Posted by Jaime on October 31, 2008 at 07:25 PM EDT #

I'm not dressing up for Halloween, sadly. But I'm super excited for both Privlage and Paradise Lost!! My favorite part of Last Christmas would have to be when Thomas and Ariana are about to kiss at the Northface store, and the ending. My favorite Private character would have to be Josh. I'm really hoping him and Reed get back together because they're perfect for each other!! I don't think I can wait until February to find out what happens.

Posted by Kelsie on October 31, 2008 at 08:52 PM EDT #

wow, your last book was amazing and really gave me a start. I'm pretty sure, though, I would have probably never read your books again if I didn't know there was another private book coming out. I was so amazed that it was Sabine all this time. Personally I thought it was that stupid Amberly... Anyways I'm so so excited for your new book coming out. I'm sure I'll be one of the first to buy it; so excited! Paradise Lost will be an amazing book, i know it! Josh is definately my fav character... if him and Reed don't get back together, I don't know what I'll think love means anymore =-)

Posted by Emily on October 31, 2008 at 09:52 PM EDT #

Posted by Ashley on November 01, 2008 at 12:12 AM EDT #

i am so excited about Privelge! It will be intresting reading it in ariana's view, like in Last Christmas. To answer one of the questions, i am so excited about Paradise Lost! can you gives any clues? besides who survived who didnt because i want to be suprised. i do hope josh is still alive though!

Posted by Jenny on November 01, 2008 at 10:00 AM EDT #

I'm not dressing up for Halloween cause I live in Germany and you don't really celebrate it here. My favorite part of Last Christas was...hmm...well, I liked how Ariana and Thomas did it in Daniel's room, but my favorite part would have to be the very beginning, where Ariana kils Thomas, because I REALLY wanted to know what EXACTLY happened. I loved Last Christmas, but I would have loved it EVEN MORE if you had put more of the time when Reed comes to Easton in it. I know it's unlikely, but it would be amazing if you wrote another book about that. Now, my favorite characters are Kiran and Taylor, I really hope they'll come back sometime! I am excited about both Privilege and Paradise Lost, but prob more for Paradise Lost because I really wnat to know what happens. And, by the way, I would just like to say that I love that you actually read our comments!

Posted by Hannah Doermann on November 01, 2008 at 11:13 AM EDT #

omg i can't wait till paradise lost.... but i wanna know what its about. i also want to know what suspicion is going to be about. that sounds like a great book. does josh or reed or noelle die??? they can't die they r my favorite characters! xoxo vickee

Posted by vickee on November 01, 2008 at 11:57 AM EDT #

I love you books! they are amazing! i just finished Last Christmas. And that sort of helped me figure out what Privlege is going to be like. After i finished Revelation and at the ending, i was freaked out. If one of them died i would be soooo sad! Josh and Reed are the best. It's sort of like Twilight, When Edward isn't there the book isn't as great as it used to be. But, it still is the best! i just love love loooove how you leave the ending of the book a mystery. like... not telling me what happened after that. i am always counting down the days for the next book. then, i get it the day it comes out! i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeee them!!!!!!

Posted by Haley Richmond on November 01, 2008 at 12:02 PM EDT #

lol, hey there Mrs Scott, i'll answer your questions :)

1. Didn't go trick or treating as - to my disappointment - a bit too old for it now (17 in december) :)

2. Not read Last Christmas yet, getting it for my birthday and the suspense is killing me! sounds brilliant though , from what i've read on here...

3. Privilige! I can't wait for it! I'm dying to see what you have up your sleeve for Ariana! (ooo, she's a bad 'un...)

4. Nooo! The Paradise Lost release date is too far away!! Just speculating here, but I reckon Sabine shot herself at the end of Revelation. I think it's the cunning (yet fabulous) thing Mrs Scott would do to her readers! :)

5. My favourite Private character would probably be Noelle. As Reed says, she is Billings, and i'm still wondering about what that mysterious scar on her stomach is....

Hope you really do read this, Mrs Scott :)
Love Katie, from lovely sunny England 0_0

OMG!!!! Last christmas was so wired, but i think i can blame daniel for air being so crazyyyy. ha i spent my halloween in a car on my home from hilton head, but my favorit character in private has to be noelle, she is braty, i just love it. Ha but i can not wait till Paradise Hotel, but do you think Privalage will have so spoilers for Paradise Island???? i can only hope

Posted by CB on November 01, 2008 at 03:01 PM EDT #

can you please make a privat movie or tv series please!!!!

Posted by Helen on November 01, 2008 at 03:21 PM EDT #

Well i was a Pirate for Halloween with my Best Friend :] and then my favorite part of last christmas was when Arianna was in Bilings taking a shower when Thomas walked in (I thought it was funny) haha. I am not to excited for privileged, more excited about Paradise Lost! and my favorite character is a tie betwwen Kiran and Reed. I just love how Kiran has this bubbly personality, like she doesn't have a care in the world.

Posted by Megan on November 01, 2008 at 03:21 PM EDT #

omg i am really glad that the killer was found for cheynnes death i was so schocked when i fornd out she was murder. i havent read last christmas yet but i am so looking foward to reading it. i also cant wait for the 9th private book to come out. i think josh is my fav character, cuz he is so wsweet. like even when he shouldnt be. and yes i love josh and reed together so yes dont kill either of them, or noelle cuz i like her to. and if either of them die i will throw the book across the room haha.

Posted by christina on November 01, 2008 at 05:07 PM EDT #

OMG!! Ur like my hero! And I am beyond excited for paradise Lost, I've been obsessed with Fan Fiction stories 4 Private. That way I can hear others thoughts!!! And my favorite character is by far JOSH!!!!! peace out Lo

Posted by Lo on November 01, 2008 at 05:19 PM EDT #

OMG! your books are just outstanding. i cant wait for the 9th book, Paradise Lost! Revelation was such a shocking book! it couldnt put the book down, i couldnt put any of them down! Im excited for Privilege! i have all my friends reading the private series now, cause they see how much i love these books. and plus you have to make a movie out of all these books! you just have to! they would make a lot of money. well i love you and your books! your great, keep writing more! you are my new favorite author! oh yeah i seriously cant choose who would have to be my favortie character. its a tie between josh reed and noelle.

Posted by Mary on November 01, 2008 at 05:30 PM EDT #

last christmas was SOOO good and im basiccally IN love with these books. are you going to keep writing for the series and whats the next book coming out if so

Posted by Morgan on November 01, 2008 at 05:45 PM EDT #

1.A 60's waitress! 2. My favorite part of Last Christmas was when Thomas was sort of courting Ariana and she was rejecting him...i loved it, it was so cute. i also liked when she discovered all the stuff about her boyfriend and the argyle sweater and stuff. 3. i am way TOO excited for privelege. I have read every private book at least 4 times, and inner circle and legacy like 20 times! im dying to read anything about the series! 4. I am going to die before i find out what happens in paradise lost! the anticipation is killing me!! I want Josh and Reed to get back together, but i also find myself liking Ivy. Hopefully she ditches Josh for Gage or something. 5. My favorite private character is definitely Noelle. She is my idol! she has the coolest personality ever!

Posted by keely on November 01, 2008 at 06:28 PM EDT #

OMG my fav part was how much ariana and thomas loved each other i didnt really know thomas that well until now. I want reed and josh to get back together. WHO CARES ABOUT THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS JUST SKIP RIGHT TO PARADISE LOST AND PRIVILEGE!!!!!!! josh and reed are my 2 fav people!!!!!!!!!!!! Please come out with the 1st chapter of paradise lost soon!!! dying to know!!!!!! oh and i am being well idk exactly wat but im wearing pink leggings with black shorts my hair scrunched and a pink t-shirt!!! LOL

Posted by Lisa on November 01, 2008 at 07:52 PM EDT #

the biggest i have and have had for the longest time is what exactly does reed look like? give me good descriptions.

Posted by tahiya on November 01, 2008 at 08:57 PM EDT #

Hi Kate! 1) I was a bunny rabbit for halloween! 2) My fave part in Last Christmas is when they find out about Ariana's boyfriend's cheating ways. 3) I am soo psyched for Privilege! 4) I can't wait for Paradise Lost! Please post a preview ASAP! 5) My favourite Private character is Noelle Lange, because of her spiceyness! lol.

Posted by Anna on November 01, 2008 at 10:31 PM EDT #

Before I answer your questions I would like for you to know that this week I got my 3rd copy of private and my second copy of Invitation Only and Untouchable! I have been passing the books along to anyone and everyone I can think of and so far everyone has LOVED them! 1.For Halloween I dressed up as Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter...Dark mark temp tattoo and all! It was amazing! 2. My favorite part of Last Christmas was learning more about Thomas. He always has been and always will be my favorite character. I was so distraught when he died I cried and cried for days! I'm still not 100% convinced he is dead though...I need to re-read to research my theory but I think it is possible that he survived Ariana and faked his death to get out of the drug situation. It would certainly explain his parent's behavior at his funeral...I am aware that some people are just jerks for parents but there COULD be more to them...

Posted by Mattie on November 01, 2008 at 10:57 PM EDT #

3. I have mixed feelings about Privilege. I'm excited because I am so invested in the series but at the same time it is really wierd hearing the story from Ariana's POV. It almost makes me feel sorry for her but then I remember what she has done and I am angry again...many emotions going through me! 4. I am EXTREMELY EXCITED about Paradise Lost however. I have no theories about what happens and it is driving me crazy! 5. Like I said when I answered #2--Thomas is my favorite...His character intrigues me. Of course Reed is my second favorite...she would be my #1 but Thomas stole my heart....and surprise...after reading Revelation Ivy is my 3rd... There is something off about Noelle (not to mention I am dying to know what her scar is about...I hope you explain in the future!) and Josh, sweet as he is, I will never forgive him for what he did to Reed...I mean...he knew at the very least that she was drunk. The same thing happened with him and Cheyenne and Reed forgave Him.

Posted by Mattie on November 01, 2008 at 10:59 PM EDT #

I actually just finished Last Christmas, after reading for 5 hours straight! Wowowowowow. It was dazzling. :) And still so tragic.! I can't really pick out a favorite part...probably the diner scene, it was so similar to Confessions in such a dark way. :P I was sad that Thomas kept just...leaving these girls. :( I AM SO EXCITED FOR PRIVILEGE AND EVEN MORE FOR PARADISE LOST!! Too long to wait...I love to hear Arianna's point of view, she's so diabolical. I hope we get to see a bit about Sabine too. Constance is one of my favorites. I love other characters, but Constance is one of the sweetest and truest. And I was a vampire for Halloween. Can't wait for more books! <3

Posted by Sarale on November 01, 2008 at 11:29 PM EDT #

OMG! Last Christmas kinda made me feel sorry for Ariana until she went crazy and started killing people. I must say my favorite part was when Thomas told her that she was crazy and that he loved Reed now. I cannot wait until december and Privledge. Will Sabine be in this series? Febuary better get here fast! Whos gets hurt/dies? I have to know it driving me crazy! I know it cant be Reed and it better not be Josh cuz they have to get back together! What is up with Noelle's scar? What happens to Sabine? Are Reed and Ivy friends now? Will Amberly stay in Billings i dont think she should? As soon as you write the first chapter of Paradise Lost it better be put online cuz i cant wait til febuary or even december!!!

Posted by Haley on November 02, 2008 at 12:02 AM EDT #

p.s. I think a movie or a tv show should be made based on these books!

Posted by Haley on November 02, 2008 at 12:09 AM EDT #

1) Me and my friends were patriots fans/ players 2) same with Anna i loved that part i was just like omg 3)I'm sorta excited for Privelage but not as much as Paradise Lost 4)I'm like on the edge of hysteria excited for Paradise Lost 5) my fave character would probs b Astrid, Gage, Natasha, Kiran, and Taylor haha i love pretty much all the characters!! But like i dont get where Taylor went I miss her soooo much she was like soooo nice!!!

Posted by Maria on November 02, 2008 at 01:23 AM EST #

1) I dressed up as Ariana. I had to explain the plots to my family, and now they call me "a triple murdering freak." It was funny though. I wore ice blue contact lenses. 2) My personal favourite bit was when Sergei died going under the lake. It chilled me so much and it was really well written! 3+4)*hyperventilates*kateyoucannotmakeuswaitthislongbringthemoutnowplease! 5)My favourite character is obvi Ariana but I also really like London and Vienna, they're so kooky and dumb.

Posted by girlwithapearl on November 02, 2008 at 05:05 AM EST #

Oh My God Kate! I like love you. I absolutley loved Last Christmas, iread in in 4 hours :O I just couldn't stop reading it. It was AMAZING! 1) I went as a baby for halloween.2) My favourite bit of Last CHristmas was when Arianna and Thomas made a bet about Daniel. It was an interesting turn out but very tragic for Arianna.3) Please don't make us wait until december for priviledge and more to the point don't make us wait until febuary for Paradise Lost.4) Waiting for these books is so hard. The antisipation is unbeliveable. 5)I don't really have a favourite character. I love them all, but i sort of like how Noelle has all the power. Please Kate! I love your books. You can't make me wait that long :(

Posted by Melanie..Obsesssion on November 02, 2008 at 11:07 AM EST #

I haven't been on here in a long time. AHHHHH!!!!!! I lOooove you Kate. Your books are a direct product of God. Ugh.... Anyways, I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO JOSH!!! Dear Lord, please let him be okay, if he isn't I will cry like I did at the end of Revelation. Like, I would rather Reed get shot than Josh, or the police shoot sabine. OOOrrrr Sabine turns around and shoots the police. Yeah, yeah, that'd be a good one, way more drama. Wow I'm so into this. Anyways, toodles~<3

Posted by Niya on November 02, 2008 at 12:02 PM EST #

luv these books!!!!!!!! can't wait till privlege!!! my favorite character is Constance :-) shes so innocent i also luv reed and kiran i think tht sabine shot noelle or hopefully amberly i hate tht girl

Posted by Komal on November 02, 2008 at 01:27 PM EST #

Posted by komi on November 02, 2008 at 01:29 PM EST #

I cant wait any loger till Paradise Lost comes out i want to know if Reed lives or not!!!

Posted by Sarah on November 02, 2008 at 03:22 PM EST #

josh josh josh josh josh all the way as my favorite charcter. he is just amazing! haha. but for halloween me and my friend were mario and liugi. there are no words to describe how excited i am for paradise lost and privlege!!!

Posted by mary on November 02, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST #

i didn't read last christmas yet but i plan to as soon as i possibly can. i'll probobly finish it in like 4 hours. i can't wait for Privilege but i have to admit that my main reason is that it will get my mind off of Paradise Lost for about 4-5 hours. can't wait for Paradise Lost. i keep dropping random comments like "i want february" and no one knows what i'm talking about because we were talking about something totally different. my favorite characters are most defiantly Reed and Josh. please don't kill either of them and make them get back together: they're the most perfect couple in the entire series.i'm not going out for halloween, i don't celebrate it.

Posted by maja on November 02, 2008 at 04:17 PM EST #

I really want to know what's going to happen in PARADISE LOST and in PRIVILEGE!!!!! you're like the most amazing writer ever but every single book is suck a cliff hanger it drives me crazy! For Halloween i was an angel which is pretty much the exact opposite of private. I LOVED Last Christmas and the end was so intense! last year I was on this cruise and i didn't do anything the whole time except read all the private books :] my friends all think i'm obsessed with the private series but they're just soooooooo good! PLEASE don't kill Reed or Josh I would be devastated.

Posted by ilana on November 02, 2008 at 05:46 PM EST #

i just got revelation today (and finnised it today)and was shocked by the ending. Reed can not die. and i have another comment. does josh still have feelings for Reed? i mean at the end he did push Gage out of the way to save her. idk. all i know is that Reed can not die. she just cant. also i really hope Josh comes to his senses now that he knows all the info. who knows, maybe it will be a happy ending after all.

Posted by dani on November 02, 2008 at 08:38 PM EST #

I LUV YOUR BOOKS!!!! i can't wait till privillaged comes out than Paradise lost!!! I really want to know what happens!! :] I don't think Reed dies because she finished the book.... and it was told in her point of view so how could she finish the book shot?? IDK! I am more excited for Paradise Lost i must say because i love that story line!!!! For halloween i was a scarecrow :p !! My fav. character would have to be Josh because he is so sweet and gentle yet there seems to be a mystery about him and Noelle even those she is a meany.... it is one of those girls you love!! :] My favortie part of Last Christmas was the beginning when you find out how the murder really went down.... the middleish when Thomas and Ariana are falling in love.... and the ending when she says... I wonder if any one would care if Reed Brennen just disappeared!!!! I love your books!!! <3 peace

Posted by katie on November 02, 2008 at 09:01 PM EST #

I LOVE your books. I's so addicted to Private right now...it's like my life and I can't breathe without reading a little bit of each book before bed! Last Christmas is WOW. Favorite part...definetly the beginning when there was graphic details of how she murdered him *yikes*. By far, I'm really really looking out for Paradise Lost! I hope by the title "paradise lost", that you don't really mean "Josh is dead" or something please. Obviously Reed won't be the one to die...(right?) ...but please don't let Josh die!! Please say that it really gets fired at Ivy or someone of minimum importanc cause I would just die if Josh died. I love love love love Josh + Reed!!

Posted by Deena on November 02, 2008 at 10:13 PM EST #

I also love the way that everything you write is so carefully thought out. The foreshadowing is absolutely spectacular and suspenseful. The way you tend to make it so that all the attention is focused on one main antagonist, and then reveal that it was the person that you would never suspect...it's superb! It holds a perfect plot for film or television adaptation really. (hint hint ..clue clue) Good luck with everything and keep up the amazing job that you are doing. Josh is my favorite Character. Then Marc.

Posted by Deena on November 02, 2008 at 10:15 PM EST #

I'll start out by saying "I love your books!" I just finished Revelation and I'm so angry I don't know if Reed or Josh got shot. I can't even imagine how I would feel if one of my equally favorite characters died. I probably would never read another book again. I'm just joking. Sorry, the drama kinda rubs off after I read one of your books. Anyways, I feel like I'm in the dark and I really really really hope your new books can shed some light. 1) I dressed up as prince Marth from Super Smash Brothers Brawl. (the white costume) 2) Haven't read last christmas yet. 3)Haven't read Privilage yet. 4) I'm sooooo excited for Private 9 5)My favorite character(s) in Private are Josh and Reed. I swear if they die I'll never read again. Also, I Noelle dies I'll never read again. Anyways, I can't wait to catch up on the series. looks like I have something to look forward to. Probably one of your few male readers, Santi

Posted by Santi on November 02, 2008 at 11:40 PM EST #

Your private series is my most favorite series of all time! My question is though after reading all the private series including last Christmas when are you going to tell if Reed died? I really want to know and I hope that you tell us! Please keep writing I love your books!!!

Posted by Amanda Zimmer on November 03, 2008 at 10:13 AM EST #

Hey! Alright, well first off, I want to say that I absolutely LOVED reading Last Christmas. It was so cool to find out more about Thomas and Ariana. I so loved the part where her and Thomas had breakfast together! Aww. And Im so freakin excited for Paradise Lost too! Honestly..I'm kinda scared to find out what happened, even though I think Sabine probably shot herself...cause I don't think you would let Josh die! Right? I think Ariana is my favourite character, even though she's a psychopath! Anyway..I dressed up as a dead nerd for Halloween :) But Ive been meaning to comment about the whole Private movie/tv series thing that you talked about your blog a while ago. I know I probably already said this on your blog, but I think that Private would make a great movie series...

Posted by Finnie on November 03, 2008 at 02:17 PM EST #

I'm thinking a series of movies because...well, that way it'll be much more suspenseful (just like the books!) and you could do so, so many things with it. True, you could do that with a tv series too, but I don't know. I think with the movies, Private would kinda stand out from all the other teen shows based on books. But you could make the movies more mysterious and erotic and thrilling and I dont know, I'm getting excited thinking about it! Haha. It's kind of hard to explain, but yeah, I think the series would make amazing movies :)

Posted by Finnie on November 03, 2008 at 02:18 PM EST #

P.S. - Santi, that's so cool that you're a guy and you read Private :)

Posted by Finnie on November 03, 2008 at 02:21 PM EST #

OMG i love the private series sooooo much. i wish it could be made into a show like gossip girl but then again gossip girl got alot of theings wrong and it would prob take away from the series. im excited to find out every thing that i still dont know like about noelle's scar! You are one of my fav writers =) I also think josh jumped in front of reed to save her from the bullet but i think youre gonna shock us all and say like it hit constance or something crazy like that. i think Reed would snap if josh died or something else that huge. but then again it would make a great story line haha. Anyways the main reason i wanted to comment was to say that by far NOELLE LANGE is the best character ever! in any book i love her she is so fabulously bitchy and high and mighty and she controls everything and everyone. ahh i wish i was or knew a noelle lange thanks -k-

Posted by Kelly J on November 03, 2008 at 02:30 PM EST #

*******************cutiek8i******************* i agree b/c ima turning 16 in may (baby of the group lol) and in school though i went as a live manaquin but i partyed to my hearts content on halloween lol and my fave character is either b/w Noelle reed or natasha!!!!! KATE PLEASE BRING NATASHA BACK INTO THE PICTURE!!!!

Posted by Katelyn on November 03, 2008 at 02:37 PM EST #

The Private Series are a genuine piece of work! I have read all of them so far, and highly anticipating Paradise Lost in February. One suggestion I have is to leave Reed and Josh in the picture. Your fans love these two characters, and i feel that you may lose people if either one of them are killed. on a better note, keep up the good work!!! you are an inspiration.

Posted by Bella on November 03, 2008 at 06:15 PM EST #

omg i was soo mad when pretty much died at the end of revalations. and i seriusly thought it was the end of private and u were going to like continue the story from arianas point of veiw in privleage but then i just found out about the next book paradise lost and i was like NO WAY!!!!! i almost had a spasm!!! im sooo excited now!!!!! i love last christmas and im looking foward to getting more of airiana!!! hahah i love her....even tho shes insane and a murder! hahah love u!!!!!

Posted by kathryn on November 03, 2008 at 07:11 PM EST #

Okay, Last Christmas was amazing. Not going to lie but at first i really liked Ariana and i got really excited for her, and blushed at her cute moments with Thomas. I love how they do it in Daniel's room! But then towards the end you find out just how crazy she really is, I mean shes seriously crazy. I read the sneak peak for Privilege and Im so excited. I love how she's somewhat haunted by Thomas and having flashbacks of his murder. PARADISE LOST! Im legit counting down the monthes until it comes out! Im dieing to find out what happends. I cried when the gun went off! It was right when Reed was getting her life back, exspecially Josh ! My favorite character is either Reed or Noelle or Constance. =] Dieing to find out what happends next !!

Posted by Allyssa on November 03, 2008 at 07:13 PM EST #

Hey i was wondering if there will be a book after Last Christmas?I am so addicted to your books and i really hope there will be more:)

Posted by Morgan on November 03, 2008 at 09:42 PM EST #

Hey again, sorry i just read something about the next book so nevermind on my last comment. It was so weird how throughout most of the book, i really like ariana even though i knew she was crazy. Of course, the last part of the book made me dislike her again. I really hope that in the next book, Josh and Reed get back together because i think they are meant to be together. I do feel bad for Ivy, now that we know shes not a murder/phsyco stalker......And finding out about Ariana's sister was a complete suprise!!My favorite character is by far Josh who is the perfect boyfriend(for Reed). I think we all need a Josh Hollis in our life....:)

Posted by Rachel on November 04, 2008 at 12:12 PM EST #

hey, I am very excited abou the release of your new book 'Paradise Lost'. I was just wondering when it will be out in England?

Posted by Michelle.C on November 04, 2008 at 01:07 PM EST #

Michelle: it comes out in feb in the USA and it usually takes a few months to get to europe or asia (wats it like in england and r u in london or somewhere else?) so i would say maybe at the most in june it will reach you. Love Love Love ur books Kate and can we get a book from like Joshs or thomas's point of view maybe josh because he liked reed WAYYYYYYYY b4 they dated or even talked to each other or maybe thomas b/c he said he was head over heels for reed and i wonder if that was really or would he just dump her like ariana and mel as soon as someone prettier came along?

Posted by Katelyn on November 04, 2008 at 02:08 PM EST #

i LUV your books!!!!!!!! i just finished legacy like a second ago and it was fanom!!!!! and i have some questions.... 1. is revaluation that last book????? cuz i no the prequel usually happens after that actual series it ova but that would b sooooo sad so plz keep on writing! :) 2. is there gonna b a movie cuz ive herd rumors(that might b a good name 4 1 of the books) 3. is last x-mas from the point of view of Ariana???? thx and again i LUV u and ALL ya books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! luv ya BIGGEST FAN, Haylee

Posted by Haylee on November 04, 2008 at 07:07 PM EST #

For halloween I was Joe Jonas and my two friends were Nick and Joe. :) My favorite part was when Ariana and Thomas jumped out of Thomas's doorm window. I'm really excited for Privilege but more excited for PARADISE LOST! I really want to see what happens to Reed! My favorite characters would have to be Reed because she's different compared to the other girls at Easton. Can't wait until the next books, your amazing!

Posted by Kristen on November 04, 2008 at 07:15 PM EST #

1. 80s girl. 2. My favorite part of Last Christmas was when Ariana showed the video to her teacher. 3. I'm really excited for Privledge! I love reading from Ariana's point of view, even though she kinda creeps me out. 4. I'm even more excited about Paradise Lost, because I really want to know who gets shot. 5. My favorite character is either Noelle or Josh. Noelle is one of those people, who you love and hate. She's so interesting, Inner Circle was so boring when she was gone. Josh is super sweet, and him and Reed are perfect together, so I love him.

Posted by Tori on November 04, 2008 at 07:26 PM EST #

i luuv your books.everytime i read them i cant put them down and move onto the next one.the characters seem soo real and then i have to think that its only a book.my fav characters are josh,reed,constance and gage.but if i had to choose one i would pick josh.he seems like a good bf even if he is on serious meds i still like him.you should definately make movies on the books and use the models from the covers of them.it would be great and i'd like you a lot better than that crazy harry potter lady ;p.i would so watch them all the time.Happy Writing...

Posted by Jadia on November 04, 2008 at 07:53 PM EST #

i havent read the private books i read last christmas though. last christmas was DEFINATELY the best book ive ever read. im a little confused as to why u decided to place Arianna to killing thomas, and to why he is dead. i read the first chapter of Privelage and im REALLY excited about it coming out!!! im really hoping that its as good as last christmas. Is Reed Brennan as good of a character as Arianna Osgood? because i love her character!!! i have an idea of what will happen with her bu reslly where is her life going from here??? i mean she doesnt have thomas and i LOVE them together!!! o my gosh why did thomas have to die???? i love his cahracter!!! now hes gone :( please repost kate...I love your writing and ypur books. ive NEVER read better...thank you!!! and btw my favorite part of Last christmas is when they're are first alone at the academy and they are wandering around and are getting to know eachother; thank you for writing the BEST BOOK EVER!!! -Venessa

Posted by venessa on November 04, 2008 at 08:45 PM EST #

I am SO SO SO excited. Last christmas was amazing, I can't wait to read more about Ariana. 1. What are you dressing up as for Halloween? Didn't go out :) 2. What was your favorite part of LAST CHRISTMAS? Oh my god, all of it. Uh, I liked it when Thomas & Ariana first hooked up. 3. How excited are you for Privilege? SO. INSANELY. EXCITED. 4. How excited are you Private 9: PARADISE LOST (it comes out in February!) MORE. EXCITED! just finished revelation, best book ever. 5. Who's your favorite Private character? i love reed, but i've always favoured noelle.. and i miss kiran! where's she at! never stop writing! EVER!

Posted by Aly on November 04, 2008 at 09:30 PM EST #

Hello. I wanted to say how amazing i think your books are. Your storyline is just so intriguing. I always wanted to know if you had this whole story planned out before you wrote the first book. Well I love Reed and Josh the best and Noelle is the interesting character that no matter what she does you still want to like her. I found it very interesting to see how Ariana came to be in Last Christmas. She truely is crazy. I hope we get to learn more about her and her family in Privilege. I'm even more excited to read the next book in the series. I loved how you made Reed and Ivy come together in the last book. I like her now but I still hope Reed and Josh get back together. Thanks for all the great books and if you ever find the time i would love to read a sequal to Megan Meade's guide to the McGowan boys.

Posted by Megan on November 04, 2008 at 10:58 PM EST #

WOW! i just finished revelation and i am completely freaking out! i want to know what happens SO BAD. i just read and its coming out in February!? I AM SO EXCITED. you are an amazing author, i feel like i am reed brennan. i seriously cry over things, and everyone thinks im crazy. I LOVE ALL THESE BOOKS SO MUCH. you're amazing!

Posted by Alexa on November 04, 2008 at 11:13 PM EST #

(not joking lol) well keep up the good work and dont stop!! lol luv ya!! bibi

Posted by javajuice08 on November 04, 2008 at 11:54 PM EST #

2. In LAST CHRISTMAS, I enjoyed reading more about Thomas!!! It was really cute to read how Thomas knew how to cook pancakes! Aww...so cute. But I thought Thomas would have a different reaction to when Ariana said she took care of Mel. And reading, I got to see a different side to Thomas. He isn't "untouchable", he is like any other person when he hurt his ankle and had to have Ariana take care of him. He was so...vunerable. 3. I'm really exciting PRIVILEGE. I'm going to try to not be as judgemental of Ariana, like when I was reading LAST CHRISTMAS. (I had like no sympathy for her because I was all like,'Thomas likes Reed not Ariana!') 4. More excited for PARADISE LOST though. Have no idea what's going to happen to Sabine, Reed and Josh! And the Billings Girls. 5. Reed or Josh is my favorite. I've grown to like Reed and root her on. I like Josh because he's the perfect boyfriend. Even though he was anti-Billings, he had his reasons. He wanted to protect Reed, the girl he loved!

Posted by Jacqueline on November 05, 2008 at 12:49 AM EST #

5. I also think Ivy Slade is an intersting character. I started to respect her in REVELATION. You've got to give her credit for being an 'ambitious' girl. She didn't like Billings so she did something about it! She stood up for what she believed in(i.e. fundraiser). I also liked reading the part in REVELATION, about Ivy's explanation on why she still had the picture of her, Noelle, and Ariana. I believe that if we read in Ivy's POV, we would root her on(just like we root on Reed). For example, Reed was determined to get the Easton Academy students into the Legacy; and we were rooting her on to accomplish that. Ivy worked hard and was determined(just like Reed) to stand for what she believes in. I respect Ivy now. But I still want Reed and Josh to be together. LOL

Posted by Jacqueline on November 05, 2008 at 12:53 AM EST #

i absolutly loved last christmas but i thought the ending was particularly amazing. im so excited about privilege and especially paradise lost. my favourite character is definately josh, but i also that ivy is a really interesting character.i was in spain on halloween so i didnt dress up :)

Posted by Alice on November 05, 2008 at 04:57 PM EST #

I love the sneak peek for Privlege! But what i'm really wondering is if she will go back to Easton. (I hipe she does!) And, is Sabine a love child of A's father?

Posted by ellie on November 05, 2008 at 05:56 PM EST #

One) Revelation was amazing!! my heart ached for Reed, and i wish Josh and her had gotten back together, and Ivy hadn't gotten into the picture... interesting twist on Reed and Ivy working together to find the real murderer though... and the ending! ahh thats the worst part, not knowing what's going to happen. I really hope Reed doesn't die, although i can't see how that would happen considering she's the main character. Two) I loved Last Christmas, and now i can see A’s point of view better than before. Her mother was in and out of mental hospitals and her dad was never home. Then she finally found love in Thomas, only to find that they couldn't be together until fall, which is when Reed shows up. So of course A is going to go crazy (she kinda was to begin with though). I found the part about Mel and Serj really creepy though. i mean, A didn't even feel guilty! But i guess it was all for Thomas, the one person that made her feel safe.

Posted by Catherine Ashley on November 05, 2008 at 06:49 PM EST #

Oh and one more thing: Kate, please please please put up the first chapter of Paradise Lost or some hints as to what's going to happen or SOMETHING! I can't wait until February! I was minnie mouse for Halloween, and my favorite character would have to be Ariana now. Either her, or Reed. Also, my favorite part of Last Christmas was probably when Ariana woke up the morning after sleeping with Thomas. It was refreshing seeing how calm she was with him there, and sweet too. A different side to A, that's for sure.

Posted by Catherine Ashley on November 05, 2008 at 06:53 PM EST #

I am soooooooooo EXCITED 4 privilege its gonna be a huge shocker i think. And ther is no way that i can ever wait until February to read Paradise Lost! what a great book last christmas was i kinda feel bad 4 ariana but she is so freaky. so my fav character is Thomas the whole hot and mysterious bad boy attitude is just so intriguing! too bad he died (stupid Ariana!)

Posted by hayat on November 05, 2008 at 07:45 PM EST #

I am obsessed with your books. i read the last three private books in about four days. I cannot WAIT until feburary for the next one. but it'll be a good birthday present! my favorite character besides Reed, is either Noelle or Ivy. I think Ivy seems cold on the outside, and she probably does really hate the Billings girls, but she definitly is a good person to have on your side. I was sure Amberly had something to do with Ariana. And how come if Noelle and Ariana were best friends, Noelle didn't know about Sabine? So about the privlige books, if they happen after the the private series, then do they involve any of the characters from the private books?

Posted by Abby on November 05, 2008 at 08:17 PM EST #

I totally agree with ALICE that Ivy is an intersting character, like I said before. CATHERINE: I totally agree with you about Ariana feeling good and safe about herself when she was with Thomas and why she killed those two people who was a threat to their relationship. But like she was already like, "he loves me" "i love him" way too early in my opinion. And he only said he loved her at the very end and he wasn't even looking at her when she said she loved him. But she was crazy to begin with.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 05, 2008 at 08:18 PM EST #

ABBY & HAYAT: I totally agree with you guys. HAYAT: I totally love Thomas too! ABBY: I agree with the Ivy thing. She's independent. I also was thinking about if Noelle and Ariana were best friends, shouldn't she have known about Sabine. But in LAST CHRISTMAS, Ariana was so quiet...And I was thinking if like Sabine would come into PRIVILEGE since it takes place like a year and a half after Thomas died....

Posted by Jacqueline on November 05, 2008 at 08:20 PM EST #

I wanna know if there's another book in the Private series?

Posted by kat on November 06, 2008 at 03:17 PM EST #

hi Kate. i just wanted to say that you are an amazing writer. i've read a lot of your books and every time i finish one i'm so amazed at your ability to write that good. anyways, i just finished revelation and i'm in total shock of the last chapter. it was amazing and i can't wait until february. the only problem is that my brain won't let me think about anything else. it just keeps playing flash backs of the ending in my head. AND IT'S DRIVING ME INSANE!!!! so please do me and a million other people a favor and post the first chapter of PARADISE LOST. on another note: i absolutley <3 MEAGEN MEADES GUIDE TO THE MCGOWAN BOYS. and the way you ended it can seriously be lead to a 2nd book. so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us know if you plan on continuing that story. - sorry for the essay comment but i really needed to get that of my chest. please answer some of theese questions in your next blog. THANKS! -cristina<3

Posted by cristina on November 06, 2008 at 04:24 PM EST #

My fav charachters are firstly Noelle, then Thomas, then Ivy. i like them all because they know what they want, are independent but not sico (i.e. Ariana). Soooo want 2 read Pardise thinghy, who dies??? not reed (coz she's main charachter), not josh (coz by the sound of it alot of people would through the book into the bin), not Noelle coz she's way 2 kl! But Ivy would be gd! I luv ur book, second only 2 Agath Christie! People doin comments plz give stuff away about last christmas i have not read it! SEriously don't mind if u ruin the ending! DON'T UNDERSTAND WHO U ALL LUV ARIANA!AHGH!EWW!CRAZY! XxX

Posted by kathy on November 06, 2008 at 04:35 PM EST #

soz nearly forgot for halowen i was on the plane back from rome. I missed all the partys coz i got back 2 late and the plane didn't have the clinique makeup palet on board!!!! Very agro! But was kl coz mt friends felt bad i couldn'y go 2 any partys coz i got back too late soo they moved the party to highate woods like next door 2 me! then i sneaked out and went it was amazin!

Posted by Kathy (again) on November 06, 2008 at 04:40 PM EST #

ive read last christmas and i still think Arianna is a complete psycho. I never liked her and i knew there was definately something weird about her from the start. how can u like her; what sort of freak drowns a boy in a freezing lake just to protect her relationship? Shes a really cool charcter and that but when i read her point of view it gives me chills!

Posted by alice on November 06, 2008 at 04:49 PM EST #

It was so crazy to know that Ariana didn't even feel guilty about the murders. I got teary eyed when I read the part when Ariana drowned Sergi. I thought she was really going to save him but then suddenly drowns him! And Thomas' reaction!! He knew that Sergi drowned(not by Ariana)but didn't even do anything about it. The same goes to his reaction with Mel! It didn't sound like he even cared that she died! I really wish I could read in Thomas' POV. And I was wondering if Ariana even tried talking to Thomas their senior year, before she killed him.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 06, 2008 at 06:40 PM EST #

heyy... omg i have a question. i read the whole series(except last chrsitmas:() but anyway me and my friend are obbsessed and we keep habving this arguement.. she thinks that the girl on the cover of private with her arms across her chest, the girl in the middle. yeah shes think that its reed..and im likee nooo way that s soo noelle..but she never agrees..so im like im gonna ask someone..so now im asking!!! who is it????????? someone respond!!!

Posted by idha khoudeida on November 06, 2008 at 06:47 PM EST #

I can't belive Revalation ended like that. I would have never guessed. I love the Private series. I can't stop thinking about the ending in Revelation!!! Who died??!!! i need to see the first chapter of Paradise Lost!! I can't wait until febuary!!!!!

Posted by sarah on November 06, 2008 at 07:08 PM EST #

You're books are probably the most well written, and thought out series I have ever read. I just want to say that I really look up to you, and the fact that your writing about my age is so much fun! HOWEVER; I can not figure out who charactor is on the cover of each book? Maybe you should make a page dedicated to this? You could have each cover, but when you clicked over the model it could say who the character is and have a few sentence bio? It would make everything a bit more clear. keep up the fantastic work! xoxo, Lia. ps. also curious; how do you become a model for the cover picture? i am highly interested.

Posted by Lia DiNunzio on November 06, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

I just wanted to tell you how amazing your books are. I just finished Revelation and I can't wait to find out what happens next! Here are my answers to you questions: 1. I was carrie Underwood for Halloween. It was pretty amazing! haha. 2. I haven't read Last Christmas yet. It wasn't at the bookstore when I went. But I'm defnitely excited to read it! 3. I'm sooo excited for Privilege! I can't wait to read a story told from Ariana's perpsective. 4. I'm insaely excited to Paradise Lost too! Revelation left us on the biggest cliffhanger ever! I can't wait to find out what happens next. 5. Noelle is probably my favorite character. Even if she is a little mean sometims, I still love her! Thanks so much for the AMAZING books! -Alyson

Posted by Alyson on November 06, 2008 at 08:49 PM EST #

"How excited are you Private 9: PARADISE LOST (it comes out in February!)" No Way!! The last book of the Private series didn't have one of the little advertisments that says when the next book of the series comes out and now I know, so I can go buy it. Ah! I'm so excited to see what happens. [: With the last book.. Revelation.. I was left with so many unanswered questions, like what is going to happen? haha. Well anyways, I had a sort of important question for you: How many books do you think there will be before you end the Private series? I hope a lot because I love it. [: hah.

Posted by steph on November 06, 2008 at 11:04 PM EST #

hey guys! I thought of this...what if Josh doesn't want to get back with reed?? That would break my heart so much!! and this would kinda ruin it! wouldnt you think that?

Posted by Ambika on November 06, 2008 at 11:15 PM EST #

this series is amazing!(: omg my fave character would have to be london simmons! i love the way ariana dresses as well! omg i totaly cried my heart out when i thought that was the last book...haha i can't wait until privelige and paradise lost comes out[:love you!xx

Posted by vicki on November 07, 2008 at 12:12 AM EST #

um i have a question...who agrees with me that it could've been Josh who died? that would be so sad :(

Posted by vicki on November 07, 2008 at 12:13 AM EST #

Yea, Reed, Noelle, or Josh could have been shot OR a totally random person. Or it could have been Sabine who got shot by like the police or something...AMBIKA: You totally have a point. If Josh does survive, what if he still doesn't want to be with Reed? Of course he still has strong feelings for her, but can he just end his relationship with Ivy? What if Ivy and Josh do have a special relationship too? Obviously, Ivy said she really liked Josh.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 07, 2008 at 12:20 AM EST #

maybe now that ivy and reed r like friends, she will respect both of them more and understand that reed and josh have a really big thing going on between them. but who knows. its only a suggestion. we'll all just have to wait and see!! i cant wait!!!

Posted by javajuice on November 07, 2008 at 12:46 AM EST #

omg! this series is absolutely amazingg. my friends and i absolutely love them and i never want them to stop. i could read them a million times over and over. i know i was a late starter, i just started in septemeber but im done with all of them and am anxiously awaitng privelege. i really really loved Ariana until, well you know. so yeah. my favorite character now is

Posted by cookiebatchh(you wouldnt understand) on November 07, 2008 at 05:21 PM EST #

srry my computer is mean to me. haha. anyway my fav character now is Reed!

Posted by cookiebatchh(you wouldnt understand) on November 07, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST #

1. Im kinda late. ): but i was a bumble bee. (: 2. Okay totally LOVED Last Christmas. But i think my favorite part was when Ariana was in the basment with Thomas and he was knocked out. She saw the "hot" teacher everyone was crazy about with her friend. I like it casue its when Ariana realizes everyone at easston has secrets. And its her first blackmail.(: 3. Agh! CANNOT wait. i knooow Ariana will cause soo much trouble. 4. The suspence is killing me. LITERALLY. you totally killed me with the ending to revalation. "and everything went black." WHAT IS THAT! push up the release date. (: 5. Reed. Shes just great. XD.

Posted by Laurawrr. on November 07, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST #

Please tell me your continuing the Private series! Im almost as addicted to it as I am the A-List and Gossip Girl and you just cant end it like that! Seriously though, i never thought it was who it was, and im one of those people that read the last pages, but not all the time, and i read it like when i was 30 pages to the end and i got so mad! Im like i just ruined it for myself!! But please continue it...i want to see Reed get back with Josh!

Posted by Brie on November 07, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST #

I know! The whole"and everything went black" totally killed me! And also for LAST CHRISTMAS, at the end of the PROLOGUE it had "everything went black". I wish Kate would elaborate on that. Does it mean that like Ariana closed her eyes when she was going to hit him?! Probably. Ivy and Reed are just neutral.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 07, 2008 at 06:35 PM EST #

OMG I can't believe how well your stories all tie together! You are such a good writer...I want to be a journalist when I grow up. As for Private novels, I can't wait for Lost Paradise. Also, is Reed dead now after Revelation? I couldn't figure it out. Thank you for reading this!

Posted by Kaitlyn on November 07, 2008 at 06:58 PM EST #

will there ever be a private movie?1

Posted by hannah on November 07, 2008 at 07:06 PM EST #

My favorite character would have to be all of them because I am a little bit of both

Posted by Gossip Girl on November 07, 2008 at 07:08 PM EST #

Jacqueline: IDK if Ivy really has feelings for Josh at all, in Ambition she just started dating Josh to get back at Reed so maybe she didn't really like him at all and just did it to screw with Reed

Posted by Megan on November 07, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST #

Oh and idha khoudeida: the models are just models. they are there to fill the cover up with pretty little girls, and so you can imagine whoever you want them to be. but they are not anybody <3

Posted by Megan on November 07, 2008 at 07:39 PM EST #

I love the private series, but it is killing me, does Reed survive? What happens if Josh decides to take her back? Would Ivy hate Reed again? I seriously screamed when I found out the next book was coming out in Febuary. It seems like it is years away. But about Last Christmas, I liked the book but the stalker was so obvious, I knew it was Sergei the whole time. Okay,that's all I had to say, love your books.

Posted by Jillian on November 08, 2008 at 01:35 AM EST #

hi, i cant wait for privilege!! i want to scream for joy! its so exciting! keep writing the books! my favourite character has to be... erm... either, reed, taylor bell or noelle lange! its so hard to decide! cant wait for privilege! keep writing the fab books for ever! ellie...x

Posted by sarah on November 08, 2008 at 12:48 PM EST #

omg thank God! when i read the last sentance of Revelation, and saw it was over, i literally freaked out because i had no idea if that was the end of the series. but i'm so glad you're making another one! i love the private series and it really got me into reading. i'm super excited for you're new series, and i have yet to read last christmas so i hope that keeps me busy until the 9th book comes out. hmm lets see..i have a couple favorite characters. i love beyond love noelle, she's fabulous. kiran was also one of my favorites, i'm bummed that she's not around anymore. portia's hilarious, i love her green fetish. reed of course. sabine too,well not anymore then of course all the guys, josh,trey,etc. oh and the twin cities! wow,i've got quite the list going don't i.. anyway, i honestly hope you continue the private series forever, like a gossip girl kind of thing, because these books are so my addiction. keep up the good work because it's definately paying off!

Posted by idha on November 08, 2008 at 02:46 PM EST #

hey i love your books they are so good! and i just wanted to ask if your new book, Privilege, is based on the t.v show called Privilege on the CW?

Posted by aliza on November 08, 2008 at 03:25 PM EST #

I have not been able to stop reading the books. I have waited, and waited for the next ones to come out since i started reading your books! They draw my attention, and when im reading i can picture what is actually happening. Im an actress, and i can totally see the Private series being made into a movie! I think that the books are very real, and very possible. Reed is my favorite character. Not just because she is the "lead" or main character, but i feel like i can really, relate to her. She is so insightful. She just wants to fit in. And over the course of the books she grows so much. She loses so alot, but still manages to stay strong through her stalker, and through losing Josh, the legacy with Dash, losing Noelle, her best friend turning out murdered her Frist love. Her ex best friends sister pointing a gun at her and shooting, and there is so much more that she goes through. Her mom was a druggie, and thats the way my biological mother is.

Posted by Amanda Mills on November 08, 2008 at 03:34 PM EST #

aliza:-- I dont think that the book privilge has anything to do with the t.v show privilged...im obbsessed with that show:P.../ and the show privilged already has a book..so I dont think it has anything to do with the other:)...but thats what I first asked too.

Posted by idha on November 08, 2008 at 04:11 PM EST #

MEGAN: At first I was thinking that Ivy just got with Josh to make feel bad too. But then I read in REVELATION: When Ivy was on the phone and excited that she will spend time with Josh during winter break. Remember that? When Josh and Reed were talking like for the first time in her room, and they overheard Ivy on the phone?

Posted by Jacqueline on November 08, 2008 at 05:11 PM EST #

Jacqueline: yeah i remeber that part, i thought about that too. Then i thought that maybe already knew that Reed could hear her since she was right next door. i guess it is a possibility, but if Josh knew she just went out with him at first to get back at Reed he will have to come back to Reed! right?? <3

Posted by Megan on November 08, 2008 at 07:18 PM EST #

your so inspiring.

Posted by Bella on November 08, 2008 at 08:31 PM EST #

MEGAN: Hm...Since I read that part, it really made me believe that Ivy likes Josh. But I've always questioned weather Josh ever really liked Ivy. So, yea Josh should go back to her...but it would be so cruel of Josh to just dump Ivy and go back to Reed. Don't you think?

Posted by Jacqueline on November 08, 2008 at 09:33 PM EST #

Jacqueline: yeah it would be cruel, but Ivy has been cruel too. Besides josh found out Reed was drugged all along just like he was and Reed forgave him, so why shouldn't he. besides it's obvious he really loves her and all (he did jump in front of her when Sabine shot, or almost shot) And you could kinda tell Josh was already forgiving Reed even before everyone found out it was all Sabine. So to answer your question: yes it would, but who cares! haha <3 P.S. I think Ivy has always really loved Gage. Remember when Reed found all those notebooks Ivy saved with Gage's name doodled everywhere?

Posted by Megan on November 08, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST #

i just finished revalation this morining!kept me suspensefull till the end! i thought it was the end of the series so i was massively shocked until i found out about paridise lost.it was tres awsome! i havent read last christmas but it's on my to-do list. for halloween i dressed up as a bimbo with my bestie:)- something VERY different to our usual look KEEP ON WRITING KATE!

Posted by Alex on November 08, 2008 at 11:54 PM EST #

I just finished Revelations, and I'm squirming inside from that cliffhanger. It was a great, unexpected ending that I knew you could pull off. Actually, I plan on keeping a calendar until Paradise Lost comes out, to count down the days. For Halloween I was a baby doll, my friend was a doll from India, and my other friend was a doll from Holland. I have just one question: Why do all of you female characters have such rare names? Reed as a girl? Ariana? Amberly? I mean, I'd like to see a good Anne or Elizabeth in there. Old families notoriously name their children with timeless labels. It's classic, and Old Money pride themselves on their classic, traditional, and sophisticated ways.

Posted by Liz on November 09, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST #

Your novels are fantastic !!I totally can't wait till febuary so i can read the next private book. I feel so into it!! With Josh and Reed and Noelle. But when her "Best Friend" totally takes a turn and ends up trying to kill her. Now that threw me off!!! I wanted to almost cry when it ended! I so wanna know what happens!!!!!!!!!! Hope time fly till Febuary!!!! P.S I was a punk rocker for halloween....

Posted by paige on November 09, 2008 at 12:43 PM EST #

WHOA you scared me for a minute with the way the last private book ended and the new privlaged books i was affraid the private series was over like that. i almost cried =p i love your boks never stop writting!

Posted by kacee on November 09, 2008 at 01:38 PM EST #

I cannot wait for Paradise Lost! I hope that the book didn't turn out as tragically as it seemed it would. Maybe Sabine turned the gun on herself and Reed just fainted? Sabine has to be my fav character, she may be a sociopath and now a criminal, but she's an absolute genius for pulling off everything that she did, especially without Noelle finding out! My fav part of Last Christmas has to be either the prologue(sooo chilling!) or the epilogue(nice way of tying it in to the first book!)

Posted by Cass on November 09, 2008 at 03:18 PM EST #

Oh, and one more thing. Would anyone here be interested in a Private message board? I'm thinking of starting one, but I won't if there's no interest, that would be a waste of time. Please post your answers here and i can see if i should make one or not!

Posted by Cass on November 09, 2008 at 03:21 PM EST #

heyy i love your books but i was wondering when the next book as in like a ninth book to private is coming out. i cant wait for it !!!!

Posted by bonnie on November 09, 2008 at 03:56 PM EST #

I love the Private Novels so much!I am so excited about Paradise Lost!!!!I wish it was coming out sooner!February seems so long away! I haven't read Last Christmas yet,but I can't wait to go pick it up. My favorite characters are Reed,Josh,and Natasha(even though she hasn't really been in the last two books). Privileged is going to be a great book..I am so glad you have all these books about Private because it just makes me more excited for PL. Ohh I was Athena:)

Posted by Alley on November 09, 2008 at 04:05 PM EST #

I am EXTREMLY excited for Private #9 and I love the end of Last Christmas when Ariana stares at Reed because that is included in Private #1!!!My favorite characters are Reed Josh and Noelle. I hope that Privleged is as good as this series! Oh I dressed up as a boy for Halloween with my friends!!

Posted by Lacey on November 09, 2008 at 04:36 PM EST #

MEGAN: I totally forgot about that notebook with Gage's name written all over it. Maybe you're right. She probably still likes Gage?? But I totally agree what you said about Josh. Josh and Reed should definately be together! (forever...ahah. I know kinda cheesy):]

Posted by Jacqueline on November 09, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST #

KATE! Plese keep the Private series going. I aboslutely love it! I have yet to read last christmas, but i just finished Revelation, and I was in complete shock. I would be so happy if the Private series went on for years to come. I have a feeling that I will not like Privilege and Last Christmas as much as Private, but that is just because i feel like no other book can hold a candle to this perfect series. please make a lot more Private books! please please please. thank you!

Posted by BRITTANY on November 09, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST #

PS, I absolutely love Noelle. I love how strong she is and how she is not afraid to confront anybody about anything. I like to highlight a lot of what she says in hopes that some of her comebacks, confronts, and confidence will rub off onto me. The best book would be one that centers around Noelle, with things she says, how she dresses, and how she acts. Good luck, and congrats on writing the best series out there.

Posted by BRITTANY on November 09, 2008 at 08:29 PM EST #

Jacqueline: Haha it is kinda cheesy, but you cant help but be cheesy when its love! (haha that is cheesy too :]) But I am kinda glad Thomas and Reed never stayed together(even though it is so sad that Thomas is gone:[) because i can tell Josh and Reed were always supposed to be together. they are Soul Mates(haha that was Mega-cheesy right there!) <3

Posted by Megan on November 09, 2008 at 08:37 PM EST #

This is my favorite series EVER!!!! i just love everything about it. the dark, secret lives of rich people are so intriguing to read! Noelle, of course, is my favorite, next to dash. I so definitely want him as my bf!! but not if i am noelle, because i don't appreciate being cheated on!!:) but this series is great!. kate, if you're ever reading this, keep writing this series because i foresee these books becoming a t.v. show that is even bigger than gossip girl is now!!! xox, noelleee

Posted by noelleee on November 09, 2008 at 08:44 PM EST #

MEGAN: Aha! You make me laugh! :] I was sooo devastated when I read that Thomas died. I totally loved him. And I also totally love Josh. And when I read LAST CHRISTMAS, I was so excited to read more about Thomas. For some odd reason I totally love him even though he does drugs and stuff(everything that I'm against). But recently I've found out that I really do like Josh over Thomas. Reed's relationship with Josh is soo much more healthy than her relationship with Thomas.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 09, 2008 at 09:07 PM EST #

OMG! I am so obsessed with the Private books! I read them all a few months ago, and now I've read them all again and I can't get over Revelation. Me and my sis were talking about it. Wouldn't it be amazing if Josh got shot (not died) and Reeds in the hospital crying over him and that out of the blue comes a guy ind isguise and he asks Reed to come and it turns out its Thomas and that he really didn't die and it wasn't his body that they found. And then Josh wakes up and Reed is faced with the desicion of choosing the guy who almost died for her vs. the guy who almost died over her. Oh and I love Gage ( sucker for bad boys).LOL

Posted by Rania Abdusamad on November 10, 2008 at 01:27 AM EST #

O M G Kate I HEART YA AND IT WOULD TOTALLY ROCK IF YOU SOMEHOW PUT THOMAS BACK IN TO THE MIX. YOU COULD PROBABLY MAKE IT LIKE ARIANA WAS SO SAD OVER WHAT SHE DID THAT SHE DIDN'T NOTICE THAT THOMAS WAS STILL ALIVE AND JUST BADLY INJURED AND SINCE HIS BODY WAS OUT THERE FOR 2 WEEKS, ITS NOT LIKE THEY COULD BE SURE WHO IT WAS. SO MAYBE THE BODY THEY FOUND COULD HAVE BEEN THE LATIVIAN EXCHANGE STUDENT OR MAYBE SHE KILLED DANIEL ( HER EX), OR MAYBE SHE WAS SO DEPRESSED OVER THOMAS THATS HE KILLED SOMEONE WALKING ACROSS THE ROAD AND THEN HAD TO HIDE HIS BODY. AND THOMAS COULD HAVE BEEN " ROUGHING IT" IN ONE OF HIS FAMILY'S MANY ESTATES. ANYWAY I HOPE YOU KEEP THIS IDEA IN MIND.

Posted by Rania Abdusamad on November 10, 2008 at 01:39 AM EST #

hey do you know whats really weird? Noelle Always knows everything right? And shes been friends with Ariana forever right? Then isn't a little suspicious that Miss always-knows-everything didn't know Sabine was Ariana's sister. Also suspicious, didn't both Reed, Cheyenne, and Noelle all have access to the Billing disk with Sabine and Ariana's files included in it as past and current residents. I know Reed blew it but what if part of the reason Sabine killed Cheyenne is because she found out Sabine's dirty little secret that she was in fact the sister of the infamous Ariana. And another what if, remember when Reed over heard Cheyenne tell Sabine to get something in Legacy or Confessions when they were doing that initiation thing. What if that something was the very pills Cheyenne/Sabine drugged Josh with and used to kill Cheyenne. Oooooh gripping. Anyway comment back especially you Kate. Love to hear ur thoughts.

Posted by Rania Abdusamad on November 10, 2008 at 01:50 AM EST #

I LOVE your writing! The private series is my favorite teen book series of all time. I'm obsessed!! I'm currently in the middle of reading Last Christmas. Normally, I read a book of that size in a day or two, but I want to soak the plot in. Thats how amazing I think it is! My favorite part so far is when Ariana finds out that Daniel had a list of girls he "scored" with, and that Ariana was just another girl on the list. The revenge was sweet. The detail you put into your writing is magnificent. Never change that! I never thought that reading from Ariana's point of view has been more enjoyable for me than reading from Reed's point of view. Theres so much that I didn't even realize about her, and so much more I want to find out. Thats why I can't wait for Privilege! But I can't forget about Paradise Lost, I'm dying to know what happened to Reed (and Josh!!). Thanks again Kate, for creating such an awesome series. I hope Private will last at least fifty books! Hey, a girl can dream.

Posted by Patty on November 10, 2008 at 05:46 PM EST #

someone already asked this question i forget who it was but ill ask agian.... if Reed sees Thomas the day after the "inccedent" then when was he murdered? the murder was at night, im pretty sure, but he was gone for morning Announcements a few hours after he talked to reed? idk maybe i read it wrong but soemthing wasnt right to me... also one book series i read (Twilight)Stephine Meyer has a day where you can send in questions about the book that just came out and she'll answer them, i think it would be really cool if you did something like that,becuase i know i have a few questions :], thanks for amazing books i love reading them!!

Posted by amanda on November 10, 2008 at 05:50 PM EST #

oh wait i meant to say she used to let you send in questions, its not ganna happen anymore cause there over :[ haha soory i had to say that cause it would have annoyed me, really i thought i should metion it being i forgot to say something.... my friends think that Ivy is cheating on Josh, so he'll find out and reed will be like "SEE IT WASN'T MY FAULT" and he'll be like "OK" (but in a more adorable way) and they'll go back out. **thats what my friend thinks, she doesnt post on here so i said it**, what do you guys think!!

Posted by Amanda on November 10, 2008 at 06:03 PM EST #

Jacqueline: aha thank you! :} you make me laugh too! but yeah i totally agree with you, Thomas was so unhealthy for Reed. I also think Josh understands her better( besides the whole hating Bilings thing :)) He just doesn't realize how much Bilings has helped her (even though she has been almost killed twice now, but who is counting?! ;] ) <3

Posted by Megan on November 10, 2008 at 06:09 PM EST #

Amanda: Noo Thomas talked to Reed before he was uhh. . . kidnapped :] I guess he just couldn't commit to the promise he made to Reed or just wanted one more time with the drugs and alcohol. and I also thought that maybe Ivy was cheating on Gage( what a but head :0 ) haha <3

Posted by Megan on November 10, 2008 at 06:30 PM EST #

opps i spelled butt wrong :} haha

Posted by Megan on November 10, 2008 at 06:36 PM EST #

I just finished Last Christmas and all i have to say besides that I read it in five hours it was fantastic. It was amazing, I don't usually like prequels but this one is the BEST BOOK EVER. I am so happy you decided to write it because I never liked Ariana but I really felt bad for her in a way. I am happy you told her story and is going to keep it. BUT I NEED TO KNOW WHEN IS THE NEXT PRIVATE COMING????? You ended it and I literally cried for hours. I am on the edge of my seat because i want to know what happens. PLEASE CLUE THE READERS IN, ON YOUR PLANS. P.S> LOVE all of your BOOKS, you are such a good writer. Can't wait to read more.

Kate Brian, I hope you never stop writing. Your books are amazing. The drama is so good, its not typical girl drama from like the gossip girl novels. Its so much more deep and intense. I'm on Legacy, and I've been told that every other book only gets better. I hope you continue this series after paradise lost! Thank you for writing such entertaining books <3333

Posted by grace on November 10, 2008 at 09:56 PM EST #

hola!!!!!!!!! i LOVE ur books virtually all of them!!!! especially the PRIVATE series!! i just have a quick question... hOW mANNY PRIVATE bOOKS wILL tHERE bE???

Posted by Briana on November 10, 2008 at 09:57 PM EST #

I'm so excited for Paradise Lost and Privilege, I cannot wait to review them! It's to bad I probably won't be able to get them :/ But I'm going to try my very hardest!
Last Christmas was brilliant by the way, and my review got a lot of my friends into the series ^.^ I think my favorite part was when Melissa confronts Ariana when Daniel is in the bathroom, I can't really say why it was my favorite but it was.
Privilege sounds sooo good, since Ariana is my favorite character (psyco or not she's still my favorite, next to Josh and Thomas anyways ;]) I cannot wait for it, I'm like counting done the days (there's a reminder in my cell phone!)
And Revelation was soooo good, but it left me hanging and I'm dying to read Paradise Lost!

Omg, i soooo cant wait until Paradise Lost!! Does Reed die? i wanna read it so bad....February can come any slower than it is now :D

Posted by Alycia on November 11, 2008 at 09:51 AM EST #

1. I dressed up as a greek goddess :) 2. The whole thing! I loved the scenes with ariana in thomas room and someone behind her. 3. So excited! 4. Can't wait! It seems soo long away, im suber excited. 5. Hm definitly Reed I love Noel though, the twin towers are pretty funny.

Posted by Rachel on November 11, 2008 at 03:50 PM EST #

MEGAN: Yea, Josh is such a better person/boyfriend. But what makes me sad is that Thomas might have actually wanted to change for Reed; and become a better person JUST for Reed! But we'll never know! Which sucks like crazy. And if Reed did stick with Thomas, she'll be using all her time on trying to help him, and it wouldn't really an enjoyable relationship.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 11, 2008 at 04:09 PM EST #

OMG. HUGE private fan. i love kiran. i aspire to be like her (except for the drinking problem) lol. anyway, when is she gonna be in another book? but whateva... im reading the comments and i hav yet to finish revelation soo i prolly shouldn't because their talking about Reed dying. thats absurd! Reed didn't deserve any of this. its noelle that deserves to take the fall. lol. someone should have offed her instead of Thomas if i do say so myself. well anyways, love you and your ahmazing books. you have a gift to be able to intrigue the minds of sooo many teenage girls! Bria <33

Posted by Bria on November 11, 2008 at 05:03 PM EST #

Posted by vica on November 11, 2008 at 10:12 PM EST #

I have read all of the private books including Last Christmas. I love them! they are so good and you are such a good writer. i cannot wait for Privlege to come out and until i read this i didn't knwo there was going to be another Private book. I gasped when i read that! i am beyond excited for it! I loved Last Christmas. i think my favortie part would be when she wakes up in Thomas's arms and he tells her he's not letting go of her anytime soon. it's so sweet! i thought it was wierd though how i felt about Ariana. In the Private books i didn't like her once i found out what she did but in this one i was sympathetic towards her and liked her alot more. Kinda the way i felt about Reed, sometimes i would forget it was Ariana i was reading about. I also think it would be really cool if Private could be made into like a movie or tv series but i dont think that is in the future but hey you never know. Thanks for amazingly addicting books!

Posted by Katie on November 11, 2008 at 10:25 PM EST #

I was wodering if there are going to be more of the Private series. Seeing how the last book ends how will we find out what ends up happening?

Posted by Ginger on November 11, 2008 at 11:35 PM EST #

My favorite part of Last christmas was.... when Thomas keeps trying to seduce Arianna and she plays along w/ it. my favorite characters are Noelle, josh, dash. you always need a bad boy. oh and kiran. i'm sooooooo exited for the 9th book!! is it gonna be in arianna's point of view or Reed's? i also really cant wait for Privlidged b/c i bet it'll show how sabine and arianna planned the whole thing!! it seriocly should be a movie or something!! i would totally watch it.

Posted by Emma on November 11, 2008 at 11:42 PM EST #

ok well for Halloween I dressed up as little red riding hood, my favorite part of Last Christmas was Daniel taking away Sergei's camera idk why but it was. I'm sooo excited for Privilege and Paradise Lost! And my favorite Private character is Kiran, I always luved her bitchiness, shes awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI3g952CJAo I made a video of what I think the Private characters look like, I forgot Constance and Natasha though, oops!

Posted by Rebecca on November 11, 2008 at 11:43 PM EST #

OMG!!!!!!!!!! You are like the best author in the world. I love your books and have read every single on in the Private series. My favorite part of Last Christmas was when Thomas kept flirting with her,it was hilarious .I'm so excited about it that I ask the librarian if I'm going to be the first to get it, since our library gets it two weeks prior publication. I cannot wait for the new Private,I'm so excited about it.My favorite Private character is Reed because of her attitude. Are you ever going to do a book signing at West Jefferson High School in Harvey,LA?Please say yes.I'm your #1 fan. XOXO, Dulce Chimilio

Posted by Dulce Vanessa Chimilio on November 11, 2008 at 11:57 PM EST #

can you give us a preview of what's going to happen in the new Private novel? p.s. what are you doing for the Thanksgiving holidays?Are you friend with Melissa De La Cruz? I want to become a famous writer too.Maybe on day we will sit together and talk. * I might sound weird, but I'm a person who loves to read. My friends think it's weird,but I don't.

Posted by Dulce Vanessa Chimilio on November 12, 2008 at 12:02 AM EST #

OMG!! i just luv ur books!. i think you are amazing! i can't wait for the 9th book in the private series Paradise Lost! i havn't read Last Christmas yet, but im reading it tomorrow sooo i just can't wait for that!! also im soooooo excited about Privilege it will be just great but im more excited about Paradise Lost cause i will then finally find out what happens to EVERYONE!! my fav character has to be...Josh i think he's sooo sweet and cute. xx

Posted by Nazra on November 12, 2008 at 02:31 PM EST #

Ah, you are an amazing writer. I was just about to ask you if you were still making private books and then i read the last question :) so i'm soo happy. but i'm super phscyed for privliged too, kinda.. hah i don't really like ariana so much the prequel was so sad. when i was reading it i'm like why did thomas have to die?! forreaaal but yeah, i'm soo excited to see what happens to reed & how ariana gets out of prison (i think she should deff be in there for life.. she killed three people!) & how kiran's party goes... if she still even has it? she's def my favorite character, or ivy.. idk. <3!!

Posted by megan on November 12, 2008 at 02:53 PM EST #

oh and how many more deaths can there be?! just sayin...

Posted by megan on November 12, 2008 at 02:54 PM EST #

i was just reading and the way i read two comments right after each other made me think!with kirans party and when will she be back in the books? well if reed gets hit then i deff. think that Krian would come to visit her! which would make me happy cuase i miss her... does anyone else think that Taylor just left to quickly? like her part isn't quiet done yet? NOELLE IS DEFFENTATLY MY FAV PERSON IN THE BOOK i just wanted to say that casue someone said she thought should noelle to die!! i was like WHAT?! i mean yeah shes mean, but shes like a great friend to have around when you need someone to back you up... just saying haha

Posted by Amanda on November 12, 2008 at 05:09 PM EST #

Hey Kate! I think your books are amazing and I am so excited for the ninth to come out! The anticipation is killing me!! I think you are one of the greatest writers around today! By the way have you ever thought about making a movie because that would be so amazing! When I read your books I see it like a movie in my head lol, I think it would turn out great!

Posted by Kia on November 12, 2008 at 05:43 PM EST #

AMANDA: I totally agree that Noelle can be such a great friend. She's the type of person you want on your side and to have her respect. But she's also the type of person who you don't want to get in a fight with.

Posted by Jacqueline on November 12, 2008 at 06:49 PM EST #

OMG OMG!!!!!!!! i LOVE the private series! its the only thing i will read outside of school stuff! I am SOOOOOO excited for paradise lost to come out! u left Revalation at such a cliffhanger! i so wasnt expecting ANY of that!

Posted by katie molnar on November 13, 2008 at 10:09 AM EST #

I am sooooooo excited for the new Privatte book. I am going to be reallly upset if Josh dies. I dont think Reed will, but i can't wake for it to come out. This is by far the best series I have ever read. I think they should make it into a seried like Gossip Girl. Only this Private would be soo much better because the books are amazing. They are so adictive and i really want Paridise lost to be out already. Once a book comes out I read it right away, and then i go nuts waiting for the next one to come out! I sucks beacsue i think Josh will die, but i hope he doesnt

Posted by Izabella on November 13, 2008 at 05:18 PM EST #

I love your books. can't wait for privilege. & btw my names Noelle. nice to see cool names in the book <3 (:

Posted by Noelle on November 13, 2008 at 06:26 PM EST #

I love your books! They are addicting I have read every private book and I am looking forward to paradise lost and privilege. Reed is my favorite character because i think that she can relate to a bunch of people that might have family issues but she rises above it! I love kiran also i cant wait until her party and if she comes back into the book i will be so excited. I love your books and everything that has happened is soooo unexpected. I hope you will continue to write more private series books because i am a huge fan of them THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND DEDICATION TO THEIR FANSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finished Last Christmas a couple days ago and it was AMAZING! I loved seeing another side of Arianna. Turns out she is just as manipulative as Noelle. I also loved how you kept using the line "You never know what your capable of until your pushed to the limit Arianna" or whatever that line was before she killed someone. It practically gave me chills. Can't WAIT for Lost Paradise and Privilege. I love your books, keep writing forever!

Jacqueline: I think you are totally right about Josh, but i can not help to wonder that maybe if Thomas grew up with a family like Josh's he would not have turned out the way he did. Josh grew up with a big happy family while Thomas had parents who barely showed any affection and a brother that hated his guts. You really cannot help but blame the parents for Thomas's life <3

Kate, i love your writing and you cant EVER finish this series because that would break my heart!

For halloween i went to a masquerade. My dress was purple.:)Personally I loved Thomas, Josh is cool too though. I can't wait for Paradise lost... great title by the way, and Last Christmas was really interesting. It answers alot of questions...

Posted by Jessica on November 14, 2008 at 05:48 PM EST #

Omg! The Private series is my life! For Halloween i was ms. muffet (: But anyways. I thought Last Christmas was really good! It answered so many questions! I'd have to say my favorite part of it was when Ariana and Thomas were doing it in Daniel's room. I thought it was perfect payback! I am unbelievably excited for Paradise Lost! But I'm so upset that i have to wait until February :[ but of course i will read it<3 I'm not as excited for Privledge but I'll still read it, 'cause it really does seem good. My favorite character from the books would have to be Noelle, Reed, and Josh. I just hope none of them die. Cause at the end of Revelation i was dieing for more! I also hope that Reed and Josh get back together, they're perfect for each other! I'm so excited for February. Never stop writing the Private series! Your amazing! (:

Posted by Rayne on November 15, 2008 at 05:50 PM EST #

OMG!!!! I'm atucually MAD because how you ended Revelation! AHHH! I ADORE your books, but i NEED TO KNOW!!! I'm going insane! LOL. But I think i LOVED Last Christmas wayyyyyy more than the orignal Private because my favorite character was Arianna because i always knew there was something behind her. And Thomas too, because he was soo hilarious! So when it came out it was just AWESOME! Also, I finally get and understand everything Arianna did and why. THANK YOU FOR THAT!!! EEP! I'm extactic for Privlegded (sp?) and anixous for Paradise Lost! Feb is sooo far away! Also, btw, I was an 80s arobics instructer for Halloween, and my boyfriend was a banana! WERID! LOL KEEP WRITING TILL YOUR HANDS BLEED FROM PERMENANT CRAMPS! WHICH I"LL BE NEVER!! YAY! i hope!

Posted by Jessie on November 15, 2008 at 08:04 PM EST #

im really a huge fan of the series, and i originally just it up one day because the girls on the cover are dressed in my style. but when i got into it, they really are great. they are original, but you can relate to the characters. i like reed, josh, astrid, rose, and i liked taylor before. i love noelle, or love-to-hate, because she's just so evil and awesome at the same time. for halloween i was this super hot flapper with feathers and a mini dress...good border between sexy and slutty. had a blast! love you kate!

Posted by Mary Jo on November 15, 2008 at 11:58 PM EST #

PLEAASSEE continue with "Private" series! I want to know what happened AFTER the gun shot! I started with your first book "Private" and have read through Revelation in less than two weeks! You are a beautiful writer. You have such an eloquence with words. Now, please- continue the next book with this series before continuing with your new series! Thanks!

Posted by Clo on November 16, 2008 at 12:34 AM EST #

First of all I have to say i LOVE the private series. <3 1)For Halloween I went as Noelle Lange, all my friends love Private so they thought that was super awesome! 2)I loved all of Last Christmas. So amazing! Everything Ariana and Thomas was so cute. 3)I'm seriously going crzy waiting for Privilege, I know from the first chapter that it's super awesome. One question: is Ariana mad at Noelle for everything that happened? 4)I NEED to read Paradise Lost ASAP. Plz dont kill Josh and Noelle, they're the best or Gage he's hilarious. and obviously Reed. 5) I love all the characters but...my favorite is and will always be the lovely Noelle Lange. Everyone says that me and noelle could be twins from how we look to our personality and even our boyfriends! very cool. Anywayz I love your books!!

Posted by Nicole on November 16, 2008 at 10:53 AM EST #

I love private!!!! I didn't get to dress up this year... I want private to be a movie. I totally could play Reed. Well I have short dark brown hair and freckles but.. can't wait until more books come out

Posted by Siobhan Donohoe on November 16, 2008 at 12:35 PM EST #

kate brian, you are my absolute hero. the private series have changed my life entirely. i can't put them down. i finished ambition in four hours i was so attached. right now im in the middle of revelation, and im loving every second of it. your series are the best i ever read, and ive read a lot. its got everything from murderous victims, scandulous schemes, ruthless characters, & never-ending drama & suspense. in my opinion, and i think i speak for every other fan out there. you should def. make these series into seperate movies. your books would get even more attention. people would be lining up just to try-out. if you were to have a movie, i'd be an excellent reed. i could play her in a heartbeat. i've gone through the same emotions, and when i was reading these stories, i could feel as if i was in her place, and i felt as if the things happening to her was happening to me. i could feel an emotion on que.

Posted by leslie on November 16, 2008 at 12:44 PM EST #

i'm a professional actress, i've done plenty of acting lessons, commercials, and plays. i've had many experiences. so please i beg you to have a movie. if you do plan to have one, can you please put up when it starts and ends for auditons, and all the information. i would love to audition. and if i have to, i will change my hair color to reed's. im a pure blonde, but if i were to star on this movie as reed, i will dye my hair for it. i've always wanted to go brunette, and this is an oppurtunity. i love your series, && i cant wait till the ninth book of the private series. im counting down the days, it just can't go by fast enough.

Posted by leslie on November 16, 2008 at 12:45 PM EST #

to answer your questions; i was little red riding hood for halloween, my fav. part of last christmas is the suspense, and how you get to see what's going on through ariana's eyes and her perspectives on everything, and i want to know who was following them, i'm so excited for privledge, because i can't believe ariana osgood is still torturing people's lives, as if she hasn't done enough damage, i want to find out what she has over this new person, and how they'll be able to handle it just like reed did. my favorite character is reed brennan. because she has been through a lot, from her boyfriend being murdered, going after her dead bf's best friend, josh hollis. having the Billings Girls treat her the way they did, finally being accepted, hooking up with Noelle's boyfriend, and dealing with all the murderers, and what she has done to prove her self worthy of this school, she doesn't go down that easily without a fight.

Posted by leslie on November 16, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST #

yeah, people might blackball her and make her go crazy, people might whisper about her and all the things they hear about her and spread juicy gossip, & yes they might ruin her life so she is utterly terrified, but she stands tall in the end, and she always figures things out in the right moment. she is a hero, and i truly wish she were real. but maybe there is a reed in all of us, i know there's one in me. so thank you soo much for writing these outstanding novels, you seriously don't know how they change my life. (:

Posted by leslie on November 16, 2008 at 12:46 PM EST #

Hey Kate!! I love your books. You got me so hooked on private novels I swear. lol. Since I started reading your books late because our library isn't really too updated I was a little behind. But now I finally caught up I'm on book # 6. I really do hope you keep writing private novels because these books are awesome!! But I have 1 quest. In the next generation books starting with inner circle to revelation, who would you say the models on the cover rep.?

Posted by Na'Kesha on November 16, 2008 at 02:22 PM EST #

Hey! I've heard things about a tv show/movie? Is this true. I'd love to see it, but i'm not sure if it might ruin it for me, I love imagining characters lol. :) Great books!

Posted by Rach on November 16, 2008 at 02:40 PM EST #

Kate please come out with another private book! i'm totally addicted to you books! i'm going to buy Last Christmas soon but i want to know what happens to Reed! at the end of Revelation I was soooo shocked! i am really looking forward to reading more of your Private Series novels! Thank you!

Posted by Elyssa on November 16, 2008 at 02:42 PM EST #

Oh thank you! I kept wondering when the next Private book was coming out, I love the books SO much!! I just hope Reed and Josh get back together. Reading about them were probably my favorite part in the books. I've read all of them and even Last Christmas, I read it in a day it was so good. And expectially cause it involved Thomas and the very first part how Arianna killed him, i thought it was soo sad. But I CANNOT wait until February, PLEASE HAVE JOSH AND REED GET BACK TOGETHER!!!

Posted by Lauren on November 16, 2008 at 02:46 PM EST #

WHY KATE WHY!??!? why do you have to be such a great writer???!? you got me addicted to these books and i dont think i can handle waiting until FEBUARY for Lost Paradise! this is INSANE....

Posted by Nancy on November 16, 2008 at 03:50 PM EST #

Thanks so much i was also wondering when the next few books were coming out. I think my favorite book so far is Last Christmas. I go back from my party picked it up and i read and read until i finished. around 1:30am. it was amazing. It was so sad in the begining when Ariana killed Thomas. My friends thought i was crazy for reading the books so fast. my favorite part of revelation was the ending although i wanted to know who Sabine shoot. It was an amazing book. I love your writing. Cant wait till privilege comes out. by the way. What date exacually does it come out im hoping to get someone buy it for me for Christmas.

Posted by Rachel on November 16, 2008 at 08:14 PM EST #

I can not wait for Private 9 and i am so happy to hear that there is another one comming out!! at the end i was so confused if reed died, and im so thankfull that there is another book explain what happened. I am also excited for a new series, i know i will be great! these are by far the best books i have ever read, i can never put them down! You are an amazing writer. For halloween i was a rave-chick, i wore neon clothes; a neon green zebra shirt, black leather skirt, pink tights, and tons of glow-sticks :]

Posted by Chelsea C on November 16, 2008 at 09:00 PM EST #

i know this is random but can anyone think of some quotes from the book?

Posted by niki on November 16, 2008 at 09:12 PM EST #

Kate I think that you are an amazing writer. I think the series should be a movie. I think others agree. I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!!!!!!!

Posted by Bryanna on November 16, 2008 at 09:40 PM EST #

1. I'm dressing up as Alice in Wonderland! 2. My favorite part was all of it haha 3. I'm WAYYYYY excited! Too excited for my own good! 4. I'm SOOOO so excited for Paradise Lost too! Even if the cover models are kind of scary haha 5. Noelle, hands down. No one beats Noelle! I also really liked Taylor, you should bring her back! :)

Posted by Sarah Lynn! on November 17, 2008 at 04:34 PM EST #

Kate- Pleeeaaazzzzeeee DONT make this series a movie! first of all it will totally ruin it and instead of reading the books people will just see the movie. trust me, i say that about Harry Potter! hehe <3

Posted by Megan on November 17, 2008 at 06:18 PM EST #

about the movie thing i would think it would be kool to make it into a movie as long as they put EVERY SINGLE part of the book in there otherwise it might ruin it

Posted by komi on November 17, 2008 at 07:30 PM EST #

i swear i seen this kid that looks just like what i think that joshua hollis would look like on a car commercial nd he had on a sweater just like the one that read thinks is sexy on him aha!!!!!!!! : )

Posted by jennie on November 17, 2008 at 08:24 PM EST #

JENNIE- SaMe!!! if you go on Forever21.com there is this guy that kinda sorta would look like josh, but josh would be hawt-er, of course!

Posted by Niya on November 17, 2008 at 09:23 PM EST #

You know what would be an awesome song for the soundtrack if they make a movie for untouchables?.....got it now? Well, if not, untouchable by the veronicas, it definitely relates to josh and reeds relationship in that book:), I really miss him:( it seems like he is so far away now...

Posted by Niya on November 17, 2008 at 09:24 PM EST #

Hi. I really like all your private series books. I've always had the burning question in my head of who the people on the front covers are supposed to be. I've read about who the people on the first four books are, but I still haven't found out about the rest of the series. If possible, could you please let me know about that because I've always wanted to know! Also, is Reed ever on any of the covers? Thanks!

Posted by Afsana Allidina on November 19, 2008 at 06:13 PM EST #

Um. this is to Kate. will you be continuing the series from Reed perspective. or are you ending it w/ Revelation? Because honestly, i don't ever want it to end. with the way that the last book ended, is it possible to end it? to me, there isn't, you sorta left me speech less. i wanted more, when it was ending:( but i love all of your books:)

Posted by Deja Jackson on November 19, 2008 at 06:45 PM EST #

ahhh omg i loved revelation!best of the series!and my fav character is def Noelle.she is awful sometimes but i cant help from love her.i prob love her so much because she does alot of things i would do.i cant wait for paradise lost!!!! keep up the great work!!

hey, oh my god i love the private series its amazing i read last christmas within 24 hours. i just have a question in the last private book at the end how it said josh jumped in front of reed and sabine fired the gun and it then it all went black who got shot?

Posted by Beth Cutter on November 21, 2008 at 02:39 PM EST #

I'm super excited for the next private book because Revelation had no mention of another private book, so assumed it was the last and was very disappointed.

Posted by Jessica Riffle on November 22, 2008 at 05:28 PM EST #

I CAN'T 4 PARIDISE LOST and prillivage my fave character is REED AND Marc Still i can't wait i'll going 2 die if i don't read it soon

1. i was alice in wonderland 2. when arianna killed thomas 3. very very VERY excited 4.pgppgpgp,gmgggspgjzbjnzdbzkjsncznghjfd Sosoosos flipping excited!!! 5. noelle of coarse!!!

Posted by Grace on November 26, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST #

1) Didnt dress up :[ 2)All of it, I love the chemistry between Thomas and Ariana, and it was cool to get into Ariana's mind even though she's psycho lol. 3)SUPER XCITED 4)OMG the waay Revelation Ended was crazyy, I gasped at the end and was like noooo. I cant waittt! 5)Hmmm, I'd have to say Noelle, Reed,Josh, and Thomas In that order, Josh and Thomas are on the same level

Posted by Nicole on November 29, 2008 at 01:15 PM EST #

PLEASE DONT LET REED DIE. everything was getting better for her. She and Josh need to get back together and she needs to get back into billings. i cant wait to read paridise lost!

Posted by jackie on November 29, 2008 at 06:07 PM EST #

I'm glad that Ivy's won more fans now, since I've always found her fascinating. Really hope she and Reed maintain their loose bond; it's quite interesting.

Posted by JC on December 01, 2008 at 06:17 AM EST #

Okay, so I just finished Revelation. So she didn't for sure die, right? If Reed died than the series is over for me and if Josh died than the series is not only over but being thrown in the trash. Josh is so hot and Reed is so perfect and they just can't die. Maybe she went into shock or something, not that unlikely. But honestly, Ms. Brian please don't kill off Josh because I can't go through that whole Reed constantly thinking about her dead boyfriend/ALWAYS being mopey thing again. I mean of course she'd be that way if her boyfriend died so how about just don't kill Josh? Please Please Please. Thanks.

Posted by Peyton on December 01, 2008 at 06:12 PM EST #

Kate, I LUH-V your work!!! So I'm guessing that Reed didn't die in "Revelation". Yay!! I can't wait to read Paradise Lost and I am getting "Last Christmas" soon and I am getting "Privilige" as soon as it comes out!!!!!! Keep writing!!!! Your beloved fan, Hayden P.S. They totes(my version of totally) need to a movie or tv show out of the Private series!

Posted by Hayden on December 02, 2008 at 10:00 PM EST #

I have to say you are very talented. I admire your work and i love reading your books. Every time a new one is released, i stay up all night reading. I have to say Noelle is my favorite as she is to everyone else. She is so complex and hard to read. It keeps her character interesting. I am so excited for Privilege to come out. When i read Last Christmas it totally changes how you see Arianna and many of the other characters. Thanks so much for doing what you do :)

Posted by Ashley Nicole on December 04, 2008 at 08:40 PM EST #

OMG! Kate I loveeee ur series! they r just 2 good! i luv uuu, u cannot kill josh OR REED! I luv them both sooo much! and i am sooo excited for Paradise Lost, I can't waitttt!!! =] plz dont kill josh or reed!!! =]?<33

Posted by Zaina on December 10, 2008 at 04:49 PM EST #

I absolutely love this series! I have like all of the books and they are all so amazing! I can't wait for the Privileged series to come out! My favorite characters are are probably noelle and josh! ( not together) But, noelle is a little braty but, you can tell that deep down she is a caring person, especially for Reed. Josh is sooo sweet and I think he is great with Reed!I love this series, please never end!!!!

Posted by Erin <3 on December 13, 2008 at 04:48 PM EST #

kate i love your series but how many private book are going to be after the ninth one?

Posted by katie on December 14, 2008 at 11:53 AM EST #

So there is going to be a Private 9??? i was sooo confused at the end of the last one... i didn't know if Reed died or she just passed out or something because i noticed in Last Christmas how when Ariana killed someone it said "everything went black." Does this mean Reed really didn't die???

Posted by Caroline V. on December 15, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST #

I absolutly loved last christmas, i did feel slightly sorry for ariana but she kinda got jealous and carried away with the killing sprees, but i still cant belive she could kill thomas after all that, and it was harsh he left her. It was a good plot about Isobel and Mr Holmes, i enjoyed that, and i enjoyed Arianas payback on Daniel. I read this book before Revelation so im reading that tonight, and i so cant wait to read privilege .
