New Year, New Series!

Hi everyone,

It's already December 17th which means...PRIVILEGE is almost here! YAY! If you pre-order it online, there's a *chance* you'll get it before the holidays. Can you imagine anything better than curling up in front of your fireplace with an awesome new book and no homework to do? I can't! But don't worry if you can't get it early--it hits the shelves on December 30th, leaving you plenty of time to read all about Ariana's latest adventures before the New Year.

Speaking of the new year, Ariana isn't the only one who get's to start fresh in 2009. Got any plans for your New Year?

Love,
Kate

Posted by karina on December 17, 2008 at 09:29 PM EST #

Nothing interesting planned for the holidays. Just some reaing, baking, and lots of family time. Hopefully some reading of Privilege.

Posted by [Alicia] on December 17, 2008 at 09:59 PM EST #

did reed die? i just finished last christmas and it was one of the best books i've ever read. i hope that reed is still alive, I CANT WAITT!

Posted by shira on December 17, 2008 at 11:02 PM EST #

hey kate!! plannin to collect my life back and start afresh...this year is gonna be different.. btw, I have a question - how come noelle did not know sabine was arianas sister?? I mean she was her bff and plus she was the president of billings, so noelle being noelle would have looked at arianas file,right?? and she would have seen sabine at Arians house during the holidays or somehting,right??I mean she could have not not known about sabine at all could she??thanks a lot!! btw, I stay all the way on the other side of the world ;P

Posted by avantikka on December 18, 2008 at 03:18 AM EST #

Avantikka- i thought that too but what i think is that noelle trusted Arriana and so she thought she wouldnt HAVE to look at her info... who would look up there best friend? wouldnt you know... expect that you already know it? also, omg i just read the first chapter...i dont think anyone even thought of Ivy! but im confused wasnt there only one shot? and that girl she passed out and died? haha maybe i read it wrong but it confused me...but totally good!

Posted by Amanda on December 18, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST #

wait! is there more private books coming out? and what is going to happen to reed! will we ever find out?!

Posted by Izzy on December 18, 2008 at 05:59 PM EST #

Posted by vicky on December 19, 2008 at 10:47 AM EST #

Posted by Ambika on December 19, 2008 at 12:17 PM EST #

YEAH! thank god you posted that first chapter. i had to read it twice untill it all clicked! I honestly couldnt stop smiling through reading the whole thing, it was so good.

Posted by sabine on December 19, 2008 at 12:42 PM EST #

Go to privatenovels.com, it's the first thing you see. Then, scroll down, you'll see a picture of paradise Lost book. The caption is like "We couldn't stand making you wait, so here's a sneak peek." click on that

Posted by Mema on December 19, 2008 at 12:42 PM EST #

Hey...did anyone else look at the case file with all the new stuff about Ariana? You've got to have flash to look at it, but it's really cool.

Posted by Kristin on December 19, 2008 at 01:42 PM EST #

Okay Ty Mema. I just read it! Omg it was amazing! i want josh and reed together. but josh is doing to right thing.

Posted by Ambika on December 19, 2008 at 03:40 PM EST #

Kate, I just wanted to say that this has been by far the best series I've ever read. I have read all 8 books in less than a month and a half. I can't wait for Paradis Lost to come out, can't wait to see what happens next. I had one question though, should I read The Last Christmas now before Paradise Lost or read it after. I know that may seem strange but, its the Prequel. I just wanted to know if I should read it first. Mel

Posted by Melanie Warren on December 19, 2008 at 05:01 PM EST #

Let me see.... My plans include reading PRIVILEGE, then Paridise lost!!! and oh yeah, checking out this awesome blog! not to mention passing notes in class with friends saying how amzing this series is! lol we actually do that... but what can i say, Language arts is just SO boring when you are in an all-girls class!

Posted by Madison on December 19, 2008 at 05:30 PM EST #

the first chapter of Paradise Lost was amazing!!!!!!!! i couldn't believe Ivy go shot. but that thing on the home page where it says, "we can't stand making you wait so long for Paradise Lost, so we're giving away a sneak peak" is totally messed up!!!! if that's true, the release date for the book should be moved up at least a MONTH!!! i really can't wait until February to find out what happens next and i'm sure everyone here agrees with me.

Posted by Maja on December 19, 2008 at 05:39 PM EST #

omg omg omg i CANNOT wait for paradise lost. is privledged a whole new series? its from arianas point of view right? and like is it what is happening during all the rest of the stuff back at easton? or after? i hope its good.how many books do you think your gunna write this year?

Posted by ali on December 19, 2008 at 06:29 PM EST #

Privledge, is how ariana is after is out of easton. How she is doing. and etc...

Posted by Ambika on December 19, 2008 at 06:31 PM EST #

AH!!! OMG!!! The site looks ah-mazing!!!!! And the whole Ariana's look transformation!!! I'm speechless!!!!!!!

Posted by Jacqueline on December 19, 2008 at 07:04 PM EST #

i can't wait! also, i was wondering, who are the models for the covers?

Posted by PORSHA on December 19, 2008 at 07:35 PM EST #

I love your books! You write so well you make me jelous of the Billings Girls. i think you are an ahmazzing writer. PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION IN YOUR NEXT BLOG:::::ON THE FRONT OF INNER CIRCLE, LEGACY, AMBITION, AND REVEALATION WHO ARE THE MODELS SUPPOSE TO REPERSENT!?

Posted by meg on December 19, 2008 at 08:04 PM EST #

AHHHH! I read Paradise Lost 1st chapter, and I was really surprised Josh wasn't the one shot! Also: I really want Reed/JOsh together, but I like Ivy/Reed as friends and I hope that in the long haul Reed and Ivy can remain friends when Josh and Reed get back together!!!!! Cannot wait (all my friends and I used to have weekly book-club meetings each time one of your books would come out, so hurry up Paradise Lost! WE'RE WAITING!

Posted by Taylor on December 19, 2008 at 09:32 PM EST #

My plans for the new year? I haven't really got any, other than to stick to my new year's resolution, whatever that ends up being. :D Because I never do stick to it. I'm seriously excited for Privilege! I absolutely loved Last Christmas, it being through Ariana's POV, so I can't wait! Though I'm most excited for Paradise Lost. I just finished reading the first chapter, and I was so relieved and sad and happy at the same time that I actually felt ill! I think I had a minor panic/heart attack at the end of Revelation. That's how shocked I was. Can't wait!!!

Posted by Courtney on December 19, 2008 at 11:34 PM EST #

Not much compared to Reed, Kate! Maybeee squeezing in time to do more writing and research. Not to be blunt (at all ;-)), but I'm looking for my real Dad. Life's been a novel lately. But from what I've heard, there's no time like the new year to start fresh! Can't wait for more Privilege!

Posted by Renae on December 20, 2008 at 02:15 AM EST #

My plans for the new year is to get my essays done for transfer applications for film school at UCLA. It is my goal to one day be a screenwriter and recently I have realized that if I work hard I might actually be able to accomplish my goal. I've been working hard all fall finding out as much as I can. Now all I need it to write some killer essays.

Posted by Mattie on December 20, 2008 at 02:27 AM EST #

Kate can u pls tell us who the models are on the covers of inner cicle through revelation? i want to know who sabine is!!!!!!

Posted by Priyanka on December 20, 2008 at 09:51 AM EST #

Hey kate! your books are awsome!i would just like to know how many there are going to be in this whole series!?! there are so many i want to get to and end!!i need to finish them soon! well i luv your writting keep it up and i hope the books come to a good end! by the way...who the heck are these people on the covers!?? i want to know what charactors are which if they are even the charactors...

Posted by Brandi on December 20, 2008 at 10:52 AM EST #

KATE: CAN YOU PLEASE UPLOAD THE PARADISE LOST CHAPTER ON YOUR MYSPACE? IM TRYING TO READ IT FROM THE HOMEPAGE HERE BUT IT WONT WORK!!!!

Posted by amber on December 20, 2008 at 12:09 PM EST #

omg. i just read the first chapter in paradise lost. I LOVE IT. i can't wait for it to come out! but i want josh & reed back together so bad! it's so torturous the way you get this feeling he still loves her, but loves Ivy too! ahh! && cant wait for priveage and i have some plans for new years (: yay

Posted by Chandler on December 20, 2008 at 02:22 PM EST #

I loved the 1st chapter of Paradise Lost. It's so good. And does Josh love Ivy also? I mean, he'd only been dating her for a little bit. And he dated Reed longer--just glad to know he still loves her. I hope they get back together. Also, Kate Brian,I've noticed you changed Josh's eye color from green to blue. And Hale Hall to Hull hall(not trying to be blunt or anything...just saying.) But I love your writing... COULD YOU POSSIBLY MAKE PARADISE LOST COME OUT IN JANUARY?!

Posted by Christina on December 20, 2008 at 03:46 PM EST #

josh is doing the right thing but i really dont want him to cuz him and reed need to get back 2gether nd that little forhead thing is so romantic my boyfriend does that to me when im sad

Posted by jennie on December 20, 2008 at 05:46 PM EST #

Posted by christina on December 20, 2008 at 07:32 PM EST #

Christina: well idk about the eye color thing, but Hell Hall is what the students called it. it wasn't its real name, it says that in the book =)

Posted by jennie on December 20, 2008 at 09:42 PM EST #

Posted by ellie on December 21, 2008 at 09:40 AM EST #

Okayy i just read the first chapter of Paradise Lost and i seriously can't wait till it gets out!!!! I hope Reed and Josh get together!!! I know that I would like really suck for Ivy, but still Reed an Josh are like ment to be!!! Don't think i'm like a creep or anything but i kinda wish Reed got shot and survived, because both Josh and Noelle would be there like all sad for her and stuff and I don't know I think it might have been better. But I'm glad Reed's okay(obviously I'm glad), but I do still wish she got shot and survived and saw Josh and Noelle there waiting for her to wake up! ***Kate can you please make Paradise Lost come out sooner?!?!?!****

Posted by Jamie on December 21, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST #

so far i've read the first chapter of Privleged. i actually really like ARiana. shes so dangerous and you never know what she will do next. im not saying i want to be like her because if i had to pick a character to be id be Reed. but im saying that she is the best to read about. i love knowing what she is thinking inside her head instead of Reed wondering what shes thinking behind her peircing eyes. so yeah i cant wait for the book. im getting it the day it hits shelves!

Posted by cookiebatchh(you wouldnt understand) on December 21, 2008 at 12:34 PM EST #

Posted by Paige :) on December 21, 2008 at 05:07 PM EST #

OMG I WANT TO KNOW WAT HAPPENS NEXT! I finished reading Revelation and I loved and hated the end of the book. Please tell me that is not the end I want to kno if Josh n Reed get back together now that I don't hate Reed for what happened nemore since it wasn't her fault for what happened at the legacy w/ Dash.

Posted by Christine on December 21, 2008 at 08:14 PM EST #

I just about died when i read revelation, and then when i reasd the 1st chapter i was so happy Reed was okay! i am not really worried about the whole Josh and Ivy thing because Josh will eventually have to go back to Reed, i mean COME ON they are like the perfect couple =)

Posted by megan on December 21, 2008 at 08:26 PM EST #

Nothing really just going to my own paradise in California for a little bit and then going back out to where I live and hopefully my parents are going to get me a gift card to a book store so I can buy Privilege.

Posted by Laura on December 23, 2008 at 12:08 AM EST #

Would you ever consider writing a sequel to "Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys"? You left it kind of open at the end....I loved this book so much that I couldn't put it down and I never wanted it to end. I read it straight through, without stopping!

Posted by Carrie Wallace on December 23, 2008 at 02:56 AM EST #

I just finished "Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys" and I honestly think its so amazing. I wish that it would never end. I love your style of writing and you are truly my idol. Please never stop writing. Gonna start "Sweet Sixteen" tonight! (: Thank you so much for becoming an author!

Are you going to come out with any non series books anytime? Just wondering cuz I love your other books beside private and priveleged too!!

Posted by Vica on December 28, 2008 at 02:44 AM EST #

i was at the book store yesterday and the books werent out, so it obviously depends on the store/where you live, it also depends how early they stock the shelves, just so you know :] thats probably why some people got it early and the other people (like me :[) have to wait.

k, i have a question for KATE BRIAN or anyone who can answer remember in "ambition" dash sent reed an e-mail but she never read it. WHAT WAS IN THE E-MAIL? i am dieing to know!!!!

Posted by AAA on December 28, 2008 at 10:41 PM EST #

Just wanted to kinda add on to my last post on the previous page about the loose ends and cliff-hangers. I don't know if you were planning to...but one thing from the first book that stands out in my mind is the scar above Noelle's hip...i think that you should tie that in to something somehow...

Posted by Ash on December 28, 2008 at 10:51 PM EST #

dear kate. i am absolutly obsessed with the private novels. i have a questions so is the next book a run off of last christmas or of revelations?? another question in revelations who died josh or reed!!! i need another book about that!! haha thanks for the great books!

Amanda- i hear you, i have to wait also. it's killing me! i want to know what ariana is planning. If she will get back at reed. oh it would be so cool, if one of the private books, ariana came back to finish off reed! and sad at the same time for reed. Jeez, i can't wait for feb. It seems soo long.

Hi! I LOVE the private series! I am halfway through Revelation! Why can't Reed and Josh be together?! Seriously, it would be awesome if in one of the books they got back together. I'm not even finished with Revelation but I already want to read the next book! Thanks for writing them!!!

Posted by Ariana on December 28, 2008 at 11:45 PM EST #

Heyyy I just started getting into these books and i finish them in like 2 days but i started on 8 and im not sure of the order of the books can anyone help me out?

Posted by victoria on December 29, 2008 at 12:47 PM EST #

I went to a bookstore on the 27th and privilege was already out...but I live in Canada and I'm thinking "Since when do we get books early in Canada?" Or "Since when do we ever get books 3 days earlier than they're supposed to come out?" It was really weird, but I bought it anyways. Awesome book!

Posted by Samantha on December 29, 2008 at 12:49 PM EST #

KATE I HAVE A QUESTION. please answer in your next blog! or somehting. are you ever goign to tell us what was in the e-mail dash sent reed that she never read?

Posted by Missy on December 29, 2008 at 04:13 PM EST #

Posted by Missy on December 29, 2008 at 04:19 PM EST #

Posted by Aly on December 29, 2008 at 05:37 PM EST #

Posted by Niic on December 29, 2008 at 09:01 PM EST #

victoria- if you dont see this ill post it on the other one but first is private then invitation only,untouchable,coffesions,inner circle, legacy, ambition, revelation, and in Feb the ninth book comes out which is paradise lost, last christmas is the Prequle which you shouldnt read until you get threw the first book

Posted by Amanda on December 30, 2008 at 06:21 PM EST #

Dear Kate, I know this is completley irrelevant to the book but can you not make a movie or programme out of the series because I would love to play Noelle Lange when it does and when I become old enough PLEASE WAIT

Posted by nina on January 03, 2009 at 07:54 AM EST #

Hey everyone i was thinking noelle got the scar from liposuction and it left a permenant mark...does that make sense?

Posted by nina on January 03, 2009 at 07:57 AM EST #

Does Reed and Josh get back together? Please, i have to know...... They are a perfect MATCH!

Posted by Leah on January 07, 2009 at 05:31 PM EST #

OMG!!! this is very uncool!! i HAVE TO KNOW!!! ah!! but really, josh and reed are so perfect for each other. and they both love each other. is there a reason that they can't be together?! (besides ivy, but really?!)

Posted by rebecca on January 07, 2009 at 09:11 PM EST #

omg i am in love with your books but i have one question when is paradise lost coming out i am dying to read it when is the release date? omg I hope Josh and Reed get back together but how much i would hate reed to go back 2 billings she has to because it makes the story much interesting because you never know whats gonna happend. so much suspense i love your books so freaking much. ahhhhh. i want to know more!!!!!!! but josh and reed neeed 2 get back together or at least get a better guy idk someone that she really really loves more than josh and thomas if your gonna do that!

Posted by jordan on January 14, 2009 at 09:14 PM EST #

I'm soooo excited =] can't wait to read the 9th book paradise lost.. and looking forward to reading privileged!! :D

Posted by Ashley on February 09, 2009 at 01:29 PM EST #

Is it me or did the company took money and effort on the cover of paradise. It's badly photoshopped and really kills all the nice covers from the previous installment. Please if your going to photoshop, do try to make the models actually look like they are in the same room, and not floating! And I'm not going to even start with the lighting and the hair! p.s. I'm hoping the cover i saw on amazon is different from the real thing.

Posted by Anna on February 21, 2009 at 02:41 PM EST #

ahhh omgg i finsihed paradise lost it was soo amazinggg pleassee hurry up kate and come out with suspicions soon i literally can not wait to see what else happens ahhh hurrry please!!!
