Thanks for releasing it early if thats what you intended. =) I have a question that really really really needs an answer::: Who are the models suppose to represent on the covers of Inner Circle, Leagace, Ambition, and Revealation??? i am dying to know!! Can you please blog about it?! i think you are a ahmazing writer. i even read fake boyfriend and loved it! You explain the story so well that i actually envy the Billing Girls!

Posted by Sheila on December 30, 2008 at 03:05 PM EST #

Hey Kate can't wait 2 read it been waiting 4 it feels like 4ever!!

Posted by Vanessa on December 30, 2008 at 03:39 PM EST #

Im sorry, but i just cant forgive her for what she did to thomas........

Posted by madison on December 30, 2008 at 04:31 PM EST #

MADISON, Same here. When I was reading LAST CHRISTMAS, I was always opposed to Ariana. I mean, hello!, she killed Thomas! Thomas Pearson! But I'm still in the beginning of PRIVILEGE, and I'm content with her.

Posted by Jaqueline on December 30, 2008 at 05:23 PM EST #

omg, I love the series! You are a fantastic writer:) I say you have to be the best I have ever read before! And that is a big complement because I have read MANY books, but this is my all time favorite I am so in love with Ariana and how great of a character she is! Keep it coming because I know I will keep on reading:) Love -Cheryl

Posted by Cheryl on December 30, 2008 at 05:57 PM EST #

KATE BRIAN: i was thinking and i know you said you read the comments...so: i know the whole point of the Private series is Reed& friends at Easton, BUT i really think that the series would end way way, way before it needed to if it stopped at Graduation senior year. Basically i was just hoping that you would consider extending the series. Reed at college would be very very interesting :D

Posted by Amanda on December 30, 2008 at 06:07 PM EST #

me again, i forgot to say PRIVILEGE is really good i bought it at 10 this morning started reading at like 2ish and am currently on 114(which is kind of slow for me)i havent put it down and my dog is mad at me for neglecting it all day lol. im glad i started reading it i was going to wait becuase i thought it would spoil things that happen it Private and was glad to find it was two years in the future

Posted by Amanda on December 30, 2008 at 06:13 PM EST #

victoria- i also posted this on the other page 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 06:23 PM EST #

Posted by Kia on December 30, 2008 at 06:37 PM EST #

I got privilege yesterday. I dont know why it was at barnes and noble yet. But i couldnt put it down and it was amazing!

Posted by Kaila on December 30, 2008 at 07:16 PM EST #

Posted by danni on December 30, 2008 at 07:19 PM EST #

I was seriously shaking when ariana killed a certain someone!!! I'm soooo excited for all of the books to come!! I can't wait, so I'm re-reading the whole series:)

i just finished privilege because I got it from amazon today. I read it in around three hours, thats how amazing it was! I loovveedd it but I wish that Sabine had been mentioned because that's a big part of the plot in the private series. oh well anyways it was amazing and I can't wait to read Beautiful Disaster and Paradise Lost!

Posted by sylvie on December 30, 2008 at 10:51 PM EST #

Privilege was AWESOME!!!! Ohmygosh I loved it. I can't wait for Beautiful Disaster && Paradise Lost(my computer is dumb so I can't read the first chapter:[ )

Posted by Tess on December 30, 2008 at 11:10 PM EST #

i loved privilege but i have a problem with trying to read the first chapter of paradise lost!and i am obsessed with trying to read it! do you think you could have someone fix the problem?plaese and thank you!

Posted by michelle on December 31, 2008 at 12:44 AM EST #

Now I really want 2 read Privilege! I just read all the comments & it sounds so good! My parents wouldn't take me 2 the bookstore 2day. I told them I'd walk there, but they didn't want me 2 cuz it's like zero degrees here in Chicago! Can't wait 2 read it 2morow! Kate Brian, I luv ur books. I agree w/ the comment that said that u should write about Reed in college. I have one theory 4 Paradise Lost: Amberly was working w/ Sabine. It's possible. They were roommates! Also, mayb Ivy isn't innocent after all, altho I'd like her 2 b.

Posted by I <3 Josh!!! on December 31, 2008 at 12:54 AM EST #

hey just read privledge it was amazing!!!!!! i cnt believe wat happened in it!! best book every kate. by the way cn u plz release paradise lost earlier.

Posted by Priyanka on December 31, 2008 at 01:53 AM EST #

omg i loved the whole book. i got it on christmas day and finished in TWO days! i cant wait tell nexxt year

Posted by $Tayy on December 31, 2008 at 11:52 AM EST #

Privilege was really good. The twist with kaitlynn was good as well because in the end it was kind of reverse-reverse psychology and i thought that was a really good ending. I just don't see how ariana thinks she deserves a life after shes killed so many people and betrayed so many people that she's loved.

Posted by Ash on December 31, 2008 at 12:14 PM EST #

at first i felt bad for Arianna but now i dont like she was so STUPID a crime of love? no im sorry but killing thomas wasnt out of love it was cause something is working right in that girls brain lol! but i love how complex she is good book kate! and she fought so hard to get her "life" when all shes doing now is identety thief? that girls a little crazy! LOVE the part where the billing girls are at the funeral!

Posted by Amanda on December 31, 2008 at 02:24 PM EST #

I read Privilege but I found one inconsistency when Ariana and Briana are at the club with Hudson and TJ it says that Kaitlynn is wearing a tan leather jacket but it is Briana.

Posted by Kasey on December 31, 2008 at 02:37 PM EST #

i just finished it and i thought it was so good. but when noelle and kiran and taylor were at the funeral i kinda wish reed would have been with them or she at least would have been there. it would have been fun to see how ariana reacted to that. also i want to hear some referance about what sabine did to reed and chyenne and what ariana thinks about all of that.

Posted by sabinnne on December 31, 2008 at 02:43 PM EST #

I just bought yesterday and I can't wait to read it!

Posted by Cece on December 31, 2008 at 03:33 PM EST #

omg, i think privlege is gonna be sah-weet! but Kate, r Reed and Josh eva gonna get back to gethter?? its creul them nawt being together! **holla atcho gurrlll**

Posted by elaine on December 31, 2008 at 04:47 PM EST #

OMG!! Kate i loved Privlege!!!! I made my mom go to Borders before she came home from work and i stayed up ALL night reading it! It was perfect!! I felt so bad for Ariana when she watched her feurnal. And when she put her necklace on Briana Leigh.I think that she is going to regret putting it on her body. I can't wait for Paradise lost to come out in Febuary! My grandma got me all the Private books for christmas and i am rereading them for like the 3rd time now! I can't wait for Beautiful Disaster to come out! Why in July?!?!? It's sooooo far away!!!! Oh well. I guess its worth the wait! Thanks soo much for writing the Private and the Privlige Series! (P.S. I've read some of your other books and i loved them!!)

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

I read the book and it was awesome! But there is something that confused me: On page 219 it says "Kaitlynn was wearing a buttery tan jacket- a piece of clothing that Ariana actually would have worn herself-and with her new short blond hair, she actually looked sophisticated for once." Isn't it supposed to be talking about Briana Leigh??

Posted by Caty on December 31, 2008 at 06:53 PM EST #

Yay!!! im so excited for privelege!! can u believe the borders around me were already sold out!?!? now i have to wait till friday to get it. i read the first chapter though and im sooo excited!!! thanks for being such an awesome writer kate!!!

Posted by victoria on December 31, 2008 at 07:02 PM EST #

Loved privilege!! Me n my friends think ariana is like a cireal killer. Is she?

Posted by Paige on December 31, 2008 at 07:16 PM EST #

Or am I just going crazy like Ariana does sometimes??

Posted by Caty on December 31, 2008 at 07:18 PM EST #

Loved the book! It was totally one hundred percent awsome just finished it yesterday!

Posted by Laura on December 31, 2008 at 07:20 PM EST #

hey!!! so i really liked privlege but i love the private series so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!! im not a big of ariana espacially cause she kills someone again!!!!!!!!!!! but still really liked the book!!! Happy New Year!!!!

Posted by Jagoda on December 31, 2008 at 07:22 PM EST #

Kate, I'm half way through Privilege. It is so good, i can't put in down even for a second. I'm always trying to think of Ariana's next move, but you get me by surprise. I can't wait to read what you got planned for Ariana. Love your books!

Posted by Ambika on December 31, 2008 at 07:25 PM EST #

Ariana was my favorite character in Private!

Posted by Amanda on December 31, 2008 at 07:25 PM EST #

HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES NOW GO TO A PARTY THAT WOULD MAKE EVEN NOELLE JELOUSE WOOOOOO! (by the way i loved this book)

Posted by Missy on December 31, 2008 at 09:05 PM EST #

Can somebody comment on my first comment?? Did anybody else realize that or am I just crazy??

Posted by Caty on December 31, 2008 at 09:28 PM EST #

I am about to start Privilege :). I bought it the day it came out, but I still had to read Revelation and Last Christmas (BTW both were AMAZING). I can not wait for Beautiful Disaster or Paradise lost! Also, I agree with someone else who commented: The cover of Paradise Lost inside the front cover of Privilege is better than the one on the site :)

Posted by Justin on January 01, 2009 at 04:56 AM EST #

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!! i hope it rocked ur socks off. **holla atcho gurrrlll**

Posted by elaine on January 01, 2009 at 11:55 AM EST #

I LOVED PRIVILEGE! The twist at the end was so good. The second Briana said she killed her dad, I knew she was done. But how does Ariana have the right to kill her? Sucks for her in the end because it was Kaitlynn. One thing I noticed in Private (the first book) was the day Thomas got drunk and pushed Reed, the Billings girls took him to the field and Ariana killed him. That part was okay. But what I didn't get was how he came the next day to her dorm and was talking to her about how he needed help then disappeared. Did I miss something? Anyway, can't wait for the next books!

Posted by Bella on January 01, 2009 at 01:23 PM EST #

Bella, i think that they might have brought him out to the forest after he talked to Reed or something ....wait that doesnt even make sence :( ...ya good point idg it either But anyways after reading Priviliged i really got how cycotic Arianna was......how willing she was to kill someone so that she could protect herself. I felt awful for Briana Leigh....but somehow i had the feeling from the beggining of the book that everything was gonna happen this way. I liked Privilige but i seriously can't wait for Paradise Lost...I kno everyone is saying that they dont want Reed to go back to Billings but I really want her to and Josh....i dont get whats the big deal with him, he isnt that amazing....anyone with me on this?

Posted by Maria on January 01, 2009 at 02:02 PM EST #

I read Privlege in one day and I am yet again stunned at how bad the good girl of Easton,Ariana, went.I'm anxiously awaiting the next book in June and of course, I'm still desperate to know what became of Sabine, Reed, Josh, and the whole Easton gang in Paradise Lost. Will Sabine go all cerial killer when she finds out about Ari's death??? And of course, the thought that has crossed all of ur loyal readers minds, did anyone die??? And the other obvious Q, will Josh and Reed ever get a happily ever after in their treacherous, secretive world??? What Would Ivy Do If R&J got back together??? So many questions& so many people waiting for an answer.

KATE BRIAN i cant wait for the second book... beautiful disaster!!! but thats a looong time. my birthday is in june and i m gonnna get it thank you Kate Brian for writing another novel that i cant live without LOVE, Madianna

Posted by Madianna on January 01, 2009 at 05:27 PM EST #

Posted by Madianna on January 01, 2009 at 05:29 PM EST #

i got the book a couple days early nd i bought another book at the same time nd i read that book first i just cant get as into this book as i do with the private books sry i dont mean to say that iys not good cuz the part i read was good but its just not the same but i still love ur books kate nd im gonna read the whole thing 2nite nd im sure ill be back with comment that says how its a killer book ily

Posted by ambreal on January 01, 2009 at 06:57 PM EST #

OMG!!!!!!! I just finished it and it was amazing. She is so crazy , and i dont like her but i liked the book . i like how she is now becoming some one else, but i wish they would have talked more about noelle and the billings girl and what is going on with them. BUT I CAN NOT FOR THE NEXT ON IN THIS SIRES and PARADISE LOST

Posted by CB on January 01, 2009 at 07:18 PM EST #

Privledge was GREATT!! I loved it. It would be amazing if at some point Privledge and Private could twist together, just for a book, although it would be kind of difficult with the different release dates and all. But I got goosebumps at the end when she saw all her old friendss!! Omgg it would be so great if you could some how twist them both. I thought that at the end you were going to have the Gradma send Briana to Easton instead of her school so Ariana would actually be going to school with reed again for her senior year. But I loved the real ending too and CAN"T WAIT for the next one!!

Posted by Casey on January 01, 2009 at 10:10 PM EST #

hey the part with thomas comming back, he dnt come back, when ariana saw him coming out of reed's dorm (after the part in woods) was when she noelle karian and taylor took him to the field. when he went to visit reed he was on something. the billings girls took him that night not the night b4

Posted by Priyanka on January 02, 2009 at 10:02 AM EST #

i never thought i say this but i actually hope everything works out for Ariana. I mean when i read Private i absolutely hated her but now i just feel sorry for her. she is still crazy and all! i mean killing Briana Leigh? wow thats crazy. i absolutely loved the book and i cannot wait for the next! i especially loved how you added like a whole nother Billings girls into the college! it is genuis!

Posted by megan on January 02, 2009 at 01:21 PM EST #

I read the book and it was awesome! But there is something that confused me, a lot!: On page 219 it says "Kaitlynn was wearing a buttery tan jacket- a piece of clothing that Ariana actually would have worn herself-and with her new short blond hair, she actually looked sophisticated for once." Isn't it supposed to be talking about Briana Leigh and not Kaitlynn??

Posted by Caty on January 02, 2009 at 01:43 PM EST #

Okay I just have to say that I think I'm in love with a series. Seriously. I just finsihed Ambition and I am obsessed with starting on Revelation. I know I'm a little late and all but I can catch up pretty fast. I just read the first chapter to Paradise Lost and I really can't wait to read that one. I hope that Reed and Josh get back together. A love like theirs cannot be ruined or separated. Seriously. But yeah I love these books. No lie. Kate Brian you are a genius. And also one of my new favorite authors of all time.

Posted by Sam on January 02, 2009 at 02:21 PM EST #

wow privlege was so good! i never expected to like ariana as a character but i do . i was actually rooting for her through the whole book! it was kinda weird considering shes a murderer.... but anyways i cant wait to read paradise lost! feburary seems soooo far away though! i cant wait to find out if ariana will eventually go back to easton and "visit" reed. i love reed she's so down to earth! but yeah i love your books kate ! please dont stop writingg because this is the best series i'VE EVER read! :)

Posted by LAUREN ! :) on January 02, 2009 at 02:29 PM EST #

The book was amazing :) It was really good and it was very enjoyable... but just why why why did she have to kill you-know-who ?? (I don't wanna spoil this for other people) and I was really sad about the "fake death". But anyway, I can't wait for Beautiful Disaster ...

Posted by Sabrina F. on January 02, 2009 at 03:14 PM EST #

OMG, Pribilege was amazing. C: Not as scary as Private can be at some times-though it's good, because it keeps me reading, heart pounding-but I can tell this series will be amazing. I can't believe Ariana is going to do what Reed had to do-anything to get into "her" new school's 'Billings House'. But I can't believe she killed someone...again. And about Kaitlynn. She had seemed SO sweet! :C

Omg, just finished privilege today! It was amazing, the entire book was truly amazing,I was only upset when Ariana didnt pretend to be BL, and go talk to Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor. Its been to long since weve heard from their characters. I think if Ariana went to Easton pretending to be BL, it would have been good. But maybe Ariana's going to A.P.H Will be good. Maybe someone there is related to Noelle, and will bring Noelle back into the flip of things. OMG im thinking ahead tooo much. The book was amazing cant wait for the next one. -Kaity McCormick

Posted by Kaity on January 02, 2009 at 05:29 PM EST #

OMG!!the book came out on the 26th and I was like...OMG!!!:D...I cannot beleive Ariana got away..OMG....Nd she..."died"....These are my favorite series....Ugh..I whish Reed and Josh would get back together...I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE IT!!! DO NOT STOP WRITING THE PRIVATE SERIES...NOR...THE PRIVILGE SERIES!!YOU ROCK KATE BRIAN!

I love your entire series and privelged. I have all of them except for the first book of private which this girl in my class keeps forgetting to return. Anywys keep on writng and I wanted you to know hat you've inspired me to write my own series. It's called the MerDrag series and my firend and I write two different views of a set of twins who at first don't know one-another exists. I just wanted to let you know you inspire people or 13 year olds lke me. And to keep doing what you're doing. Bye P.S. I wish I was able to send you my version of the first book in our series.

Posted by Shanice on January 02, 2009 at 07:27 PM EST #

omg . i just got this book [ Privilege ] and finished it today ! It was totally awesome . It was nothing I expected at all . When I finished [ Last Christmas ] ; I was ... feeling like I knew everything . But this book changed it all . I had no idea who to trust from [ Kaitlynn ] to [ Briana Leigh ] . I love your books , they always have a twist I don`t expect . Can`t wait for more !!

Posted by marygrace on January 02, 2009 at 07:57 PM EST #

Hey Kate! I am a huge fan of the private series, and I was really excited when privilege arrivied yesterday in the mail. I stayed up all night reading it, and I finished this morning. It was so good I couldn't put it down! The entire time, I always kind of liked Briana Leigh, and I was so upset when she um...don't want to spoil anything for anyone else. When it was revealed in Confessions that Ariana was the killer, I was totally shocked, and I thought to myself 'how could she ever have been the killer?' It is just really interesting to hear her thought process. I can't wait for Paradise Lost, but I also second what someone else wrote on this comment page. Who are the cover models supposed to be for Inner Circle, Legacy, Ambition, and Revealation? I'm thinking they've got to be Sabine, Constance, Reed, and someone else, but I'm not sure who is who. I love your books, and DON'T STOP WRITING THE SERIES! IT'S JUST TOO GOOD!!!

KATE I <3 YOUR BOOKS IS THERE A WAY YOU CAN PICK SOME MODELS THAT LOOK LIKE THE GUYS AT EASTON B/C YOU ONLY SHOW THE GIRLS. IF THERE IS A WAY POST IT ON THIS SITE PLEASE.KEEP ON WRITING PLEASE!

caty your not crazy i noticed that too but thought it was a typo so i forgot about it. josh and reed 4ever please!

Posted by Alli on January 02, 2009 at 09:30 PM EST #

caty i noticed it too i thought i just was going crzy or not understanding it so i spent lk 3 min trying to understand it. but then i gave up so i guess it was a typo. by the way great books kate and can u plz tell us who the models r for the entire private series? ur books r great never stop writting!

Posted by Priyanka on January 02, 2009 at 10:44 PM EST #

OMG. Kate! Privilege was soooo good. It had me guessing all the time! I was almost positive Briana Leigh was lying and I believed Kaitlynn, but then... OMG! I cannot believe Ariana killed another person, and another innocent one! Then Kaitlynn really was crazy! Ahh! Great, great spin-off series!! I kinda miss Ariana's trademark blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and her fleur-de-lis necklace but that's all behind her now as she is now Briana Leigh Covington and Ariana Osgood is "dead". Kinda sad! :( But I cannot wait to see what happens in Beautiful Disaster, where I'm sure we'll see what happens with "Ana" at Aherton-Pryce (sorry if wrong sp. don't have book right here now!). This is a great series, but I will always love Private as well! Where it all began!!!! XOXO Blair

Posted by Blair on January 02, 2009 at 11:14 PM EST #

P.S. Caty! OMG u r soo right. I read that and was like... huh? They're talking about Briana Leigh... right? But then I realized it was just a typo. Ur not paranoid :D still, awesome work Kate!! :D

Posted by Blair on January 02, 2009 at 11:16 PM EST #

Priviliged was a good book but i dont understand a few things....i get that Ariannas necklace meant everything to her and all but just cuz Brianna Leigh was wearing it Aand had blond hair doesnt mean her face structure would be exactly like Arianna's.....in real life that plan so would not fly, people would recocginize that it wasnt her....aaand i seriously doubt stealing brand name stuff is that easy, and getting out of the cyco place - that was a joke...all in all i though the book was good but seriously unrealistic

Posted by Fiona on January 03, 2009 at 12:03 AM EST #

OMG i got privilege wayyy early and had to unplug my computer to keep from posting spoilers! X3 Anywayyy, i wanted to say-Fiona, they wouldnt be able to see if Briana Leigh's face structure was that different-she was kinda decomposed (ew). But even so, the book kinda stressed how Ariana and Briana Leigh looked kind of like twins. Third-did anyone else notice? Ariana and Briana-cute. Its like, Character A and Character B. Same last 5 letters, and sooo funny how that worked, huh? KATE, did u do that on purpose? Kate, is there any way you can bump up the release dates of Paradise Lost and Beautiful Disaster? PLEASE? Finally, did anyone else catch that in LEGACY, Noelle was talking to a "willowy girl with auburn hair" who didn't seem to like Reed? Would that be Briana Leigh? Or Ariana? Or SOMEONE in Privilege?

Posted by Aeria on January 03, 2009 at 04:58 AM EST #

PS-I just remembered! Does anyone know which E.L.F cosmetics were used one Ariana's "after" pic? I really, really like her makeup and I look like her (kinda) except that my hair is dark brown, not "auburn". Kate, if you know, can you tell us in your next blog? *super sweet smile*

Posted by Aeria on January 03, 2009 at 05:01 AM EST #

I read Privilege, and it's absolutely amazing. I cannot believe that Briana Leigh was killed. I mean, Ariana should have known that the vodka was speaking, not her. Haha. And for the covers, Kate Brian, I think you should request like, all the Private Characters on it. Just like, the people in the book, not necessarily Cheyenne and Ariana or Thomas. And make Paradise Lost come out sooner, please! Feb. is too far. And for some of you who commented, it's Privilege, not PrivilegeD. Get it right, Haha. It's sorta obvious Josh and Reed are gonna get back together, they are soo perfect and adorable.

Posted by Vicky on January 03, 2009 at 10:42 AM EST #

OMG. i loved this book.I espeacially loved when ariana went to her own funeral! that was said, but it was funnny how noelle kiran and taylor were there!!!! and paige and daniel!!!! wow! cant wait til BEAUTIFUL DISASTER!!

Posted by alli on January 03, 2009 at 11:15 AM EST #

I'm sorry but the cover model's are confusing me. From all the book's which one is reed? And is the model on the back of inner circle ivy? I mean whoese the blonde on cover of legacy? These are the burning questions i have and i would appericate it if i got some help. thanks

Posted by Tychelll aka new bee on January 03, 2009 at 02:04 PM EST #

will reed come back into the privilege series? i want to know if arianna will go back to easton. kate i loved/hated your ending. keep on writing please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love your books and site but it would be cool if you put pics with all the suspects in the suspect list. it might be hard to do kate but very much appreciated. what's after paradise lost? will you release a sneak peek soon? i am rambling but me and my friends always talk about your books really in depth. thanks for writing these books. i love how authors share there talent with the world. they are like entertainers in there own special way.

Posted by May on January 03, 2009 at 02:45 PM EST #

sorry me again but that last sentence my there should be their. working on my grammar but it is not my forte. =]

Posted by May on January 03, 2009 at 02:47 PM EST #

how come arianna's hair isn't short on the cover of privilege? it seemed like it was important to the story line b/c of brianna leigh's makeover andthomas's blood. oh i just wish thomas was still in the stories b/c his character added good twists or at least more of a memory of him. anyway josh and reed need to be together. you can feel their connection just from reading about it. MAY DONT WORRY GRAMMAR SUCKS!

Posted by Kale on January 03, 2009 at 02:58 PM EST #

yay number 102!omg privilege was sooooooooo good!i cant wait for paradise lost and then also beautiful disaster in june!but june is quite a bit away :(.I love your books!!!!and i really hope josh and reed get back together!

Posted by gabby bishop on January 03, 2009 at 03:48 PM EST #

Oh my gosh! So I really wasn't expecting much from Privilige, I mean it centers around my least favorite character ever. And when I heard that you were going to write a whole series about Arianna, I was disappointed because that means taking time away from you when you could be writing more private novels. (I LOVE Reed and Josh!! AHH) So I bought the book, planning on reading it just for something to do to pass the time while waiting for the next Private book. I was not expecting to like it, at all. But I did! Not the way I like Private... in a different way. I mean, half the time I just keep thinking what a psycho Arianna is! But I was completely entertained! I hope my liking the story doesn't mean I'm a psycho... :P So I am curious to see what happens next. Good Job Kate!

Posted by Amanda on January 03, 2009 at 05:29 PM EST #

I really enjoyed Privilege. It was refreshing to see Ariana again and in a different setting than Easton. It was full of wonderful twists and turns that kept me reading. And of course it gave me a thrill when we got a glimpse of Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor again. Congratulations on another magnificent book. =]

Posted by Nicole on January 03, 2009 at 05:43 PM EST #

I LUV thw private series and they just keep getting better and better privilage is Awesome but kaitlin is such a lier how could ariana not see tht. And how could she hate Reed, she rocks!!!!!!!!Go private!!!!!!

Posted by aly on January 03, 2009 at 05:56 PM EST #

Heyyy there, i was just wondering to anyone that reads these blogs is if Privlage is good. I am trying to find one but i couldnt so i should check Barnes And Noble. So who ever reads these comment me back and tell me if Privalage is worth reading... ;-- Kelsi

Posted by kelsi on January 03, 2009 at 06:36 PM EST #

I just finished Priviledge and I loved it! Ariana is the most unlikely protagonist, you don't know whether to root for her or against her and that's what makes this series so interesting. The plot line was unexpected and it is seperate from the Private series while still keeping all of the mystery that makes Private irresistable. You have a hit with this one!

Posted by Kelly on January 03, 2009 at 08:24 PM EST #

happy new year everyone!! i just finished Privilege and it was AMAZING (Kelsi-you should definitely read it and the Private Series but read the private series first, then last christmas, then privilege so you really know the characters and are hooked by the time you get to privilege) it had many great twists and while i wasn't entirely surprised at the end (i was a little), i was definitely thrown off throughout the book. however, i really miss thomas whenever i read from ariana's perspective, so while i grew to like her in this book, i still wished she hadn't killed you know who (don't wanna spoil it) does anyone else miss thomas? although i do wish josh and reed would get back tog...anyway, kate brian- FANTASTIC job (no surprise there) and keep up the great work. i cannot wait for paradise lost and beautiful disaster!

Posted by natalie on January 03, 2009 at 08:25 PM EST #

privilege is DEFINITELY worth reading. the whole private series is, too. i adore ariana. is it weird to say she's a good person, even though she's a murderer? but (most of)the people she murders she does for a good reason (in her eyes anyway!). liars, cheaters, stalkers. she should probably learn to take out her anger differently though *sighs*

Posted by karissa on January 03, 2009 at 10:15 PM EST #

and UGH. reed and josh need to get back together! i hate him with ivy.

Posted by karissa on January 03, 2009 at 10:17 PM EST #

this book is AMAZING!! i absolutley LOVE the private series and now the privilege series. they are my favorite books ever. i think you are a GREAT author pleeease keep writing!!

Posted by missy on January 03, 2009 at 10:19 PM EST #

I'm so confused... Is there going to be another book from Reeds point of view or not? Does Josh get shot? I love your books though!!! I finished Revelation and Last Christmas in a single day!!! I totally heart it! XOXO-

Posted by Courtney Giese on January 03, 2009 at 10:54 PM EST #

Wow. so good. However, part of it was predictable. im so excited to see what happens next. as much as i dislike arianna i feel bad in a way for her. i hope kaitlynn doesnt ruin it all for her, her and Hudson.

Posted by Erin on January 04, 2009 at 01:16 AM EST #

k i'm a different missy from the 1 up there. do they show reed any of the covers ? i dont think they do but please anwser kate! PLEASE and yeah i am SO like lost on who the cover models are after confessions.!!! TTYL Laaaaaadies and some gents

I want Reed and Josh back together :( lol Guess i`ll Have to wait and see. Love the Series xoxoxoxox Staceey! xoxoxoxoxo

Posted by Staceey! on January 04, 2009 at 10:39 AM EST #

I read this book in one day and i love it as much as the private series. How do you think up this stuff? I mean its so utterly unique. I was disappointed about the ending though I keep hoping for Ariana to change. Plus i love Hudson I keep hoping they can be together. Well I can't wait for the next book!

Posted by Ashley on January 04, 2009 at 11:24 AM EST #

soemthings i NEED to see before the end of the series: 1.) reed and noelle are friends 2.) ivy and reed STAY friends 3.) reed and josh are together 4.) reed gets back in Billings 5.)someone goes out with trey(hes ADORABLE!) 6.)reed gets into an ivy leauge 7.)the sereis stops when she graduates COLLEGE 8.) i want to see Kiran and taylor bell i like LOVED them long list but im sure like everyone wants to see this! just saying lol ;]

Posted by Amanda on January 04, 2009 at 12:10 PM EST #

Hey! I am soo happy that Last Christmas came out along with Privlage, I loved them so much that I read each of them in just 1 day :) Guess you could say that I am obsessed!

Posted by Bella on January 04, 2009 at 12:47 PM EST #

I just love your writing kate! i think it is awesome how you leave these little clues in your books and then like revelation all those little clue you never noticed before come together! like how reed thought she saw something in her drink or how at first the writing on the note " dash " gave her looked like a girls writing. i swear i never even thought twice about those things until the very end of revelation :] ammmaaazing job!

Posted by Meghan on January 04, 2009 at 01:13 PM EST #

lol bella we're probably aaaaaalll obsessed with these books TTYL Laaaaaadies and some gents

Posted by Missy on January 04, 2009 at 01:58 PM EST #

does anyone else want to see some part of Thomas brought back or is it just me? it would be really cool if they found something left from Thomas or something. is that just me???

Posted by natalie on January 04, 2009 at 02:03 PM EST #

i LOVED privilege!!! I thought that the ending with Ariana going to her own funeral was sad. It was alos sad when Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor showed up. I can't wait for beautiful diaster and paradise lost. It would be really cool if you wrote a book from Noelle's or another Billing Girl's point of view.

Posted by J on January 04, 2009 at 02:09 PM EST #

PLEASE DO NOT STOP WRITING THE PRIVATE SERIES!! WE ALL LOVE THEM...I AM BEGGING (lol) BUT PLEASE DO NOT STOP WRITING THEM.... to fans; if you do not want Kate Brian stop writing these series (Private series and Privilege series) then pass this on when your on here! Thats right pass it on..:)

Posted by Mallary on January 04, 2009 at 03:06 PM EST #

I loved Privilege! I just thought that Ariana seemed a little more gullible than she had at Easton. I absolutely love the Private series and the spin-off! It's just brilliant. I really want to see Kiran and Taylor back in the books somehow. Maybe not at Easton, but a part of them in it. Oh, and Happy 2009! <3

natalie- i think it would be AMAZING to see some Thomas i miss him :[ lol and i said this before like 300 times if you look through the comments but i think id die if you stop writing Kate (exaderating just a tad)

Posted by Amanda on January 05, 2009 at 03:24 PM EST #

Fajer- wow $50? you officially win the most dedicated fan award...in my book :]!

Posted by Amanda on January 05, 2009 at 03:26 PM EST #

Kate: I have been reading the Private series in English and i just wanted to say that these books rock. I enjoy the life-like drama and all that stuff.They keep me on the edge of me seat and guessing throught the whole book. i have no complaints and look forward to the continuations.

Posted by Morgan on January 05, 2009 at 03:36 PM EST #

Kate! Privilege! Ariana! I just don't know what to say! .... It was amazing. I was totally not, even in the very very back of my mind, expecting the end. I was just... omg! Shocked! I can't wait for the next one!!!

Posted by Courtney on January 05, 2009 at 04:01 PM EST #

I swear, Gossip Girl is just a hype. These books are wwaaayyy better. If only there were more advertising this series would make it further than gossip girl. Like those books dont even begin to compare.:(

Posted by Niya on January 05, 2009 at 07:51 PM EST #

Kate Brian: Privilege is amazing! MUCH MUCH BETTER than I had ever ever expected. The one word that would describe PRIVILEGE is....craziness! lol It's really good. I'm surprised that I can actually have sympathy for Ariana. I hated her for murdering Thomas. :( But it was very surprising to me that I could relate to Ariana...tp an extent. I really can't wait for BEAUTIFUL DISASTER. I have a feeling I won't be disappointed.

Posted by Jaqueline on January 05, 2009 at 09:39 PM EST #

ok i love your books i read all of the private series and i was wondering if there was another one after Ambition because i would be so upset if Reed just died in the end like that. did she even die???

Posted by Ruby Epstein on January 05, 2009 at 10:02 PM EST #

yes ruby, its already in stores (and has been for a while now) its called REVALATION its amazing <3

Posted by Sheila on January 06, 2009 at 12:40 AM EST #

Oh my goddess Privilege is sooo good! I really loved it. in Last Christmas I just thought Ariana was psycho, but in Privilege I was actually rooting for her. I feel so bad for Briana Leigh. I am a man who loves the Private (and Privilege) series and am proud to say it! I really love these books.

Posted by Caleb on January 06, 2009 at 11:02 AM EST #

Privilege was estraordinary!! I totally loved it, but i can not wait until june for BEAUTIFUL DISASTER, you have to release it earlier.by then i would be locked up at the the at the BRENDA T for stalking the guy at barnes & noble . So please don't do that to me. i'm already lossing it by waiting until february for PARADAISE LOST.

Posted by Carlota on January 06, 2009 at 02:23 PM EST #

just wondering if you were planning on writing another book...i wanna find out what happened to Reed and Josh!!!! I <3 Josh!!!

Posted by Julia on January 06, 2009 at 05:33 PM EST #

julia- the next book is Paradise Lost witch comes out next month and if you go on the main page you can read the first chapter now! and i think it was amazing for chapter one WARNING: it will seriosly the days between January and Feb totally WAY WAY to long :]

Posted by amanda on January 06, 2009 at 06:31 PM EST #

what is the private club? i saw the thing at the bottom of one of the pages and i sort of want to know what it is!

Posted by amanda on January 06, 2009 at 06:40 PM EST #

This book not going to lie was probably by far my favorite. I liked being able to read about the girl actually doing the mysterious actions instead of reading about the girl who all the spooky things happen to. Either way, I enjoy your books, and hope you take this series as far as you can take it. You made me go from hating Ariana's guts in the past books, to hoping she wouldn't be caught, even though she is an insane murderer.

Posted by molly on January 06, 2009 at 08:02 PM EST #

You Kate Brian are like Kaitlyn you make plans for me to hate Ariana at first, even though you've never full out told me not to like her, and then you made secret plans for me to love Ariana. Kate, Kaitlyn, coincidence I think not.

Posted by molly on January 06, 2009 at 08:07 PM EST #

Molly: haha.. you make me laugh. :) funny.

Posted by Jacqueline on January 06, 2009 at 08:47 PM EST #

Molly: I totally agree with you. It is really interesting to read from Ariana's point of view. A girl who has committed serious crimes(like killing Thomas...*tear*). But it was very surprising to me that I actually kind of sided with her with some parts of the book and other times I like hated her. SPOILER: Especially with the whole Briana Leigh....It makes me really sad to think about Briana. :( The whole thing with Teo...

Posted by Jacqueline on January 06, 2009 at 08:50 PM EST #

Privlage was AMAZING!! i couldnt beleive ariana! ariana was my favorite charecter in the private series till i learned she killed thomas and then u wrote last christmas and i thought ariana was crazy(i mean she is) but wow Kate you make her seem soo real. ur an amazing writer!

Posted by Jaime on January 06, 2009 at 09:46 PM EST #

To answer Amanda's question, the Private club is just what u sign up 4 2 get updates via email. Idk if it's the same Amanda, but I totally agree that Fajer should get a most dedicated fan award. Btw- the book after Paradise Lost is Suspicion, coming out September 8 according 2 Borders. I'm not positive tho... I LUV PRIVATE! Privilege was fabulous in its own way. :-)Steph

Posted by I <3 Josh!!! on January 06, 2009 at 10:57 PM EST #

yeah its the same Amanda i think thiers only two in here you can tell which ones are mine cause thier the ones that are like a book long lol! thanks, BTW just thinking what if Ivy's parents took her out of Easton i dont think they'd trust the school so that means josh and reed could be together!

Posted by Amanda on January 07, 2009 at 11:36 AM EST #

I got the book at b&n before it was even on the shelf! i got and read it in four hours, i just couldn't put it down. i'm addicted to private and now privilege, i'm counting down the days for paradise lost and i'll probably read that in like four hours as well. thanks for all your AMAZING books Kate/Kieran. <3becca

Posted by Rebecca on January 07, 2009 at 04:19 PM EST #

Was Revelation the last book of the private series?! cuz i want more!! lol :)

Posted by Janie on January 07, 2009 at 04:43 PM EST #

Janie, no Revelation isnt the last the next is Paradise Lost which is out next month, at the earliest the first point she could stop the sereis at is senior graduation, or if some other phsyco reletive succseds in killing her lol. and if we fans get our way it wont stop till senior year old college. You can go on the main page scroll down and read the first chapter of P.L. now.

Omg, I just found out about this series like one week ago and I loooove it!!! I just finished the third book today, only I got so mad at myself cause like 4 days ago I was looking at the back of Privilege (this was while I was reading the second book, but I already knew that Thomas would die)and I didn't know who killed him yet and I got soo mad when I found out! So I can't wait till Confessions (I had to order it since the bookstores only have Privilege and Last Christmas in stock)since that's when I found out about Ariana! But I can't wait to read the rest of the series and Last Christmas and Privilege especially!!

Posted by Brittany on January 07, 2009 at 08:41 PM EST #

I totally loved Privilege, it was totally awesome! =) Although Ariana kind of creepy...ha ha. Can't wait for the next one!

Posted by Amanda on January 08, 2009 at 05:11 PM EST #

I can't wait for Paradise Lost! That is so sad about Josh and Reed, I like them together. Okay I had this idea, I was rereading the books from Private #1 and I thought that wouldn't it be really cool if Kate Brian would rewrite the first book through Thomas's perspective? Because I really wonder what he was accually thinking I am still confused with him. Even though I looooooove Josh I would like to know had Thomas had accually felt!

Posted by Brittany R on January 08, 2009 at 05:17 PM EST #

I havn't read Privelege yet I but read all the Private books that are out and I LOVE them! My all-time favorite books EVER! I am soo happy my friend got my into them and I'm happy that you write them! I hope you keep writing them! I can't wait to read Paradise Lost! I am also reading Last Christmas..SO GOOD! You are an amazing writer!

Posted by Kayleigh on January 08, 2009 at 05:52 PM EST #

Posted by Amanda on January 08, 2009 at 05:56 PM EST #

Private is so awesome! I don't care what people say when they find out I read it, it's a really good book; much better than the other teen fiction crap in my library

Posted by A Guy Fan on January 08, 2009 at 06:25 PM EST #

Kate, I think you should definitely make a Private Series Forum on this site. It would be so fun! And a lot more easier to chat with each other on certain subjects and books than on here! (:

Posted by karissa on January 08, 2009 at 07:45 PM EST #

Brittany R: That is so cool! I kept thinking about how it would be a good idea to read in Thoma's POV for the first book, too. I mean, there's a whole totally different story from his POV. I mean, did Ariana and Thomas even talk their senior year...And we really don't know if he really loved Reed or if she was just another girl. And what was he thinking about lying to Reed about being a dealer, being drunk when he hurt her, and what he was basically...actually thinking.

Posted by Jaqueline on January 08, 2009 at 08:36 PM EST #

KARISSA: I totally agree with the whole Private Forum, but I think this is good so Kate could read our thoughts, etc.

I totally agree with every1 on the past like 10 comments. Forum & Thomas perspective book would b cool. Amanda-same, I check all the time. I luv 2 read ppl's opinions & ideas.

Posted by I <3 Josh!!! on January 08, 2009 at 10:56 PM EST #

Sry. 4got 2 change my name on the last one. Does Kate actually read this?

Posted by Steph :-) on January 08, 2009 at 11:00 PM EST #

I really enjoyed this book! I liked it more than every private series, other than Revelation. It was tied. It was so good! You are SUCH a good author! Thanks for writing! You really inspire me for my own work. :)

Posted by Jackie on January 08, 2009 at 11:52 PM EST #

Steph: Yeah. On one of Kate's previous blogs, Kate said that she reads all of the comments. Cool huh? LOL

i seriocly am in love w/ your books. i finished Privledge about 7 hours after i got it from the book stores!! i couldn't put it down. I was sooo mad when arianna made the same mistake over again. I can't wait for the next one, but i'm a little confused... are you now putting out 2 series, private and privledge? I finally got two of my friends to read it and their UBSESSED!!!!!!! i can't wait fr paradise lost. i really want to know whose dead or not!!

Posted by Nikki on January 09, 2009 at 08:49 AM EST #

Posted by Amanda on January 09, 2009 at 05:04 PM EST #

Is it true that 'Suspicion' and the third 'Privilege' are BOTH scheduled to come out on the same day in September?

Posted by JC on January 09, 2009 at 06:36 PM EST #

OMG!!! i am gonig to read it but i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! ur books they r awesome. i cant wait for paradise lost to find out what happens.

Amanda- Paradise Lost is coming out the 24th of February. JC- Where did u hear that? Nikki- The first chapter's on the home page. (Paradise Lost) Jacqueline- Thx. Maybe we should test it. Here: Kate, 2 prove 2 me that u actually read the comments, instead of writing luv at the end of ur next one, make it the symbol like this <3. I have faith in u! Plz put it there so I know, or we know if ne 1 else is reading this. Thx! <3, Steph

Posted by Steph :-) on January 09, 2009 at 11:01 PM EST #

Steph-- Wikipedia/the sources there.

Posted by JC on January 10, 2009 at 01:49 AM EST #

i lovee the series. but does anyone know when the release date of privilege is in the phils.?

Posted by angelicaa on January 10, 2009 at 08:06 AM EST #

Jc- the thing about wikipedia is ANYONE can write something there. Me and my friend wrote random stuff there once. So wikipedia is ethier lying or its telling the truth. I personally dont trust wikipedia anymore. Steph- in one blog it says cant wait to see your comments. But i have a feeling she stops at like 100 i could imagine her reading 185 indvidual comments.

Posted by Amanda on January 10, 2009 at 09:27 AM EST #

couldn't* lol god im a bad speller at 9 in the morning lol

Posted by Amanda on January 10, 2009 at 09:31 AM EST #

OMG!!!!!!! This book is the best book ever!! OMG!! I like freakin' loved it!!! Can't wait for Paradise Lost and the next privileged. Put another chapter of Paradise Lost PLEASE!!! LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!

Posted by Jasmine on January 10, 2009 at 12:24 PM EST #

Angelica- I'm pretty sure u can buy it on Amazon, but the shipping mite b a lot. Otherwise, I have no clue. Amanda- I agree, but seriously, I read all of the comments. It didn't take THAT long. :-)

Posted by Steph :-) on January 10, 2009 at 02:14 PM EST #

Amanda -- I know about the dubious nature of Wikipedia. That's why I'm saying I check the sources behind whatever's said. :)

Posted by JC on January 10, 2009 at 02:49 PM EST #

hey gurl umm i havent finished reading privilege yet but umm does anything ever happen with ariana nd hudson after he is like i hope he is worthy??

Posted by jennie on January 10, 2009 at 04:54 PM EST #

Hopefully Kate Brian puts that <3 !

Posted by Jaqueline on January 10, 2009 at 07:44 PM EST #

Is that Ariana on the cover of Last Christmas and Privilege? I thought she had blue eyes!

Posted by Angie Ostrowski on January 11, 2009 at 02:01 AM EST #

this means noelle didnt die in revelation because ariana saw her at the funeral . thank goodness ! i would cry histerically. i wonder who does get shot then !

Posted by kelly on January 11, 2009 at 12:50 PM EST #

Kelly- U can read the first chapter to Paradise Lost on the home page and find out what happens. Angie- I'm pretty sure it's meant 2 b her. Jennie- Nothing happens, sry. I wish they were together tho, and Hudsen knew somewat of the truth. JC- O, well that would b cool. 2 books at the same time. I wouldn't know which one 2 read first. It depends wat happens at the end of Paradise Lost & Beautiful Disaster.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 11, 2009 at 02:10 PM EST #

hey, do u know how many books kate brian is going to make of the private series, I hope she doesnt stop until i'm much older, the books are very addicting!

Posted by Nina on January 11, 2009 at 04:35 PM EST #

Steph said: "It depends wat happens at the end of Paradise Lost & Beautiful Disaster." --I'm wondering if the events will be tied together in a crossover somehow. Like maybe a story line from a 'Privilege' book might briefly continue in a 'Private' book, then go back to its own series. Anyway, I think Simon & Schuster's site has a new 'Private' MESSAGE BOARD set up (finally).

Posted by JC on January 11, 2009 at 05:08 PM EST #

Hey i have a question, I want to read about Privilege but Iam still stuck on Revelation and the ending of that. Is there another book that comes out after that or does it just end there?

Posted by Alexa Lee on January 11, 2009 at 05:22 PM EST #

alexa- if your talking about Private yess there is another book it comes out the 24th of next month its called Paradise Lost. Privlege is a spin off its set 2 years in the future and the only thing the two books have in common is Arriana. So bassically its a whole new series. Ive read Privlege and it doesnt spoil anything that happens in Private. if thats what you to know :] if you want to read the fisrt chapter of the next book go on the front page and click in Paradise Lost, hope that helps

Posted by Amanda on January 11, 2009 at 05:34 PM EST #

Jc- it would sort of be hard to do a crossover of the two series because Privelge is like a year or two ahead of Private. Reed is a senior during Privelege it would be kinda cool to see Hudson be part of a book :D cause hes driving up to Easton to see "Emma"

Posted by Amanda on January 11, 2009 at 05:39 PM EST #

Steph- lol u read ALL of them? i read like the last two and first 25 lol then i quit and type what i want to say lol

Posted by Amanda on January 11, 2009 at 05:41 PM EST #

Oopps that was supposed to say AlEXA LEE not alexa sorry just wanted you to know i was answering your question

Posted by Amanda on January 11, 2009 at 05:43 PM EST #

PLEASE DO NOT STOP WRITING THE PRIVATE SERIES!! WE ALL LOVE THEM...I AM BEGGING (lol) BUT PLEASE DO NOT STOP WRITING THEM.... to fans; if you do not want Kate Brian stop writing these series (Private series and Privilege series) then pass this on when your on here! Thats right pass it on..:)

Posted by Mallary on January 11, 2009 at 05:48 PM EST #

okay. i just read the first chapter of paradise lost. reed and josh BETTER get back 2gether i <3 Josh!!!!

Posted by julia on January 11, 2009 at 07:03 PM EST #

Privilege is only a little bit ahead of Private. It's been 1 1/2 years since Ariana was sent 2 Brenda T. That means it's the summer b4 senior year 4 Reed. I wonder wat'll happen 2 Josh!!! :,-( I hope they get back 2gether!! I<3Josh! :-P Amanda- Yeah, I'm just a freak like that.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 11, 2009 at 07:43 PM EST #

Kate Brian I love your writing so much; your books, especially the Private series. I like the storyline a lot and I totally admire that you have this insane ability to make us fall in love with the characters like Thomas, Josh, Reed, Noelle, etc., and I noticed this when I read the last two chapters of REVELATION, my mouth locked open, I was beginning to like Sabine as a character so much. But, I always had the feeling that she somehow resembled Ariana Osgood. I can't wait to read PRIVELAGE. I only just finished REVELATION yesterday, so I need to get my hands on PRIVELAGE. And just a question, you may not be able to answer my question personally, so to the FANS, does anyone know when the next Private book is coming out? - Ariella

Posted by Ariella on January 11, 2009 at 08:05 PM EST #

This book was amazing. u felt sympathy for her, u called her a hypocrite and a murderer, and yet, she didn't let you hate her even though u recognized just how janked this girls brain has gotten since she snapped with Thomas. Even though shes a psyco, it brought tears to my eyes when noelle (fav character 4evr), kiran, and taylor showed up at her funeral and wen her mom began 2cry4her little girl. wen she had 2break up with hudson and all of her parents' little statements to the news were just heartbreaking. very epic, sad book. Keep Writing More (esp. Private Series) ily Kiran

Posted by Noelle (well...Nia really) on January 11, 2009 at 11:18 PM EST #

Hi kate, i finished Privlege a while ago, but this little thing called school got in the way. So i couldn't respone when i finished it. I love the book, i can't believe Ariana did that to that poor girl. I do feel sorry for her, because she really have trusting problems. I mean it's not her fault, that her best friend was using her. Ariana really needs to figure out who is good and who is bad. I really can't wait until the next addition, i hope there will be more husdon in the next books. Oh, i can't wait until paradise lost, when does it come out. i know its in Feb, but what date? I need more of the trouble the Billings Girls get themselves into. Also, i need more Reed and Josh!!!! I just love Josh. I really can't wait.

Posted by Ambika on January 12, 2009 at 03:40 PM EST #

I LOVE PRIVLEGE!!!! It is so amazing. I can not wait for the next book to come out...

Posted by Megan on January 12, 2009 at 03:44 PM EST #

I Loved Priviledge I just finished it this morningand it was so amazing. It took me a while to read because of studying for exams but I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!

Posted by Natasha on January 12, 2009 at 05:51 PM EST #

does anyone know when PARADISE LOST is coming out?

Posted by Ariella on January 12, 2009 at 07:48 PM EST #

OMG Privilege was amazing!!!!! Totally made me feel for the old days though when noelle and the crew arrived! I can't wait for the next book in this series and the Private series...Love your work keep it up!

Posted by Nikki on January 12, 2009 at 10:49 PM EST #

Paradise Lost comes out February 24. Does any1 go 2 that forum that JC talked about?

Posted by Steph :-) on January 13, 2009 at 11:12 AM EST #

Lost Paradise is coming out on the 24th of feb!!!!!!! i looked it up on internet!! omg!! ellie...x

Posted by Ellie on January 13, 2009 at 12:47 PM EST #

haha Amanda is my real name,STEPH- what fourm?

Posted by Amanda on January 13, 2009 at 03:43 PM EST #

Amanda -- Good point about the time differences. What Steph mentioned was the fact that there's an actual message board set up on Simon & Schuster's Kate Brian page (or appears to be). It looks pretty nice. Steph -- I'll try starting a topic on the board there.

Posted by JC on January 13, 2009 at 05:16 PM EST #

AMAZING book. I read it in one sitting. So far, this is my favorite of any of your books i've read. :]

Posted by Jaclyn Davies on January 14, 2009 at 10:23 AM EST #

Also, I loved that Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor came to Ariana's "funeral." Even though they practically hate her, as it's portrayed in inner circle through revelation, they still remember when she was their best friend and they partially forgive her by going.

Posted by ash on January 14, 2009 at 10:48 AM EST #

Great Book. Finished it in less then 24 hours. I hated her all during Private, but now. Don't love her yet, but don't hate her either. I cannot wait for the next Private book. Read the first chapter... I need Reed and Josh together again! I miss them so much. Thanks for another great book and keep them coming please...

Posted by Meggie on January 14, 2009 at 02:49 PM EST #

ok, so is there not another private novel? i was really inta those and i really wanna know what happened and did somone get shot cuz i dont know, and its really terrible if that was the last book cuz it completely left me han ging------i HATE that... but i LOVE tho books!!! (: (: (: lol

Posted by emilyyyyy on January 14, 2009 at 06:17 PM EST #

I Love your books!! i have the series of private. everyone you wrote so far. and privaledge as well. They are awsomwe, please don't start writting!! especially prvate novels. I am in love with your stories and plots!!! Keep writing books and i will keep reading them :)

Posted by Toni on January 14, 2009 at 07:03 PM EST #

i meant to type stop writing. sorry. oh and i can't wait to buy paradise lost!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by toni on January 14, 2009 at 07:07 PM EST #

Kate Brian, So, I loved the new book. It was soooooo good. Plus, it was good to see that Ariana wasn't bothering Reed in this book. I can't wait for the next one. Also I can't wait for Paradise Lost. But, there is one thing I want to know that has been in none of the books. Are you ever gonna tell us how Noelle got that "scar" that Reed saw through the window in the very first Private book. I really wanna know. Anyway, please keep writing your books are great!!!!!!! Your amazing!!!!!!!!! I <3 YOUR BOOKS -marissa

Posted by Marissa Grotsky on January 14, 2009 at 08:25 PM EST #

omg i was soooo scared to read Ambition i am sooooo into the private series. You should totally make it a reall movie it would be a hit!!!!!

Posted by Toxic on January 14, 2009 at 09:52 PM EST #

toxic- the only problem about making this into a movie is when you make a movie you have to leave alot out, and the characters they pick barley reseble the charcaters the way we see them in our heads.

Posted by Amanda on January 15, 2009 at 03:46 PM EST #

OMG i wanna be jsut like the billing girls. the makeup the V-necks and cahsmere all the sosphisticated stuff and everything brand name fashion by desighners ! !!!! they are my idols lol even tho they aren't real!

Posted by chels on January 15, 2009 at 05:10 PM EST #

Lol Chels, same... sorta. :-) Emily- There is another book, it's Paradise Lost which comes out Feb. 24 (which is too far away!!!) I totally agree Amanda. Mayb if we get really fabulous jobs when we're older n r muy muy muy rich we can make a movie just the way we like. A TV show wouldn't really work out cuz we'd already know wat was gonna happen and it would b really confusing. I think the Clique movie did a really good job of sticking to the book, I mean it's not like I thought it was that great, but they at least did their job. Last, but certainly not least, I love Josh forever and ever (unless he does sumthing really bad)!!! Keep writing Kate! Luv u! Steph Btw- Wat's w/the "simple math question" at the bottom? Hello! Sorta odd... I think everyone know wat 2+3 is. I hope.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 15, 2009 at 10:17 PM EST #

Ok so I just want to say that I absolutely adore the Private Novels! They are some of my favorite books and I cannot wait to read the rest of Paradise Lost; ever since I read the first chapter I have been obessing over it! Oh my gosh i cant wait!

Posted by Elizabeth on January 16, 2009 at 12:26 AM EST #

Amanda -- I agree. That's why I'm in support of the TV series idea. I think there's probably too much story to cram into a movie at this point. If you compare the film and TV versions of 'Friday Night Lights,' you can see why a TV show generally works better in terms of story and character development. 'Private' could be the next 'Veronica Mars.' I just don't get why it seems that every Alloy book but this is being adapted, considering this one is pretty much owned by a television company (CBS).

Posted by JC on January 16, 2009 at 01:18 AM EST #

OMG, I luv the plot of Privilege! I like how the action starts on the first page instead of like 5 chapters into the book. Also I like how all your books just "flow" together...like hundreds of pieces to a perfect puzzle or something. ANYWAY, there was just one thing I didn't like about Privilege and that was that Ariana had to change EVERYTHING that made Ariana Ariana! Couldn't she have kept the blonde hair OR the beautiful blue eyes OR the cute name? It just seems so sad!

Posted by Kaitlyn on January 16, 2009 at 11:52 AM EST #

Loved Privilege...there's just a couple things I'd like to point out! :P I've lived in Dallas, Texas my entire life. Some of the things you said in the book kind of offended me: 1. The coyotes howling. You don't hear coyotes in the city. 2. Stargazing. You can't see that many stars in Dallas. 3. Cowboy hats. Cowboy hats are for tourists who think they're fitting in or for hicks. But I did love: 1. The plot. 2. The fact that part of the story took place in my hometown, since most stories are set in New York or someplace like that. 3. The surprising twist. :) Thanks for reading! Kelsey

Posted by Kelsey on January 16, 2009 at 02:45 PM EST #

i love it! absoutely completely amazing! i hated the fact that it took me forever to read because of school, but school is now going by soo much faster and the second semester is starting and that means the next PRIVATE BOOK! :D cannot wait! loved ariana in privilaged and i cant for the next one in that too! fantastic writingggg!!!!!!!! <3

Posted by dalia on January 16, 2009 at 03:17 PM EST #

I really dont think I can wait much longer for the next private book i might just die!!!!!!!!!:):)

Posted by Brianna on January 16, 2009 at 04:31 PM EST #

PLEASE, PLEASE KATE DON'T DEPRIVE ARIANA OF HER ICY-BLUE EYES!!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE ARE ARIANAS AND ONLY ARIANAS...THEY'RE WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL!!!!!!!! CAN'T SHE KEEP SOMETHING OF THE LIFE SHE USED TO HAVE? TO CONNECT HER TO HER PERFECT BILLINGS LIFE? AHHHHHHHH! KEEP THE BLUE EYES!! P.S. THE DRIVERS LICENSE SAID BRIANA LEIGH HAD BLUE EYES, SO ARIANA CAN GET RID OF HER CONTACTS IF BRIANA LEIGH'S EYES NATURALLY ARE BLUE, RIGHT, TO BE MORE LIKE BRIANA LEIGH? OR AT LEAST GET BLUE CONTACTS SO THEY'RE SORT OF BLUE? CAN YOU SEE MY POINT?

Posted by ALEXIA on January 16, 2009 at 05:02 PM EST #

im sure it seems like all i do is dissagree with comments anymore but until this freaking book come out ive lost things to talk about lol! ok... so ALEXIA,Kaitlyn-- if she were to keep her blue eyes those SIGNARTURE eyes it would be hard to stay under cover... think, her hair is going to start to turn blonde agian(dye only lasts so long) and if she has the same face,eyes and hair color there goes her cover(some one would figure it out (her picture was on the news)) and plus if she really wants to start over she has to detach herself from herself(wow lol) yah know?

Posted by Amanda on January 16, 2009 at 05:41 PM EST #

plus, she got a NEW picture taken with her brown/green i forget which one but it would be suspicious if they jsut disappered, STEPH- haha ok work hard or marry rich ;] and when were both rich we'll tag team and make one kick but PRIVATE movie/tv sereis lol! and ps. youre so lucky my simple math questions are always like 87+29 haha and for someone who is terrible at math that is that the hard part of posting a question lol! <3 Amanda

Posted by Amanda on January 16, 2009 at 06:01 PM EST #

I kind of agree with KATILYN. I mean, I felt really sad that Ariana is never going to be called Ariana anymore. And espeically when Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor went to her funeral. And her mother, her necklace...It makes me really really sad. I cried when I read the part when Ariana was kissing Hudson in her room, and then she saw Thomas' face as if he was there with her....*tear*

Posted by Jaqueline on January 16, 2009 at 06:43 PM EST #

ok i haave a question for everyone???? how wxactly are sabine and arriana related???? cause in privalaged they are still refered to as mr. and mrs osgood

Posted by CB on January 16, 2009 at 07:11 PM EST #

Kate, PLEASE, PLEASE let Ariana and Hudson be together! They made like the cutest couple ever!! {except for Reed and Josh!!!{lol!} But ANYWAY, she could like tell him that she doesnt go to Easton or whatever and he could still be a part of her life.. Just never see her during the school months or something! So pretty please in Beautiful Disaster let Ariana have a little but of "Emma Walsh" back!! Am I the only one that thought that Ariana and Hudson made a cute couple!?!? Please comment

Posted by Jenna on January 16, 2009 at 07:18 PM EST #

OMG!! Privilege is so awesome!! I love it and I love all of your books!!! You are an awesome writer!!! You inspire me to write my own stories!!!

Posted by Bridget on January 16, 2009 at 10:41 PM EST #

Jenna- Agreed. Ariana should just say she transfered r sumthin. Amanda- Wow, ur math problems r hard! This is wat my parents told me, in a joking manner of course, don't marry sum1 just cuz they're rich. Hang out w/ rich ppl, & find sum1 u luv. Lol. I'll get a good job doin sumthing awesome. ;-) That pays big tho. ~Steph

Posted by Steph :-) on January 16, 2009 at 10:44 PM EST #

It was really good! I can't wait for more. Also Paradise Lost first chapter just has me begging for more!

Posted by Kayleigh Megan on January 17, 2009 at 12:44 AM EST #

OMG!!! i finished Privilege in like 3 hours. I am totally addicted to the private series. i read the whole series in 8 days. I was like hyperventilating at the end of Revelation. I cannot wait for the next ones!!! Privilege was one of the best books i have ever read. I cant wait to read what happens with Ariana next! KEEP WRITING!!

Posted by Nicole on January 17, 2009 at 01:00 AM EST #

STEPH-awww but hanging out with rich people only gets you so far! lol marry rich and you're set for life :D (kidding people im not really this shallow)lucky me i got an easy math question this time (10+9)YAY! lol anyway...the thing about Hudson that sort of bothers me is the fact that Arianna (Emma) told him she had a boyfriend and he wont leave her ALONE! lol & plus how would it work if he finds her and everyone is calling her brianna Lee/Ana? she's name jumping here and thats ganna make it hard for them, yeah relation ships arent perfect but thats one obstical i dont think would end pretty lol, just saying <3

Posted by Amanda on January 17, 2009 at 08:45 AM EST #

CB- Mr. Osgood divorced Mrs. Osgood, she kept the name for some reason(did she?) and Mr.Osgood married Ms. Deluc but for Sabines tourcher purpose she kept her moms/dads (who knows?) name lol hope it helps :]

Posted by Amanda on January 17, 2009 at 08:51 AM EST #

Kelsey- haha i live in PA and though i never been to middle PA ive heard its really pretty cause its so cold it ususally snows alot and when the leave changes its really nice. if you havent notcied yet if i get bored i leave tons of comments haha it entertains me ;]

Posted by Amanda on January 17, 2009 at 08:58 AM EST #

Amanda- Really? I'm not that shallow either. I'm just making a point. Lol. Have u ever seen 90210? I've just had a literal 90210 marathon today. It just keeps gettin better. Ha! That's a song. Didn't mean 2 say that. How did u find out about the whole Osgood divorce thing and Mr.Osgood marrying Mrs.DeLuc? Wouldn't they only b half sisters and not as close? Idk. Today I got 3+97. I'm working on it. These problems puzzle me... Steph :-P

Posted by Steph :-) on January 17, 2009 at 03:47 PM EST #

So I have one question I want answered. If this book takes place two and a half years after the murder of Thomas Pearson... then wouldn't Ariana be starting her third year of college (had she not been in Brenda T.)? If so, then what year is she in when she starts the new prep school? She definitely couldn't pass as a freshman!

Posted by Delaney on January 17, 2009 at 08:07 PM EST #

JENNA- I totally agree that Ariana and Hudson should be together. I was really sad for Ariana when she had to say she had a boyfriend...But I think in Beautiful Diaster, Hudson is coming to find her. Don't you guys feel sorry for Briana Leigh? I mean, she was going to get married too. :( Poor girl.

Posted by Jacqueline on January 17, 2009 at 10:40 PM EST #

Delaney- its one and half years after she shot Pearson& brianna Lee was like a sophore or juinor who was SWITCHIGN places STEPH-hah i added im not that shallow part so incase anyone was reading them besides you they wouldnt take me seriously hahah& umm it was sort of a guess, cause like its illegal to have 2 wives at one time haha and they might just be step sisters cause the two wouldnt have been the same age. this time was 37+5

Posted by Amanda on January 18, 2009 at 09:43 AM EST #

Privelege was good, but I don't think it sends readers the right message. I mean, seriously. It's not as if you should kill your ex and numerous other people and be all like, "Oh, I'll just get away with it." It was good, though, and I can't wait for the next one.

Posted by Layla on January 18, 2009 at 11:17 AM EST #

For some reason, I forgot what Josh looked like. Now I'm pissed. I was rereading Confessions, and Natasha's like "I cannot wait to be here next year." But in Inner Circle, Kate, you said Natasha graduated to Dartmouth.

Posted by Vicky on January 18, 2009 at 11:28 AM EST #

OMG!OMG!OMG!I'm in love with the private series!It was the best series I've ever read. I'm praying Josh and Reed will get back together. Please, please is there any way you could make Paradise Lost come out early? I really hope you can make a movie out of this series and privledge too. I read the first chapter and that sounded good. However I think I might like private more. Keep writing I'm looking forward to reading the next books in your series!

Posted by Vanessa on January 18, 2009 at 11:52 AM EST #

Which girls are which on the covers? and I lovelovelovelovelovelove your books i am crazy about them i can't put them down! OMG thank you for writing them!Keep it up! thanks!

Posted by Mel on January 18, 2009 at 12:19 PM EST #

OMG! i thought privilege was AMAZING! i actually just bought to keep my occupied till paradise lost comes out! I didn't think it would be nearly as good as private but it was brill! The whole thing with briana leigh made me really sad though, its just so horrible everything that happened to her. i also agree with layla , i'm not sure its sending readers the right kinda message either. Ariana killed 4 people and she can just get away with it? Doesn't change the fact that it was great though!

Posted by Rosie on January 18, 2009 at 12:22 PM EST #

OMG I love your books! You make me fall in love with Josh. I want him and Reed to be together. He just sounds so perfect it makes me want to go to Easton just to meet him! Anyway thank you for bringing all the characters to life. I Love the books-all of them! Thank you! Keep it up!

Posted by Lucy L. on January 18, 2009 at 12:31 PM EST #

OMG! is easton a real Academy? cause Lucy L.'s comment made me think it was a real place (by the way it was worded) so i looked it up on Google and a whole bunch of pictures come up.

So Privlege was totally intense. I'm getting Lost Paradise as a b-day gift. Eeek!

Posted by vAnA on January 18, 2009 at 02:02 PM EST #

Layla- Totally agree. Horrible message, fab book. Btw- I noticed something in Invitation Only, if The Other was published in The Quill & Reed had typed in all of the titles of Ariana's work, how could that password not have worked when she typed it in then? That was the password she found in her planner & it worked then. Just pointing that out. Thought it was odd. I was reading it last nite & I was like, Huh? Yep, that's my great find of the day. :-) Amanda- Sorry 2 burst ur bubble, but Easton Academy is not a private boarding school. If it were I would b transfering there in a snap. It'd b ok cuz I'm in 8th grade rite now & they're all preparing us 4 New Trier. It's been going on since Dec. So annoying! Anyway... today I got 6 + 56. 4 sum reason they always put the smaller numbers first when I'd think it'd b the opposite. Who knows?! ~Steph :-)

Posted by Steph :-) on January 18, 2009 at 02:05 PM EST #

FYI 2 every1, it's Paradise Lost, not Lost Paradise. Where did u hear that?

Posted by Steph :-) on January 18, 2009 at 02:07 PM EST #

I loved Privilege! It was so good but Arianna really is a psycho. I can't believed she killed ANOTHER innocent person. She really needs to be locked up, shes a dangerous person. And I knew the whole time that Kaitlynn was crazy too. I never suspected she had an affair though. Well, now theres two crazies on the loose. But its so well-written and addictive! Keep on writing Kate!

STEPH-well when i re-looked it up there is in a school called Easton Academy but it is in PA and its not a private school as you said but there is such a place :] whats New trier? and yeah even though im a sophomore i would SO transfer hahah it would be worth it

Posted by Amanda on January 19, 2009 at 02:31 PM EST #

OMG! Kate Brian! You are the best writer in the world! I love you and your writing!!! I used to think I liked other authors! You are the best author in the world! the private series is great!!! I convinced by bets friend to read Private, I still haven't heard what she said, but... I bet she'll love it!!! Have you ever thought about making Private into a movie? I swear, whenever I listen to songs now, I search for hidden meanings that would fit Private characters!!! I litterally have OPD!!! (Obsessive Private Disorder)I Absolutely love your books and you are my idol!!!

Posted by Liz on January 19, 2009 at 05:11 PM EST #

Amanda- Yeah, Easton Academy is a public school. New Trier is the high school I'm going to next year, you can look it up. Maybe there's something like Easton Academy. That would b amazing. I'll research it... if I have time. Ok, Ik we stopped talking about math problems, but I just have to say I got the easiest one ever put on there. 0+0 no joke. Wow, it must b 4 hackers r something. I have no clue. Ambi- I signed up 4 the Private Club and it only gives u updates when there are updates to give. There hasn't been one in a while tho.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 19, 2009 at 09:40 PM EST #

WOULDN't IT BE AWESOME IF THE BOOK SERIES WAS MADE INTO A TELEVISION SERIES?? You should think about that Kate [kieran]. I live in Australia and literally have NO IDEA where to buy these books!! I'm reading them from my library now but REALLY want to buy them all!! I know ONE bookshop has like four of them (and not even the first four - just random ones) but I need them all! hehe. I just finished Inner Circle! WHO DO THE FRONT COVER MODELS represent on that book? Ah, well. I can't wait to continue reading LOL I read I.C in about 7ish hours!! ((HAHA I LOVE the maths problems!! So much better than those dumb capchas or whatever they're called))

Posted by amanda k. m. on January 19, 2009 at 11:48 PM EST #

amanda K- haha wow first i have never answered a question for another amanda on here...kinda werid lol but go to amazon.com or ebay(i dont know if they would have it) there is also a place on here where it says buy and you can look at all the places to buy (under shop) hope it helps haha STEPH- i got an easy on too! 0+4! haha

Posted by Amanda on January 20, 2009 at 04:59 PM EST #

ha ha! 1+7! And I would DEFINATLY transfer to Easton if it were a real school, I'm in grade 9 so it's all good. *Sigh* If only... --Natasha

Posted by Natasha on January 20, 2009 at 05:33 PM EST #

Wow, I read Revelation in literally five hours. I love how you kept us guessing but I need more. And I just read the first chapter of Paradise Lost, its brilliant! Who would have thought, Ivy getting shot? I didnt even realize she was there. I hope Reed and Josh get back together, Ivy is a nice girl, but I love Reed. Please make it better. Im also anxious to read Privilage and Last Christmas. I heard those were great. Anyways I love your books, dont stop writing, they are amazing!!

Posted by Brianna on January 20, 2009 at 08:21 PM EST #

i thought privileged was amazing! i was so scared i thought she had committed suicide. Kate, you have done it again. you blew me away. great job!

Posted by Allie on January 20, 2009 at 08:37 PM EST #

Btw, in 'Legacy' I noticed that the dedication was to the real Billings Girls. Are these books based on read people, just wondering. And also, I was wondering why Sabine and Noelle had so much hate for each other when they first met. I mean obviously Sabine knew about Noelle but Noelle didnt know about Sabine, sorry, Im a bit confused.

Posted by Brianna on January 20, 2009 at 09:17 PM EST #

i thought it was amazing. ariana is sreiously mental or phsycotic but its cool to see wut she does or is going to da

Posted by sarah on January 21, 2009 at 11:27 AM EST #

WOW! I thought that this book was uterly AMAZING!!! I read it in one day:) I like the fact that you can't put it down and it always keeps me quessing at what was going on and what was going to come next. Ariana is probably my favorite character out of all of the books:) PLEASEEEE keep them coming i think that it is a great spinoff of the series,,BUT please don't forget Private:) i read the first chapter of Paradise Lost and im already nervous waiting for it:) thanks and your AMAZING:) --<3!

Posted by Karlie on January 21, 2009 at 03:44 PM EST #

read it, loved it !!! no matter gave me a new look on Ariana

Posted by emmelineeee on January 21, 2009 at 07:27 PM EST #

Loved the book! i read the whole thing when it came out the first day! Can't wait intill the next Privilige series! and Paradise Lost!

Posted by Crystal on January 21, 2009 at 07:43 PM EST #

Posted by prettyinpink on January 21, 2009 at 08:30 PM EST #

My fav character (besides Josh of course) is Taylor. She is sorta like me, except I don't have a photographic memory, I don't even know wat work I have 2 do 4 the rest of the semester (altho it ends Friday...), and I don't "ace" everything. Amanda K.M.- Y did u call Kate, Kieran? Am I missing something? Who knew the books were also in Australia. Brianna- Did u find out who the real Billings girls were? They could just b a nickname 4 some1 she knows... Hard math this time... darn.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 21, 2009 at 08:48 PM EST #

Omggg, did anyonee read the new description of Paradise Lost???? Taylor and Kiran go on that vacation with Noelle and Reed!!!!!!!! They are backkk!

Posted by casey on January 22, 2009 at 12:27 AM EST #

OMG!! whoever tells me where to find this description will be my new best friend!! lol

Posted by Amanda on January 22, 2009 at 03:16 PM EST #

Brianna- when if you go to the VERY last page on every book (not the last page of the story but the one after it) it says that NONE of this was based on real people and situations, and since the billings are fabolus i bet she was referring to her friends :]

Posted by Amanda on January 22, 2009 at 04:00 PM EST #

yess im posting alot but studing pancreas cancer for bio is boring as anything so...yeah, my fav charater is Kiran (cuase im so jealous of her birthday presents lol) and noelle cuase shes an AMAZING friend(at least i think so!)

Posted by Amanda on January 22, 2009 at 04:04 PM EST #

I absolutly loved this book! To understand Arianna more was amazing! Thank you so much and i Cant wait for more!- xoxo Allie

Posted by Allie on January 22, 2009 at 04:31 PM EST #

Amanda- if you go to the simon and schuester website(google it) and then search paradise lost and Kate brian and click on the book its right there!! I am SOOO excited for those two to come back. I am rereading boooks 1,3,4(2 too sad) in preperation!!

Posted by casey on January 22, 2009 at 05:02 PM EST #

I absoluely LOVED privelege!! I knew that Kaitlynne was always bad and when Ariana killed Brianna Leigh I was so mad because they got really close and poor Brianna had gone through soo much! I did notice the slight mistake with Kaitlynne and Brianna's tan leather jacket. I am dying to find out what happens at Arianas new school (or should I say ANA'S new school). Wonder what shes going to tell Grandma Convington abouot Brianna!! AHH I can not wait until June!! I have read all private novels and I am unpatiently waiting for Paradise Lost to come out in February. The Privelege series is going to be just as good as the Private series.

Posted by Adys on January 22, 2009 at 06:53 PM EST #

Amanda- I didn't notice the page in the back of the book until it was at the end of the first chapter to Paradise Lost. Why did she put that? Was there confusion r something? I totally agree. I have to write an essay for U.S. History about WWI and it's soooo boring. It's due tomorow tho so I should probably go do that... I posted both these comments 2gether, but it wouldn't let me post, so I separated them. Y wouldn't it let me? I caused me trouble. :-( ~Steph<3

Posted by Steph :-) on January 22, 2009 at 06:55 PM EST #

Where is the new description for paradise lost? i HAVE to read it. man, im such a book nerd :] READ: TWILIGHT SERIES, THE HUNGER GAMES, DREAMLAND, THE LOVELY BONES

Posted by Mary Jo on January 22, 2009 at 07:37 PM EST #

STEPH- hah so is mine! second period (YUCK!) i had to do a poster and everything and trust me id rather do a project on bombs then on a pancreas, lol and people are always looking for a reason to sue and if a person really had an event in the book happen to them i bet 100 bucks they'd sue. so its for i guess you could say protection MARY JO- i have read the twilight series it was soo good expect for the last book,...ok no il stop myself there before i start getting mad lol!(i waited 9 months for the last book and i seriously wanted to burn the thing, yeah i HATED it that much)ok ganna stop talking now :] byyeee

Posted by Amanda on January 22, 2009 at 08:12 PM EST #

Adys -- I'm impatiently waiting for 'Paradise Lost' too (though not as much as I was for 'Revelation'), but I've found that reading some 'Private' fanfiction helps pass the time.

Posted by JC on January 23, 2009 at 09:44 AM EST #

JC- where did you find fanfiction? i used to read them for twilight and i always wondered if there was any for this book

Posted by Amanda on January 23, 2009 at 11:39 AM EST #

Love last christmas and privilege i can't wait till beautiful disater wil reed be involve

Posted by rosy on January 23, 2009 at 03:38 PM EST #

so i went onto the website (simon and schuester) and this is the description: "With Cheyenne's murder solved and Sabine's secret identity revealed, Reed has had just about all of the shock she can bear for a while. As she recovers from Sabine's final attack and grieves for her fallen friend, Noelle takes her on a winter break trip to relax and maybe even try to have some fun. With Kiran Hayes and Taylor Bell joining them, a Billings reunion is in full force. Perhaps it's possible that Reed can actually go a few weeks without any tragedies occuring...but it is pretty unlikely." so what i want to know is: when it says "fallen friend" does that mean Ivy dies? i hope not i see so much unseen potential with her, and it will make me sad :[ AND is this a factual website?

Posted by Amanda on January 23, 2009 at 04:18 PM EST #

ugh i so so so want paradise lost so bad. the last 10 pgs. were like WHAT THE CRAP. i couldn't believe it. but anyway i thought privilege was rele good 2. what if like privilege and private merge at the end of both series. that would be wicked awesome.i wonder what they would call it.or if ariana got caught. that would be no fun.

Posted by sophie on January 23, 2009 at 04:30 PM EST #

Amanda- New Moon was my fav Twilight book. I <3 Jacob! (more than Josh btw) Hard 2 believe, but it's true. I liked the last book, but it was WAY too long. It could've been split into 2 books. I've seen simonsays.com around, so I'm pretty sure it's credible. I have it 6th period, rite after lunch. Yum! :-) OME! I just noticed that b4 I posted all of these comments w/tons of theories but they never showed up! :-( Not fair. JC- I've only found one story (that actually makes sense) 4 Private on FanFiction. Wat else have u found?

Posted by Steph :-) on January 23, 2009 at 05:22 PM EST #

Anyway, since my comment yesterday didn't post, here r all my theories 4 Paradise Lost: Someone dies! Every 4 books someone dies, and then 3 books later we find out who done it! Is it.... Kiran? Taylor? Astrid? Rose? London? Vienna? Missy(that would b great)? Lorna? Constance? Whit? Shelby? Oooo... Sabine murdered in jail? Lol. One of the other Billings Girls that I've forgotten? Gage? Dash? Trey? Ivy? A teacher? Someone we haven't heard of? It (hopefully) isn't going 2 b Noelle cuz the series would plummet downhill w/o her, Josh cuz Kate would b mobbed, or Reed cuz it is told in her point of view so that would b lame & we'd never find out wat happened next. I'll continue on another comment.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 23, 2009 at 05:38 PM EST #

Other comment cntd: They go on a cruise? Idk! That's how I pictured their vacation. Mayb someone's pushed off the ship and never seen again! Isn't that very common in mysteries? Is Reed back in Billings? Who knows? Idk if I want her 2 b r not... R Taylor n Kiran going back 2 Easton? I want them back! Noelle got back in, so they should 2! They were only juniors! Josh and Reed MUST get back together. Probably won't tho cuz it'll b 2 confusing... Dangit (can u swear on here?). That's all!

Posted by Steph :-) on January 23, 2009 at 05:39 PM EST #

Found fanfics on fanfiction.net. I've actually been surprised at the quality of a few. Can't expect anyone to approach Kate, of course, since that's not really a fair comparison. Still, it's interesting stuff to read in the meantime. Some tales present the stories from Josh's point of view. Some have Reed and Ivy becoming friends. Anyway, this is part of why I hope it gets turned into a TV series -- to provide a weekly 'Private' fix ;)

Posted by JC on January 23, 2009 at 05:49 PM EST #

OMG!!! I can not stand it!! I go on thi website like every day to see if there are any updates and sneak peaks to books! P.S. Privilege was freakin AMAZING! I love arianna even though shes a crazy murderer and Hudson like OMG but yea i cannot wait 4 paradise lost it needs to come out earlier! <3 I hate waiting theres nothing to read (ive already read all your other books) Any Suggestions? Thanks peoples -Marisa :)

Posted by Marisa on January 23, 2009 at 05:59 PM EST #

Okay, here's stuff I 4got. Sry I'm posting so many comments! Tiffany? Portia? Amberly? She's suspicious. I mean, her and Sabine were roommates! And she had reason 2 dislike Cheyenne. :-) (I really just don't like her)

Posted by Steph :-) on January 23, 2009 at 06:06 PM EST #

wow. i read Privilege in like 5 hours. it was so good. and now i cant wait till the next 1 and Paradise Lost!!!

Posted by elaine on January 23, 2009 at 06:15 PM EST #

ill have to leave two comments: STEPH- Eclispe was the best i <3 jake but hes mine so back off haha edward is a pansy, Bd is the most sorry excuse of a book ive ever suffered through (not exaderating)uh, taylor already graduated9at public school)i dout anyone will die cuase 2(maybe three) have already died.

Posted by Amanda on January 23, 2009 at 07:21 PM EST #

ok so when you try and curse it comes up as spam! NOT FAIR!! not being able to curse is slowly killing me! so if i was doing a fanfiction it would go like this: sabine kills amberly instead of chyenne and everyone is so happy they give her, her own holiday and give her a parade :] yess i hate Amberley (is it obvious or what)

Posted by Amanda on January 23, 2009 at 07:32 PM EST #

I just finished Last Christmas and it was amazing!!!! The book was so well thought out and it I LOVED IT!! The Private Books are the only series of books that I bought every single one of them! I can't wait to read Privilege. I just got it last Saturday!

Posted by Morgan on January 24, 2009 at 10:47 AM EST #

Okay so i just finished the princess and the pauper that was really good ther needs to be a sequel!!!!!!!! But of course someone else is gonna die in the private series! MAybe not right away. not ivy but i was thinking like tiffany because shes always got a camera and might catch something ;) and btw amberly has it freakin out for her i mean she could be like arianna's bitc.hy double! so yea i think those could be pretty real and i am so mad! beautiful disaster comes out in june!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH UGH UGH!!!

Posted by Marisa on January 24, 2009 at 11:44 AM EST #

omg omg omg!!!!!!!!!! the book was so awsome! ariana is soooooooo freaky! but a great character!!! but im so mad that the next book doesnt come out until june!!!!!! urgh! keep on writing!

Posted by Jane on January 24, 2009 at 03:31 PM EST #

Marisa thank you for showing me the way to curse on here lol! i seriously am douting another person will dye becuase you can only use death so many times before it starts to get old, you know? shell have to wait for like 3 more books to come out before i think another death would seem to fit. but maybe thats just me. and Amberly is a total bit.ch :D i hope she commits suicide (a real suicied(cause i mean id PAY for that to happen!))

Posted by Amanda on January 24, 2009 at 04:51 PM EST #

lol i was kidding (sort of.) lol but i think that the storys on fanfiction are really good. everyone should check it out

Posted by Amanda on January 24, 2009 at 04:52 PM EST #

Well, Kate, you've done it again! Although I already finished reading Privelge a few days ago, I ended up liking it -- a lot. There are a lot of reasons I liked it, but I suppose the most important one was that I actually got to get inside Ariana's head. Ariana's been one of my top favourite characters in Private (besides Sabine!), and so to read about her thoughts and such was really awesome :) And kinda creepy. Haha. And I so can't WAITTT for Paradise Lost. The title is so... well, mysterious. So who knows what's gonna happen. Like I said, Sabine's one of my favourite characters, and so I do kind of hope she's in Paradise Lost a little bit.. but part of me thinks probably not, but that would be okay. It's another Private book, so I can't complain! P.S. - Still awaiting news on the TV show idea! Please let us know anything as soon as possible? :D

Posted by Finnie on January 24, 2009 at 06:12 PM EST #

Privelege was ah-mazing! the begging, i admit, was a little freaky, but there were so many fabulous twist and turns! I hope you keep writing and i cant wait for Paradise Lost! I have it marked o my calender and everyting lol!

Posted by anna :] on January 24, 2009 at 08:44 PM EST #

Finnie -- I've been wondering too, but apparently no one's interested in pursuing a TV show right now...even though the book's publisher is the same company that owns the CW. Go figure. All the talk about Ariana gets me thinking that there could be an episode of the show dedicated to 'Last Christmas.' In fact, I imagine that there could be entire episodes dedicated to each of the main characters. I'm also wondering if there will be another book prequel.

Posted by JC on January 24, 2009 at 10:06 PM EST #

AWESOME i love these series!and megan meades guide 2 the mcowan boys it is a great book!!! U SHOULD WRITE A SENCOND ONE 2 IT 2!

Posted by sham on January 25, 2009 at 12:22 AM EST #

I loved it! Ariana is such an amazing character (: I loved how we got to learn so much about her in this novel! I loved her internal dialog. Two tumbs up(:

Posted by Amber on January 25, 2009 at 11:13 AM EST #

First of all, Kieran is Kate Brian's real name. Kate is just her pseuydom(sp?) 2nd, Easton academy is a public school in PA. second of all, there is not billings, so you must have read it wrong. don't get me wrong, i love twilight...but seriously, enough with the team hollis thing and why are you talking about the twilight saga on a privatenovel website? It's a waste of time. but kate brian, paradise lost needs to come out sooner! i cannot waitt :)

Posted by Vicky on January 25, 2009 at 02:44 PM EST #

OMG KATE BRIAN YOU ROCK!!! Your books are amazing and I have a hard time putting them down. I can't wait to see what happens in Paradise Lost and Beautiful Disaster. I read Last Christmas in about 5 hours. I flipped out. It's scary at some parts... but absolutely amazing! Keep writing, Kate! -Laura and Becky :D

Posted by Laura and Becky on January 25, 2009 at 03:49 PM EST #

omg! i just got the book yesterday, but i havnt finished it. i also got the 8th book 2 the private series and finished it last night! the ending made me 2 impatient 2 wait till feb. 2 read paradise lost! u shud totally make a sitcom or something cuz it wud b awesome! i imagine it in my head all the time and wish it were a tv show. but keep up the good work and i cannot wait till paradise lost cums out soon! YAY! =D

Posted by Casey on January 25, 2009 at 03:51 PM EST #

oh my gawd, privilege was amazing!! i loved the story line, and i cant wait to hear what goes on @ atherton-pryce hall. ariana is just so...driven, not to mention psychotic. but she knows what she wants, and she gets it which relly ticks me off

Posted by julie on January 25, 2009 at 05:33 PM EST #

So Privilege was amazing. I love Ariana and kinda want her with hudson but if she meets someone new thats fine with me! Cant wait until Lost Paradise! oh and JOsh and Reed need to get back together ASAP :)

Posted by Cecile on January 25, 2009 at 06:17 PM EST #

i just finished reading privilege and i really liked it. i knew that kaitlynn couldnt be trusted. i felt so sad when arianna realized she couldnt go back to her old life and she couldnt be with hudson which totally sucks but at least she can make a new life for herself at atherton-pryce hall. i cant wait for paradise lost!!!!!!!!!!! reed and josh forever!!

Posted by Angela on January 25, 2009 at 07:59 PM EST #

Vicky- I'm sry that we get off topic. Plus, no waste of time, but lets not get into an argument cuz that IS a waste of time. Myob. Marisa- Good thinking. Finnie- Y do u like Sabine? She was about to kill Reed & almost killed (mayb she did, wdk) Ivy! She's seemed sweet and innocent, but it turned out to all b an act! Sum1 should make videos on YouTube on Private. That would b hilarious. If not, I will get some of my friends 2 do it w/me. It will b so much fun! :-) Finally Paradise Lost is less than a month away! Yes!

Posted by Steph :-) on January 25, 2009 at 08:11 PM EST #

nd ariana should def date hudson haha

Posted by jennie on January 26, 2009 at 09:57 AM EST #

Vicky-we were just making conversation. nothing more, and the only reason TWILIGHT was brought up in the fisrt place is cause someone posted a list of books to read and TWILIGHT was on there. Im not going to aplogize(it wasn't a waste of time for us) for talking about another book. The comments are a way for us to talk to each other and Kate, and me and steph were just talking. ok so i spent way more time talking about that then i should have, anyway... Private youtube things (forget the word) would be funny.

Posted by Amanda on January 26, 2009 at 11:43 AM EST #

about the posted i just left so no one miss understands me, i wasnt yelling or trying to start a fight. I was just explaining why the subject was brought up.

Posted by Amanda on January 26, 2009 at 11:46 AM EST #

Heyy! so will privilege explain what happens at the end of revelation? loveee all of the books btw :)

Posted by Kristina on January 26, 2009 at 03:19 PM EST #

Yeah, does Reed die or not? I am a little confused, cuz some people live after being shot in the head... Does anyone have OPD? (Obessive Private Disorder. You know, Obessed with the Private series?) I cuz I do!!! I dun't want to be alone. Kate Brian, I have an idea! You can create a Wiki on wetpaint about Private! More publicity and we all talk... Like, yeah... it's fun. We could have diffrent pages on each book and stuff. To check out wetpaint, here's the address~ wetpaint.com

Posted by liz on January 26, 2009 at 03:38 PM EST #

KRISTINA- no privlege is a series in Arianas pov. and its 1 1/2 years after Ariana tries to kill reed LIZ- reed was never shot, you can read the fisrt chapter now go to the main page and scroll down youll see a link saying read free chapters click the picture that says paradise Lost

Posted by Amanda on January 26, 2009 at 04:04 PM EST #

Ok I can NOT wait any longerfor paradise lost, ughh i just reread the first four books... AMAZINGG. Ughh i just can not wait. Kate, if you read this can you atleast just post another blog, its always interesting hearing the goings on with this series or whatever. TWO MORE Weeks<33

Posted by casey on January 27, 2009 at 12:37 PM EST #

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR BOOKS:)BUT I WISH THOMAS WOULDN'T HAVE DIED.I REALLY LIKED HIM:(BUT ANYWAY YOUR BOOKS ARE THE BEST BOOKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD.I LOVE THEM!YOU SHOULD MAKE LOTS MORE OF THEM.THANKS!

CASEY-sorry, but the book doesnt comeout for about 29 days counted last night

Posted by Amanda on January 27, 2009 at 02:59 PM EST #

I read on Alloy Entertainment's website (click on the icon at the bottom of this website) that Private is an eleven book series. Paradise Lost is 9, Suspicion is 10 and then one more. (Unless the prequel, Last Christmas, is counted??)

Posted by alyssahh on January 27, 2009 at 05:32 PM EST #

I love the private series! I have read almost all of them in a week.. just 2 more to go and i cant put them down!! and i cant wait to read privilege but i think they need to put pictures to the faces on the front cover.. its driving me nuts to try and think of who all they could be

Posted by J on January 27, 2009 at 08:35 PM EST #

I was counting the fact that it comes out online two weeks early, well it usually does for this book and most others. So it comes out in two weeks.

Julie the new Private book comes out online in two weeks, and reed wasn't shot, the first chapter is on this website. Don't worry there is atleast two more books coming out!!

Posted by casey on January 28, 2009 at 01:38 AM EST #

OMG! thank you sooo much Amanda! So, to clear this up, she is still writing the "private" Series, and is writing the "privilage series too! alright, now, Is lost Paridise the only one that is up and coming in the Private Series? or is there more!? I would really appreciate if someone cleared it up for me and wrote and the books in the Private series, (including the up and coming one(s)) and then all the ones in the privlage series, up and coming as well. LIke this... Private Series~ Private Blah blah Privilage Series Privilage, Blah blah KNow what I mean? If so, please do it for me!!!! I am so HAPPY REED DIDN"T DIE! If she had ended the series with that, my case of OPD would be blown out of proportion!

Posted by LIZ on January 28, 2009 at 12:53 PM EST #

I hope Josh and Reed get back together, if they don't I might just have to... to... I don't know, but i'll do something! : )

Posted by julia on January 28, 2009 at 03:33 PM EST #

casey i lied...i have another question for u. how do u know reed didnt get shot. i mean it was preety clear with the last Private book. the gun went off and everything went black. i need to know. luv the series!!!

Posted by julia on January 28, 2009 at 03:40 PM EST #

Hey Kate! Just wanted to let you know, you are an amazing author! The Private series are my absolute favorite and you always leave me itching for more! I really liked Privilege and I think you should write more like that but from Kiran and Taylor's points of views. Maybe even Noelle's. You have an awesome gift and you are most definitely my favorite author! Love you Kate & thanks for some good reads!

Posted by Brittany on January 28, 2009 at 04:35 PM EST #

Julia- im not casey but i can help you out, if you go on the main page for this site and scroll down to the bottom thier is a botton that says read free chapters go to the one that says paradise Lost and you can read the first chapter, it explains why everything when dark, and who was shot. LIZ- haha when i dont like what happens in a book i have a tendensy to throw it lol , happy to help :]STEPH- WHERE ARE YOU lol you totally went MIA on me here hahaha

Posted by Amanda on January 28, 2009 at 06:02 PM EST #

Amanda- Sry, there was nothing really 2 say. I'm happy that u like having me around (in the computer sense :-). Does that make sense? Haha, idk. I've had a lot of hw and other stuff 2 do, like sleep. I'm so tired but rite now isn't really a good time 2 sleep. I don't throw books, but during embarrassing or awkward parts 4 the main character, I have 2 put the book down 4 a minute b4 I can start reading again. :-) Liz- Wait, do u want all the books in both series? If so, here they r (and the days they come out on). Private, Invitation Only, Untouchable, Confessions, Inner Circle, Legacy, Ambition, Revelation, Last Christmas (I read it after Revelation cuz it made sense, but u don't have 2, just read it after Confessions), Paradise Lost (February 24, 2009), Suspicion (September 8, 2009) Privilege, Beautiful Disaster(June 2, 2009)

Posted by Steph :-) on January 28, 2009 at 06:42 PM EST #

My last "comment" cntd... Julia- Wat do u mean it comes out online in 2 weeks? Estoy confundidad. Also, listen to wat Amanda said, she's rite :-) Ashley- It definitely doesn't come out the 9th, cuz that's a Monday and books usually come out on Tuesdays...

Posted by Steph :-) on January 28, 2009 at 06:43 PM EST #

Steph- If you order it online then it starts shipping in two weeks, well less than that now. It doesn't come out in stores till the 24th though.

Posted by casey on January 28, 2009 at 06:55 PM EST #

Heyyy Im a BIG fan or ur serious i think its original, infreshing, and each page attract all my attention..its unpredictable! I loved the book privileged and was wondering if u could post the first chapter of beautiful disaster!!

Posted by Jessica on January 28, 2009 at 07:37 PM EST #

amanda- thanks u so much for the directions. i read the first chapter and i wanna read more. to bad it doesnt come out till feb 24. : (. steph- even though u thougnt u were helping liz u helped me 2. ive been wanting the whole series. thanks again girlyz. : )

Posted by julia on January 28, 2009 at 07:59 PM EST #

steph : )- i dont really remember saying that. i think it was casey who said that. but im not really sure. i thought it came out feb. 24 not in two weeks. sorry i cant help much.

Posted by julia on January 28, 2009 at 08:03 PM EST #

I loved the Private series, but I wonder are you going to write more of them, like what happens to reed?, I really want you o write another novel! Please!

Posted by Lizzie on January 28, 2009 at 08:27 PM EST #

lizzie- i had the same exact questions. but yeah there is at least two more books coming out. the next one, paradise lost, comes out feb. 24. and the first chapter of it is on the main page of this website. go there and go all the way to the bottom. there is a link that says get free chapters and next to that is more links. these are all first chapters. just click on the one u want. and ur questions are answered.

Posted by julia on January 28, 2009 at 09:09 PM EST #

Steph- hahah you left and then i felt like the only person checking and posting all the time haah. just thinking but, if ivy does die there is no way in he.ll that Josh would go back to reed, cuase think about it, ivy died cause he was saving reed. That would tourcher him.

Posted by Amanda on January 29, 2009 at 12:33 PM EST #

amanda- i think that josh would still get back together w/ reed. i mean he still likes her and it would kill him everyday to see her everyday at school and not go out with her. and there the perfect couple.

Posted by julia on January 29, 2009 at 01:48 PM EST #

JULIA- i get what you mean but what im thinking is wouldnt it also kill him looking at her and knowing everyday that he got ivy killed loving reed to much? i know its hard to explain the way my brain works but i mean he'll always have ivys death in the back of his mind when he was with her and it would also be a horrible way to remember her to just go out with reed right away, you know?

Posted by Amanda on January 29, 2009 at 03:45 PM EST #

ya amandas right but at the same time like i dont think that ivey will be able to stay with him when she knows that he still love reed and like i thinks she and everyone else knows that josh and reed belong together .

Posted by caitlyn on January 29, 2009 at 03:58 PM EST #

if we read privaleged is it gonna ruin anything from the paradise book or is it setup to where you can read both series at the same time and not ruin the other???

Posted by Christie on January 29, 2009 at 05:07 PM EST #

hey! i JUST finished privilege and it was great! the only bad part is that its a cliffhanger! i so can't wait till the next book in both Private and Privilege. <3 ur books.

Posted by <3 on January 29, 2009 at 06:45 PM EST #

Julia- Sry about that. Casey- Where did u order urs? Does it matter? Where did u hear that? Amanda- I understand ur view, that would really suck. Hopefully Ivy doesn't die, she gets better, and Josh catches her and Gage in a room 2gether... :-) That would b pretty dam.n awesome. Now I really hope that happens!!!

Posted by Steph :-) on January 29, 2009 at 08:16 PM EST #

OMG I just found the overview for paradise lost and if Josh is not going on this vacation I am going to be so heartbroken they have to get back together--- this sounds lame but I cried at least 3 times while reading revelations for Josh and Reed.

Posted by christie on January 29, 2009 at 08:30 PM EST #

Hey! I'm loving Privelage. My friend and I are actually doing a duet from it for Forensics. I was just wondering, is there going to be a Private movie. I had started typing in the characters names, and all of a sudden, movie stars started showing up. If its going to be a movie, I will be so happy! :) Thank you for making such a great series. I love it!

Posted by Analeigh Ivy on January 29, 2009 at 09:22 PM EST #

Christie- No it will no privilege is set a year and a hlaf after confession so as long as you've read up to confessions you should be good (thier is a little metion of Revelation) but if you havent gotton to Revilaion yei it wont matter, so go read it im sure you love it

Posted by Amanda on January 29, 2009 at 10:10 PM EST #

amanda- thanks, I have it in my sweaty little hands just havent cracked the cover yet Im still freaking over revelations which I just finished and the first chapter of paradise lost. I swear if Reed and Josh dont get back together in the book I might die I cant wait until september for the next book they have to get back together now!!!! lol ok Ive gone crazy

Posted by christie on January 29, 2009 at 10:22 PM EST #

Christie- Wat do u mean September? Paradise Lost comes out on February 24 and Beautiful Disaster comes out on June 2? Do u mean Suspicion? Cuz that comes out September 8. Sry 4 all that info. Lol... :-)

Posted by Steph :-) on January 29, 2009 at 10:58 PM EST #

OMG I loved your books. I want to write books one day too! Haha well I just finished Ambition, I had to read all of them over, they are sooo good. I was just so sad about Josh. Reed really needs him back, but I don't blame him, it's her fault. But Ivy as much as I try to understand her I just can't. But I still love your books. Especially how you make Josh haha and ALL the other characters soooo real. I feel like I really know them, and like I'm seeing all this take place in my life ha yea right! I still love your books and love your very realistic characters! Thank you soooo much for the series! I LOVE IT! Please, please, please keep writing this series. I dont' want it to stop, then I won't have anything to do. Haha! Well I'm getting Revelation tomorrow I hope! Right after my basketball game! So thanks again! AND please keep the books coming, maybe one day after all your inspiration you'll be reading one of my books! Adios! x's Andi

Posted by Andi (a.k.a Josh LOVER) on January 29, 2009 at 11:49 PM EST #

omg kate it was soo amazing! im in love with the new series! cant wait for paradise lost & beautiful disaster! btw im in love with josh hollis were guna get married lol jk but he is so adorable

Posted by Kaitlyn (Josh is Mine! luv tht guy!) on January 30, 2009 at 07:11 PM EST #

amanda and caitlyn- i guess u are right. but i still dont thing that he will be able to stay away from her for that long. cause it is obvious that he still likes her. and i think that ivy wouldnt want to go out with josh anymore since he almost got her killed trying to say reed. aka the love of josh's life. see what i mean? Analeigh Ivy- i think it would be so fun to have a movie for it 2. and i think that fans of the books should pick who the charachters should be. bc ive read alot of books where the characters on screen dont match up with the ones in my head. and im not the only one that thinks that.

Posted by julia on January 30, 2009 at 10:25 PM EST #

steph- yea I meant suspicion.... b/c if paradise lost is all on vaca she wont have time to get back together with josh and Im dying for them to get back together and if it doesnt happen until sept I might honestly die!!

Posted by christie on January 31, 2009 at 01:07 AM EST #

Love Private so much. OPD. I'm sure all the fans have it. Only 29 more days until Paradise Lost. I can't wait! Btdubbs, anyone planning on marrying Josh Hollis, sorry but he's mine. Hahaha. These books would do so well in a TV show. Just...if there ever is one, they should have very common characters, because everybody knows them. It would be like a mix of all our fave celebs on it. Some that people chose already have enough fame as it is. Everytime i read the first chapter of Paradise Lost, I cry. No matter what. Haha. Reed and Josh need and will get back together ;)

Posted by Vivian on January 31, 2009 at 10:51 AM EST #

christie- if paradise lost is all on vacation that might not be such a bad thing. because josh could be thinking about reed non-stop and ivy could figure it out. and the vacation would be ruined. or josh could feel out of place and want to go back just to be with reed.

Posted by julia on January 31, 2009 at 11:36 AM EST #

I luuuuuvvvv the private series!! I've read all of them (including last christmas and privalage) twice. I cant wait till paradise lost comes out, im gonna buy at the day it hits the shelves. Your such an amazing write kate!But im not exactly sure when Paradise Lost is coming out, ive googled it but i keep getting all different release dates? Can u post the date on your next blog? Josh Hollis is the hottest gyuy on earth!! And i actually wouldnt like it if u made a movie about the books, it would ruin it.

Posted by Kerri on January 31, 2009 at 03:57 PM EST #

kerri- the next book, paradise lost, comes out feb. 24.

Posted by julia on January 31, 2009 at 04:00 PM EST #

OMG I am still in love with Josh Hollis. I want him and Reed together so that I can read about him more too. Lol!!! Josh and I are going to go out soon if him and Reed don't get back together lol. Jk, although I do love love love his character!!! Well thank you sooooo much for the fabulous books. I'm about to go buy Revelation!!! In like 10 mins!!! Can't wait...I'll comment after I start reading it, I'm sure I'll love it too! Keep the books coming! Ohhhh and are the girls on the cover a specific girl in the books??? Like are they meant to be any specific character? Love the books, again! Buh-bye!!!

Hey guys!!! Oh and Amanda, I'm sorry if my comment made you go look up the real Easton lol. But i dont think it is real. I mean the one she is writing about. I was just trying to explain how real she makes it seem. Well any way love the books!!! Bye!

Posted by Lucy L. on January 31, 2009 at 07:45 PM EST #

Can someone tell me where 2 order Paradise Lost in the mail so I'll get it early? FYI 2 all the ppl. Josh Hollis is a fictional character. I like him 2, don't get me wrong, but really? Arguing over who is going 2 marry him? It's gonna b Reed so don't get ur hopes up. Wat if Josh came on vaca w/ them? Ik he's going 2 Paris w/ Ivy, but a girl can dream. Idt I could last a whole book w/o him. All the guys could meet them here. That would b so much fun! Amanda- Now it's ur turn. Where r u? It's been a whole 2 days since u last commented!

Posted by Steph :-) on January 31, 2009 at 08:56 PM EST #

OMG i haven't been on here in a while. i cant believe private ends in like 2 books! it will be like there's a gap in my life when its gone!!!

Posted by Missy on January 31, 2009 at 09:49 PM EST #

omg i just read privlege and i cant believe what ariana does i thought she was done and i think shes crazy i feel bad for her.

Posted by amanda on January 31, 2009 at 11:11 PM EST #

Missy- Since when does Private end in 2 books? Kate never said that. All she said is that those r the 2 books she knows for sure of. If u haven't noticed the pattern, every 4 books the problem is resolved so that means there's at least going 2 b a 12th book... hopefully. She can't stop until Reed finishes high school at the very least. She still has a year and a half of school to go. Then, she could write about Reed in college. That would b cool. :-) I'm pretty sure Kate's not planning on stopping any time soon. But I'm not speaking 4 her, so I'm not positive. Someone correct me if I'm totally wrong.

Posted by Steph :-) on January 31, 2009 at 11:31 PM EST #

I think your right steph, also you can go to bn.com or amazon.com and either one should ship the book two weeks early!!

Posted by casey on February 01, 2009 at 02:47 AM EST #

Also we all need to generate some more talk at the barnes and noble teeen book message board and get more people to read these books. NO ONE should not have the chance to read these books they are soo good!! Heres the link, talk about private, you just need to sign up a little more!! http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/bn/board?board.id=TeenReads

Posted by casey on February 01, 2009 at 03:32 AM EST #

I feel like Ivy's injuries should prevent the whole paris thing or at least we know they will prevent her and Josh from going horizontal while they're there b/c really I dont trust that its not Ivy's main goal to come out of the paris trip- it was written into the phone conversation that Reed and Josh over heard- but that seems like the ultimate Reed betrayl of Josh to sleep with Ivy, and I feel like if that event were to occur it would prevent the reunion of Josh and Reed. Really I just want my own live version of Josh but with brown hair and brown eyes so really just his personality. I feel like the boys in these books are unrealistically loyal and open about there feelings with these girls either that or I just grew up with a bunch of jackasses and need to find the real men.

Posted by Christie on February 01, 2009 at 04:27 AM EST #

When does Paridise Lost arive!!!!!! I NEED more Private!! Its addicting!!! :)

Posted by monica kala on February 01, 2009 at 10:35 AM EST #

steph : )- hey i got a question. how would she do reed in college. bc everybody at easton is a big part and reeds life so how could she go off to college, and have everybody like josh, constance, ivy, and noell in the book. and i dont think that it should skip back and forth to the many colleges that everybody is going 2.

Posted by julia on February 01, 2009 at 10:39 AM EST #

me again steph : )- and i dont think that they would all be going to the same college. cause thats not very realistic.

Posted by julia on February 01, 2009 at 10:40 AM EST #

haha, Caleb, when i was reading blogs and i saw your name, i was like 'hmm, who would name their daughter Caleb?" cause no offense, whenever i read these books and a guy opens it they quickly look at me an start laughing at the one sentance that they read. lol. but anyways, that's cool that a guy is reading the series, (: --savannah lynn<3

Posted by savannah lynn on February 05, 2009 at 09:17 PM EST #

I am reading privilege right now, and i cant put it down, i have to though to do my everyday activities but oh i love it so much!!! and i feel compassionate for Ariana even though she's a murder, and Briana Leigh is such a bitch, and I'm starting to wonder if kaitlyn is really innocent? hmmm.... I'll find out soon and what's with the grandma, she doesn't seem very nice. thanks for writing such amazing books! xoxo JB

Posted by Jakeline on February 11, 2009 at 10:38 PM EST #

Okay I have to say it I loved Privlidge more than Private and I have now fallen in love with Ariana. I just ordered the next Private book (my local book store only has book 1 and 2) *screams at amazon to hurry up with the delivery* But I cannot wait for Privildige you have got to love Ariana.

Posted by Polly on February 24, 2009 at 03:07 PM EST #

i havent read this book cause when i went to da libary every1 checked it out so i read to 2nd book it was really good! :P

Posted by krollin on March 25, 2009 at 06:45 PM EDT #

I loved the book! I just read it all today, start to finish. I was wishing she would meet with noelle or kiran or ONE of them or something, just say hi or whatever, it waS sad when she walked away.. I'd also like to know what happened to Sabine. but the book was uber good, is she going to continue killing? I wish not. But hey, I'm excited for the next !

Posted by AnnaJane on April 06, 2009 at 02:21 AM EDT #

From the moment that i finished the first book, "Private", I was addicted to the series. I cannot put your books down, and they are easily an equal match for "Twilight". I read the book "Last Christmas", which I absolutely adore, and it became my favorite book out of the series. I love how you wrote about the struggles that Ariana endures in her secrete home-life. It explains how she felt about Thomas and the conection that they shared, and it remindes me of Reed (my favorite character save Noell). If you would be so kind as to reveal who the models are supposed to be, it would be totally awesome! See, it is bothering me because i want to know what the first Billings girls look like! I have guessed who they might be; Arianna is the first girl on the cover of "Confessions", Reed is the first girl on the cover of "Untouchable", and im not sure about the rest? So if you could tell who they are on a blog, I am certian that it would make all of your fans extremely happy!!! So please tell us!

Posted by Shannon on April 21, 2009 at 04:31 PM EDT #

I absolutely love your books and cannot put them down. My favorite book is Last Christmas (it is so awesome). I just love how it lets you understand Ariana much better. I was wondering if you could please tell us who the models are supposed to represent?

Posted by Shannon on April 21, 2009 at 04:35 PM EDT #

I love your series it is the best series i have ever read it is so captivating i couldn't stop reading it. I feel and picture everything reed goes through. I hope you write about reed in your future books or keep going with private and continue reeds life after Easton. I just finished revelations and about to read paradise lost. you are a great writer. reed somewhat reminds me of myself i mean her personality and everything it somewhat reminds me of me. I love the series thank you for writing them -kaitlyn
