue eyes moved around the room with too much precision. She reminded him far more of the girls in the world he’d chosen than the girls in the world he’d been born to, and that was why he knew that he shouldn’t let her study him too closely. That maybe she might see a little too much.

I can’t wait to start hearing from all of you!

xoxo

Shellie

    Ooh! I can’t wait for Double-Crossed! I’m wondering, is Double-Crossed going to be on the iBooks store? That’s the only place I can get eBooks. Can’t wait for the book! 😀

      Same! I’ve checked to see if I can pre-order Double Crossed on iBooks, since I know you can for Perfect Scoundrels. It’s not showing on there, but maybe it’s because it’s a free novella. Hopefully it’ll be on iBooks tomorrow.

        or maybe because double crossed is so short, maybe ally should make a short story collection filled with adventures and secret missions about the rest of the GGs!

    Hi!!! This is awesome! I wasn’t around really for Molly Mondays, but now when I get home from school I’ll have something to look forward to!
    Anyways, I’ve seen to older blog posts that they had competitions, like riddles and puzzles.
    I don’t have any other ideas.

    Bye!!
    Have a Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!! 🙂

            SAME! Whenever Ireland’s mentioned in a book I’m just there sitting in my room grinning and thinking “That’s right, we’re finally getting the recognition we deserve!” Do you have an email I’d love to have a pen pal of sorts from in side Ireland but not Dublin? If you’re afraid that I’m a creepy stalked person just say so, I realise that I’m a strange human being…l

    I was just thinking about Molly Mondays the other day, and I’m so happy that you are here with Magnificent Mondays!! Because usually, Mondays stink. I think that the puzzles/codes we did were really awesome, and trivia would be cool. Also, last time we had to make sure nobody commented the answer to the puzzle or code within 24 hours of it being put up. You might want to do that again, if you do codes or puzzles:)
    Thanks so much for doing this!!!!:)

    BEST. EXCERPT. EVER!!!!! Being able to see how Hale and Macey start to piece together that neither of them really belong in their super-rich world is so cool! I like being able to know Hale’s POV for once too.

    Hi, Shellie! I never was here for Molly Mondays, but Magnificent Mondays sound awesome!! You could do something like quizzes or certain lines that we try to guess who said what and stuff like that. Excerpts are always nice too 🙂

Now if you’ll excuse me… I am going to go reread it. It was that good, better even. I rated it 5 stars. If there were more stars I would have rated it higher. Thank you Ally!

    This should really be made into a series of short Ebooks to fill the gaps between the majour books, I started reading the first gg book last Monday and I’ve already finished both sets and don’t really know what to do with myself. I can’t wait for embassy row and I really hope there is more heist society books to come I love them but I definitely think there needs to be another series like gallagher girls even if it’s set years after cammie leaves and she either becomes the new head of the school and zach the new mr Solomon and some of the new children and the rebuilt school face a new missions that they have to over come and it would be amazing, I wish I was cammie or Kat they are amazing and have helped me get through the exams I’ve had this week their determination is amazing I love them both, I hope you reply I love your books you’ve opened a whole new way of thinking for me!
