Hello, everybody!
I’m home from tour! Well, technically, I’ve been home about a week, but as is usual post-tour, I got pretty sick (living on airplanes for two weeks will do that to you), but now I’m much better.
First, I’ve got to say THANK YOU to everyone who bought Perfect Scoundrels or came out to see me on tour! The response to the book has been overwhelming!
To be honest, I was really, really nervous about this book. It seemed more difficult than usual to write (of course, as Jennifer Lynn Barnes likes to tell me, they all seem super difficult at the time), so to hear people say nice things about it means a lot. I knew I was taking a chance with this one, and judging by the response that chance seems to have paid off, and I’m super grateful!
I had so much fun on tour! I really need to thank all the amazing schools, stores, and cities that welcomed me with open arms. It was a really great tour, and I’m thankful to everyone who came out or ordered books from the host stores.
And just so you know, I signed extra copies of all the books at almost all the stores, so if you still want an autographed copy, check with the tour stores. They can probably ship one too you!
Now I’ve got to get back to work on Gallagher Girls 6. Still no official title or release date, but as soon as I have that information, rest assured I will pass it along.
In the meantime, have a great weekend, everyone. And happy reading!
Ally

February 23, 2013 at 4:57 pmPerfect Scoundrels was awesome!!! I got one of my friends into reading the Heist Society series because of an English project, and she just started Perfect Scoundrels, and then we were kinda fan-girling in English..
But either way I loved it! And Kat and Hale are just SO cute together. I especially love how Marcus truly has roll!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 Smile!!!:) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

February 23, 2013 at 7:23 pmDear Ally,
Yay! I can NOT wait for Gallagher Girls 6!
I first read the GG series (multiple times, if I might add…) and decided to read the Hiest’s since I love the GG’s so much. Now I am addicted to your books! I don’t know how I’m going to wait until September! (I just heard this month. Not sure if its true..) I’m addicted to reading but all of my friends think I’m weird because of it, so I have no one to talk to about these books… Anyways, thanks Mrs. Carter!
With my sincerest love for these books,
Laney ♡

February 23, 2013 at 7:55 pmJust wanted to tell you that Perfect Scoundrels might have been your best book yet. I have always been more of a Gallagher Girls fan, but the way the way the characters were developed in this one was just amazing. Such an awesome book that really revealed the many sides to the characters we love. Thanks Ally!

February 28, 2013 at 9:18 pmHey ally, are they still making a Heist Society movie??? Haven’t heard about it in forever! Thanks so much!:)

March 1, 2013 at 6:35 pmI personally think GG6 doesn’t even needs name. If you have read the first 5 you shld be able to look at the cover and know what it is plus it’s GG6 and it’s going to be soooooo awesome there won’t be words for it! Right ally??????

March 7, 2013 at 3:34 pmum………. i finally got around to checking if the new heist society book was at my public library and it is (sorry for being so late i’ve been so caught up with my other favorite series the 39 clues(btw you have some fans over there too)) but then my library is split into the juvenile section(kids) the teen section and the adult section. All the books they hold that are written by you are in the teen section but it says the new one was put in adult section. Why is that? the teen and kid section are both downstairs so my parents will notice if i go upstairs for the adult section and they definatly will not approve. Please look at this post!

March 8, 2013 at 6:24 pmLola,
I would talk to your librarian. It should be in the youth/teen/young adult section but sometimes they put it in both teen and adult sections if they think there will be interest in both categories.
Hope this helps!

March 31, 2013 at 1:19 pmJust wanted to say a really great thanks for the third book! Loved all the heist society books, it just gets better and better, and now starts the (im)patient wait for the next (and next and next…) one. And Gabrielle is just so awesome and cool, she’s my favourite-dest out of everyone. More Gabrielle please! :p Thanks much again for the wonderful books!

(I normally don’t do these comment letter thingies, but I guess… yeah.)
Thank you for writing the Gallagher Girls and Heist Society books. They’re amazingly awesome. And I can’t really put this into words… But just thank you for all that you do for your fans: writing the books, keeping this blog up to date, making us laugh and cry, including awesome Zammie and Kale moments (is it even Kale? Cuz you could also do that for Katniss and Gale… but it would be weird if it was Hat), etc. KOBA (Keep on being awesome. You know just like DFTBA, don’t forget to be awesome. But KOBA was just some random thing I just made up. At least I think so.) Thanks again! For everything.
M
PS Also thank you Shellie. For everything too.
