All Fall Down Week!

Hello, everyone!

Ally here, taking a break from . . . I don’t know. Rocking back and forth, eating my hair, stress-baking, and checking my online sales ranking every five minutes. So, you know, the usual pre-release things!

As you probably all know, ALL FALL DOWN is in stores officially on Tuesday, January 20th (in the US and Canada. International release dates may vary.)

Of course, I’m also super busy on the second draft of book 2 (which will hopefully be in stores in about a year).

But the most exciting thing is . . .

Oh. Wait. I can’t tell you the most exciting thing. IT IS A SECRET. But hopefully someday I will be able to share, and then you guys will all be extremely excited too.

Let’s just say it’s excitement overload here at Ally Central. Tour packing! Book rewriting! Suitcase admiring (because I got a new suitcase, and it’s kind of amazing.)

Oh, and just FYI, the Heist Society eBook is currently on sale for $3.99 from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

And if you want a signed ALL FALL DOWN, I’m starting to hear reports that maybe BN is sold out (you can always check for yourself–please do!)

I know the buy link is still up at Target and most Independent Bookstores will be getting a big shipment. If you don’t have an independent bookstore near you, that is okay! You can call one (because they tell me phones can actually call people–they aren’t just limited to texting), and most will happily take a credit card and ship a book to you.

EDITED TO ADD: Thank you to Kate for notifying us that Canadians can now preorder SIGNED copies of ALL FALL DOWN from Chapters-Indigo!

If you want a personalized ALL FALL DOWN (meaning it will say “To your name”), then you should call one of the stores I’m visiting on tour (see the list below), and place an order with them. Again, this will require using a phone for non-texting (scary, I know!), and you’ll need a credit card, so you should obviously discuss this with your parents. But it is an option that is available to you.

There is just a lot going on!

But, most of all, I’m so excited for you guys to finally be able to meet Grace and the gang. I’m also really excited to be able to see many of you (I hope!) at the following conferences and events:

As always, please check with each individual store/event to see what their signing policies are. Some may allow you to bring books from home; some may not. I, personally, do not know, so you need to check with the store’s website to make sure.

And, remember, the most important thing to me is that you guys have supported my career for many years, and I know how lucky I am to be able to do what I do. So thank you for that! Thank you for everything!
