Long time no write!

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all your comments on my last blog. I LOVE hearing from everyone!

I can’t believe it’s already July 25th!! Where does the time go? I hope everyone’s been enjoying their summers. Mine’s been busy busy busy! Between Private and Privilege, I swear I need 48-hours in a day. But, of course, the good news about ME being busy is that it means that soon YOU will be very busy—reading! Private 8: REVELATION comes out September 16th. Then the Private Prequel: LAST CHRISTMAS comes out October 7th. And then PRIVILEGE comes out December 30th. Phew! I hope none of you will have homework, because obviously my books come first :)

Okay, back to writing for moi!

Love,
Kate


Comments:

I can not wait until Revelation. Is Josh graduating by then? Hope not. I just wish they could get back together. And, I couldn't believe how Josh spoke to Reed when they were in the Art, place, thing. But Reed had it coming to her, and if I were in that situation I would agree with Josh. How could Reed ask him that after everything that happened? That was the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. -Niya

Oh yeah and I was wondering if Josh was still taking his pills. If he was, I thought he was supposed to feel numb. And if he did how could he have loved Reed if he was numb? AAAAAAAAnd I don't think that we ever found out when Dash and Noelle got back together. I just want to find out if Dash is a user and not the perfect gentleman that everyone thinks he is.

Posted by Niya on July 25, 2008 at 02:00 PM EDT #

I totally agree with you Niya idk how she could ask him that after what she did. I love reed, but still it was defintely the wrong thing to say at the wrong time. Anyways can't wait till Revelation!!! Does anybody else think Ivy didn't kill Cheyenne? because my theory is that it was someone else that we would never guess. Idk Ivy and reed are like my favorite charachters. weird ik lol

Posted by Katherine on July 25, 2008 at 02:01 PM EDT #

i think it was trey who killed cheyenne! because he was ALWAYS soo bitter over her and you never really found out why they broke up.-marisa

Posted by marisa on July 25, 2008 at 02:50 PM EDT #

Wow. The ending to this one was great! I cannot believe all of what happened in the book. I too, hope that Reed and Josh get back together. But i also want to see what will happen with her and Noelle.

Posted by N on July 25, 2008 at 06:27 PM EDT #

I want Reed to be with Josh, but do you really think that's going to happen? I mean, Reed already asked Josh and Josh said no. She cheated on him. Can't wait for LAST CHRISTMAS because I want to read more about Thomas! (I really like him). -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on July 25, 2008 at 08:09 PM EDT #

Yeah, I really don't think that that'll happen but I hope to God or should I say to Kate, that some kind of miracle happens. Like, for instance, Reed saves Josh from some sort of evil(Ivy)and their flaming love rekindles orrrrrrrrr........yeeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhhhh........ -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 25, 2008 at 10:37 PM EDT #

Do you know that if you highlight all the comments you can see the names, dates, and times? I know, i'm late.

Posted by Niya on July 25, 2008 at 10:40 PM EDT #

hey wat up srry havent been on for a while but i cnt wait for revalition!!!!!!! i mean i rlly think reed should get back together with josh or go out with dash. i would rlly luv for her to be i with dash but rlly is he the gentlemen everyone think he is? and also if she does end up with him wnt noelle throw a fit? she has everything and has enough power to get reed thrown out. remember wat happened to natasha's girlfriend? srry frgt her name lol!!!!!!!!!! yeah well that was partly cause of araina but still...... anyway i cannot wait for last christmas cause even though thomas was a drunk jerk he was still hot. he also luved reed alot. i no so crzy i should probabally hate him. and i do in some ways confuzling well bye ---priyanka

Posted by priyanka on July 26, 2008 at 08:47 AM EDT #

I agree with marisa. I think Trey had something to do with the death of cheyene. I aslo think reed and dash should go out. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE josh but I still can't get over how he treated Reed in Legacy. I think too much happended for those two to be together.

Posted by Abbie on July 26, 2008 at 09:19 AM EDT #

What do you expect? Noelle almost put Josh in jail, of course he would try to talk Reed out of staying in Billings and becoming president. He saw the evil and all of the other things that the girls of Billings were put through and I don't think that he'd want to see her get hurt. And people keep saying that Josh deserved Reed cheating on him because of when he cheated with Cheyenne. He was drugged people. Reed was drunk but she was still able to comprehend everything that happened that night. It's her fault they're not together. -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 11:50 AM EDT #

marisa here again. when will the first chapter of revelation be posted?

Posted by marisa on July 26, 2008 at 01:59 PM EDT #

i think that ivy killed cheyenne... and i hope that reed and josh will get back together but then kind of dont... josh acted like a jerk to reed in legacy, atho she definately deserved it. I love josh but i think that their relationship, maybe, will never re-spark... but he HAS to break up with Ivy she's way evil even if she really didnt kill cheyenne! -Kayla

Posted by kayla on July 26, 2008 at 02:34 PM EDT #

OMG!! Is there like another Maria here sooo cool..Maria here!! But i'm the one that had like a huuuuge convo with Jackie in the other post......I just read Lucky T and Megan Meades Guide to the Mcg. Boys....Kate Pleeeeeeeez write another book.....i mean ur like leaving me hanging here!!!!

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 02:41 PM EDT #

Maria, how old are you?

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 05:54 PM EDT #

NIYA?! Hi, how are you!!!! OMG isn't this weird!! Anyways, I totally agree with everything that you said. Especially the whole NICK JONAS thing. OMG OMG OMG!!! Love Him! You like read my mind! I heard you were in Hawaii, im still here in Laguna Beach where you left me!!!! Comment Back!

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 05:57 PM EDT #

Oh yeah the last comment was from Maria! LOL!

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 05:58 PM EDT #

Oh My God! Maria?! Heyyy!!! hows everything? We're like on a blog talking about our own lives!! Anyway, did u get the job too!! Im dying to find out!

Posted by Niya on July 26, 2008 at 05:59 PM EDT #

Oh yeah that was NIYA

Posted by Niya on July 26, 2008 at 06:00 PM EDT #

Wait does that mean that you landed it too!!! We are like soul sisters!! Yep, I got it on the 3rd of July!! AE baby all the way! -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 06:03 PM EDT #

Yup anyways do you like Dash or Josh? -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 26, 2008 at 06:54 PM EDT #

MARIA, omg! there's two of you. I agree with the first Maria that it was Reed's fault about the relationship with her and Josh. For the second Maria, the one that I have convos with, yay! you read Megan Meade's! -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on July 26, 2008 at 06:56 PM EDT #

Idk. It'd be awesome if Josh and Reed got back together but i doubt it'll happen. What Reed did was just too much. Josh should at least break up w/ Ivy. Can't wait for Revelation!

Posted by Hannah on July 26, 2008 at 07:01 PM EDT #

R u kidding?!?! Josh why who do you like? -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 07:01 PM EDT #

Josh of course!!!! Omg! we think exactly alike!

Posted by Niya on July 26, 2008 at 10:42 PM EDT #

Sooooooo..... about the modeling thing, what did they say was unique about you, they said that theyv'e never seen an African American with Grey eyes! I bet I can guess what they said about yoouuuuu. -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 26, 2008 at 10:46 PM EDT #

Of course same ol same ol they said I was the only dark well medium skinned black person there with freckles and green eyes. They also said I looked carmelly.... weird. -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 26, 2008 at 11:32 PM EDT #

Hey other Maria!!! I'm just gonna put that I'm Maria #1 so that ppl can differentiate.....I'm the one that read Megan Meades Guide to Mcgowan Boys and I'm 15....just answering the question haha

Posted by Maira #1 on July 27, 2008 at 12:11 PM EDT #

OMG!!! your'e 15 im 15 too!!! -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 27, 2008 at 02:20 PM EDT #

Niya, r u on?

Posted by Maria on July 27, 2008 at 02:23 PM EDT #

Yep, so I heard you were going to THE HAMPTONS!!! Sooooo cool, remember that one summer when we were like 13 when we went to Hawaii together? It was like a freak accident. Same hotel and everything!!! -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 27, 2008 at 02:25 PM EDT #

Oh i'll never forget that one, yeah the hotel was goooood, but we even went on the same yacht, but that was all. It isn't that much of a coincidence because our fathers owned the same one!!!! But your'e lucky cause you get to go back there. Anyways, call my cell, I got my old number back. -Maria

Posted by Maria on July 27, 2008 at 02:32 PM EDT #

Yeahhhh, the good ol days. okay so i'll call. Wait isn't it the old cell phone when we lived in New Jersey? Yeah I think it was a 973 number, okay. -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 27, 2008 at 02:34 PM EDT #

Hahah I love how ppl r like talking like nothing about the books lol.....Maria that is like sooo cool!

Posted by Maria #1 on July 27, 2008 at 02:40 PM EDT #

Thnx Maria#1!! Hey, does that now mean i'm number 2!!!! Like always isn't that right NIYA?!?!

Posted by Maria on July 27, 2008 at 02:53 PM EDT #

Hey that was only once I was 4 give me a break!! -NIya

Posted by Niya on July 27, 2008 at 02:54 PM EDT #

i dont get it...hah

Posted by Maria #1 on July 27, 2008 at 02:55 PM EDT #

yeah, maybe we should start talking about books before we get in trouble or something. So, don't you love that Kate is from NJ?!?! I loved New Jersey!!! I'd rather still live there than living in lame ... LB. Isn't that right Mare!

Posted by Niya on July 27, 2008 at 02:57 PM EDT #

Yeah, LB is very tropical and everything but in NJ it was more homely and the leaves changed in fall. And the snow fell in winter and we took trips to Pennsylvania to go skiing remember that! I wonder if croton is real.

Posted by Maria on July 27, 2008 at 03:00 PM EDT #

Yeahhh, and 5th ave, I mean rodeo is great but 5th is just hommmeeee...... yeah and I can't wait for Last Christmas. I reallly want to get to know Thomas better. He was great and when he died I literally cried. (I made a rhyme, Hah!)

Posted by Niya on July 27, 2008 at 03:09 PM EDT #

omg where the hell is jackie she hasnt been on 4 like ever......i NEED to like kno if theres gonna b a sequel to megan Meades guide to mcg boys.....like I am loving that book its soooo good....guys dont u think that Kate has like a lot of simmilartities in her book? Like Josh and Finn both like to paint and Reed and Megan both play soccer and Evan and Dash r like the same ppl...

Posted by Maria #1 on July 27, 2008 at 03:39 PM EDT #

MARIA#1, sorry I haven't been on. But I'm here now! omg! you're right Maria#1, they are kind of like the same. Kate said that her publisher gets to make the decision about wheather there will be a sequel to Megan Meade's Guide. I read Megan Meade's Guide before I read the Private Series. I can't believe that Kate Brian wrote both of them. Cuz she like killed Thomas in Private. I never knew she was the kind of author who did that. LOL -Jackie

Posted by Jacqueline on July 27, 2008 at 04:51 PM EDT #

The private novels are the best book of my life. I am in love with them! Kate you are my hero!

Posted by :) on July 27, 2008 at 06:07 PM EDT #

Ok, I know everyone says it, but I love these books. My only problem is that I don't think Everyone should be mad when they found out about Reed and Dash. It's not like any of the New billing's girls even Noelle, and they were at Legacy. Isn't everything that happens there supposed to stay there? They only ones who have a right to be Mad are Noelle and Josh, and another thing. Josh is against all the Drama of Billings, but Ivy practically has Drama written on her forehead. It would be like him dating the essence of billings, but without the billings! I'm so confused. I need a new book for clarification.

Posted by Victoria Woodcock on July 27, 2008 at 06:38 PM EDT #

Okay. First off let me say, I LOVE these books. I first found them when I was shopping with my mom =], like a week ago. She bought the whole series minus Ambition (it wasn't at the store). I fell in love with them. I've finshed every book in the PRIVATE series, in less than a week. Okay, now anyway. I CANNOT wait til the next one comes out. And I totally agree with the first comment on this page written by Niya. Josh & Reed are like meant for eachother. I am so hoping they get back together. But I'm not sure it'll happen (either way i'll still love the books=]). And I can't wait for the next book to see what happens to Reed now that she has lost everything. I know the next book will only get better.

Posted by Nicole on July 27, 2008 at 09:43 PM EDT #

Omg! I love These books. They are definitly gifts of the gods (lol). I live in Holland now but am going to Canada. It was the day before we left that Ambition was comin out and i had to get it (they dont have it in holland.) Only just my luck we couldn't find. Turns out it was still stored in the boxes. So there was a lady nice enought to get one out for me. Thank god. Now I really hate what happend. I need to now whats gonna happen. I dont really care if Reed ends up with Josh or Dash. And what the hell is this im hearing about thomas in last christmas. I dont get it:S

Posted by Yasmin on July 28, 2008 at 07:36 AM EDT #

I can't wait until the rest of the books come out! But, didn't Kate Brian say that the Private series would kinda end and Privilege would start? Then what is this Paradise Lost? It says on amazon that it is Private book #9 but it also says that it is for younger kids, ages 9-12 when all the other books are for young adult... Link is below: http://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Lost-Private-Book-9/dp/1416958843/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217258425&sr=1-11

omg who ever victoria is i like totally agree with her 100 percent......like everything u sed is like true. Lylas-Maria#1

Posted by Maria #1 on July 28, 2008 at 11:47 AM EDT #

CAROLYN, omg! I have no idea what that means! -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on July 28, 2008 at 01:20 PM EDT #

OMG! I can't wait until Revelation! I really hope Josh and Reed get back together. But i don't think that it'll happen :( (ocgirl223@aim.com)

Posted by Lauren on July 29, 2008 at 01:05 AM EDT #

OMG! I love these books!! Really can't wait until Revelation! I really want Josh and Reed to get back together. Like everyone else!! I kinda don't think that will happen. I think someone probably put something in Reed's drink. I'm not sure. I really hope that everything will work out for Reed and Josh, even if they don't get back together. They should at least be friends again. As for Reed and Noelle well I say their friendship is over. God, I really want to know whats going to happen.

Posted by Ambika on July 29, 2008 at 06:27 PM EDT #

josh and reed have to get back together. ivy killed chyenne and so once reed can prove that to josh he will get back with her so hes not dating a KILLER! Reed and josh have to get back together!they are perf. for eachtoher.Ahh i can not wait untillthe next book i cant stop thinking about reed josh and the rest of them its crazy!how could they all ditch her at the benifit like that?!

Posted by Christine on July 29, 2008 at 11:57 PM EDT #

how do you pronounce chyeens name? is it like shy-een or shy-ann or shy-in? ive got no clue and it was bothering me during the books someone answer please =]

Posted by Rin on July 30, 2008 at 12:17 AM EDT #

I'm posting my comment in a few comments because my computer will not let me post it all together.... Did you all ever think that maybe Dash and Ivy framed Reed? You know Ivy may have looked at Reed's computer (when she was there to plant some of Cheyenne's stuff in Reed's room), and seen the email form Dash and somehow got him be on her side (she is very manipulative in that way). It is also a possibility that Noelle had something to do with it, because from what we know as readers Noelle does not get mad at Dash. If I was in Noelle's shoes I would be mad at Reed, and Dash.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:30 AM EDT #

continued..... So I think that maybe after Noelle found out about Reed and Dash emailing, and that Reed is now the leader of Billings, she is mad and wants to get revenge. I also think, or rather hope, that Ivy and Josh will not stay together. Josh is way too nice(well except for the whole Legacy thing), and Ivy is just so evil.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:32 AM EDT #

continued..... And Reed really needs Josh. I think Ivy is going to get kicked out of Easton (for murder or for some other reason). I also keep imagining Josh and Reed meeting up and "getting back together"; like everyone gets back to Billings and Reed just cant be there because everyone hates her so she goes outside and starts to walk and uncounsiously ends up right at the spot where she met Thomas and Josh, and then Josh shows up, and this whole ordeal happens and they realize they need each other and get back together.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:34 AM EDT #

continued..... Or maybe Reed gets really sad and like thinks that maybe if she goes to Thomas' grave she can figure it out(hey thats sort of what Callie does in The A-List); so she calls Thomas' brother (isn't his name Blake or something? I cant quiet remember) and finds out where the grave is; she goes there and Josh shows up, or maybe Thomas' brother calls Josh (because he is worried) and tells him that Reed is going to Thomas' grave and he realizes that he really cares and that she needs him so he shows up there.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:36 AM EDT #

continued.... Well anyway I can not wait for Revelation and Last Christmas!! I need to know what is going to happen (as you can see I already have a ton of possible ways the story could unfold in my head). I just finished reading the Gossip Girl Prequel and loved getting to know more in depth information on the characters, and can not wait to get to know more about the characters of Private.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:37 AM EDT #

ok final one...sorry for writing so much....I just love the books and have so many ideas of what might happen....I just....well you all know how much everyone wants to find out what will happen.... Does anyone know if there will be like a sneak peak of Revelation posted? Or if they will do another contest like before where they gave like 5 people the book before it actually came out? I really can not wait till September 16th to get the book. I've already planed to go during my Lunch/Free Period during school to go get the book from Barnes and Nobel.

Posted by Maddy on July 30, 2008 at 12:39 AM EDT #

i TOTALLY AGREE WITH cHRISTINE AND mADDY!!!

Posted by nIYA on July 30, 2008 at 11:29 PM EDT #

Oh yeah I just noticed that we never got to find out what that red scar on Noelle was about. In the first book that is all that Kate could talk about when referring to Noelle and we were left hanging. And, we don't really know Noelle's secrets yet. You know how everyone in Easton has something to hide??? Well, we know Josh's, Thomas' Ivy's Reeds'(of course), but we don't know Noelles yet. She is a very developed character and I think that maybe in Revelation we will find out. Oh yeah, and we don't know Dash's yet, not like I care. -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 30, 2008 at 11:47 PM EDT #

the end of ambition left me off my seat; WHERE WILL REED GO? i hope she and josh get back together... but, it she going back to billings? so may questions that need answers... I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL ALL THE BOOKS TO COME OUT!! -DEE

Posted by Dee on July 31, 2008 at 01:23 AM EDT #

ya i was thinking the same thing about Noelle's scar...anyone hav any ideas?

Posted by Maria #1 on July 31, 2008 at 08:31 AM EDT #

Dude, why isn't anyone commenting??? Go awn.

Posted by Niya on July 31, 2008 at 09:41 PM EDT #

Okay, so I was JUST reading about all of the characters on the main page and I think that I might have found something. Okay, so Kate Brian said that Kiki Rosen is very smart and it is the smart ones that we should be watching. She also states that we should keep a very close eye on her. She might want to get back at Reed because Kate said that Kiki was first in her class until Reed came along. I wonder what she did or is going to do. Kill Cheyenne maybe??? -Niya

Posted by Niya on July 31, 2008 at 10:04 PM EDT #

Hm...I don't know about Noelle's scar. Kiki Rosen...I don't think so. But maybe I'm wrong. Let me check it out. -Jacqueline P.S. Can't wait for Breaking Dawn

Posted by Jacqueline on July 31, 2008 at 11:31 PM EDT #

I don't think so either, but you never know.

Posted by Niya on August 01, 2008 at 02:02 PM EDT #

i totally agrree with that one girl that maybe josh and reed get back together at thomas's grave but w.e. as long as they get back together they have to! seriously need to! and i also think we need to learn more about noelle and her secrets esp. cause she knows everything about everyone 'most of the time' and also reed needs stop acting weird she was deff changing and starting to be snooty or thats what i think -erin

Posted by erin on August 01, 2008 at 03:24 PM EDT #

Erin wat r u? an angel or something? in my personal (and extremely important) oppinion Reed was sooo not acting snooty but i dont get y Reed isnt just going to Noelles file and Reading about her past and shit i mean then she could find out about that scar couldnt she?

Posted by Maria #1 on August 01, 2008 at 04:56 PM EDT #

Erin wat r u? an angel or something? in my personal (and extremely important) oppinion Reed was sooo not acting snooty but i dont get y Reed isnt just going to Noelles file and Reading about her past and stuff i mean then she could find out about that scar couldnt she?

Posted by Maria #1 on August 01, 2008 at 04:57 PM EDT #

haha i mean she was snooty the way she was treating josh. it wasnt till after that they broke up when she was more herself she was kinda mean when ditching him for noelle she should have put him first based on the way he treated her vs. noelle and i think she should read about noelle too p.s. whats your name & how do you pronounce chyeene ahaha -erin

Posted by erin on August 01, 2008 at 11:25 PM EDT #

Dude, what is up with the language and bad grammar?!?! Can't we all just mellow out and get along??? Yeah and by -A the last commenter, do you mean as in like that secret person on the pretty little liars series? Does that mean you are a girl? 'Cause you sounded like a dude. No offense. And Maria, just let it go. That happened to me before. -Niya

Posted by Niya on August 01, 2008 at 11:37 PM EDT #

does anyone think that she will let us read the next books first few chaps. like she did before?

Posted by Christy on August 02, 2008 at 12:22 AM EDT #

Ya she probbably will.... I'm actually like freaked out by this aggressive grl named u kno....? ya not liking her that much....anyways i am 15 if u wanna kno.....omg mayb i shouldnt hav told u that mayb ur like one of those rapests who like stalk teens on the comp....hehehehe p.s i hav a life go rape little girls -toodles<3

Posted by Maria #1 on August 02, 2008 at 07:36 PM EDT #

soooooooo... there really isn't anything else to blog about becauseI think we've already said it all, I'll just have to wait until the next book.

Posted by Niya on August 03, 2008 at 03:28 PM EDT #

Wait, I really DONT think Ivy killed Cheyenne. It can't be someone who we expect

Posted by Niya on August 03, 2008 at 03:43 PM EDT #

OMG!I'm in love with these series! My favorite character is Josh! I hate how everyone thinks he such a bad guy! He was only mean to Reed when she tried to talk to him, because she jsut cheated on him! Ya he cheated on her, put Cheyenne gave him a dape rape pill! It wasn't his fault! But it wasn't really Reed's fault for cheating on him because when your drunk like Reed was, you loose your sense of judgement! They need to get back together! I'm like suffering with them being apart!! anyways, I totally agree with Maddy, about the whole Reed going to Thomas's grave! And then Josh being there too! I would like cry! lol! And about the whole Pardise Lost, is it really a 9th private book? Or just a book for younger readers? I hope it's just some mistake or something, but whatevs. Josh and Ivy need to break up, it's like him dating Ariana or someone like that, Ivy killed Cheyenne. Or that's atleast what Reed thinks. Maybe she'll try to warn him but he doesn't listen. Then maybe Ivy is finally arrested for killing cheyenne and Josh has to go thanks Reed. And they get back together! idk but the worst thing that could possibly happen, is like it's the end of the year, Josh is graduating and he finally talks to Reed. And they agree on staying friends. That would be HORRIBLE!!! I would abosultly die!!!!! I wish that the private series didn't end at Revelation! I hope it goes on forever!!! :) -Lauren

Posted by Lauren on August 03, 2008 at 04:57 PM EDT #

I love these books! They are like the best ever! And I totally agree with Maddy about Josh and Reed going to Thomas' grave and then getting back together! That would be great! Or maybe Reed will warn Josh about Ivy being a murder, and then when she is finally arrested, Josh will thank Reed and then they will realize they need each other!!! But the worst thing that could happen in that, Josh is graduating and Reed goes up to talk to him. Then they agree that they should be friends, and only that.I would just absolutely die!!! I love them together!!

Posted by Lauren on August 03, 2008 at 05:02 PM EDT #

First off, and I don't mean to be rude, but, all the drama is stupid. It's not worth it. Its the internet. If you want to get worked up, get worked up about the book, not each other. I would like to find out more about Noelle's scar too. I know I posted all of those possible outcomes before, but once I got to thinking, and saw the description of Revelation, I realized that Kate Brian loves to blindside her readers. I think she is going to do something that no one will see coming. I think that she knows what her readers want to happen and will write something opposite. If anyone finds any sort of "first look" on Revelation please post where to find it!

Posted by Maddy on August 03, 2008 at 10:01 PM EDT #

I just finished reading, "Legacy" and I'm starting ambition in just a few minutes. I've read these books they whole summer while not on the runway. It's such a coinsedense that my name is Kiran too and I model too!! Wierd huhh? haha. After the prequel does that mean the private series will be done and privellige will start? please answer my question!!!!

Posted by Kiran (seriously that's my name) on August 04, 2008 at 04:27 PM EDT #

I just love Josh and Reed together in the book! But reed was really drunk when she cheated on him with dash and he was like high when he cheated on her with Cheyenne so its like hte same thing and they should get back together!! Maybe noelle should break up with dash and start having like a thing for josh when reeds not with him and likes a new guy or something becuase Josh always hated her. Also i really would want to hear about noelles scar more!!!!

I cannnnnottttt! wait until REVELATIONS! comes out!!! I started reading the books in like febrary and was already finished in like 3 weeks... I neeed! revelations!! Must find out what happens to reed! Please tell me that her and josh get back together! Please!! =) I love josh!

Posted by Dalia on August 05, 2008 at 10:33 AM EDT #

Please tell me that Reed and Josh get back together because I love them as a couple and they make reading your books worth it. I will like die if they don;t get back together so please save my life and tell me they get back together!!!

Posted by Breanne on August 05, 2008 at 01:54 PM EDT #

HAHAHA.... I was like the first one here to admit that I Loved Josh and now everyone here is agreeing. HA!

Posted by Niya on August 05, 2008 at 03:41 PM EDT #

I would definitely cry tears of joy is Reed and Josh got back together. But, like I said Ivy did not kill Cheyenne. Kate wouldn't make it that obvious. like seriously come on people. It's gonna be someone who we don't expect, trust me on this. Hmmmm.. maybe it's gonna be Noelle or Dash. When they found out Cheyenne died, they were like, everything happens for a reason. Dash sent it in an email and Noelle said it to Reeds face. Now guys, isn't that a little suspicious???

Posted by Niya on August 05, 2008 at 03:50 PM EDT #

I still think its Ivy. p.s Maddy, i THRIVE on drama LYLAS<3

Posted by Maria #1 on August 05, 2008 at 05:11 PM EDT #

Hm...Niya you got a point. Like at the end of AMBITION, Reed thought that Josh might still be in the burning building and something might have happened to him. But he was fine. (My friends and I were stressing wheather he was okay or not). So, Kate Brian could just be saying that. But I can't think of anybody who would do that to Cheyanne than Ivy. Even if Ivy didn't kill her, she and Josh should break up. I guess Ivy has a reason to be mad because of her grandma but she shouldn't take it this overboard(if she did kill Cheyanne). -jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on August 05, 2008 at 05:42 PM EDT #

Does anyone think its Dash or Noelle or both. Its weird that they both told Reed that everything happens for a reason. And we really don't pay attention to those small details. Those are the ones that authors jump on or put there for a reason.

Posted by Niya on August 05, 2008 at 05:54 PM EDT #

Oh yeah and there was a burning building in the end of Ambition?!?!

Posted by Niya on August 05, 2008 at 05:56 PM EDT #

ya i didnt kno there was a flaming building in the end...i never read that part. But Niya what if Noelle and Dash wer just so close that they say the same things sometimes or hav the same motto? ugh i still cant get over that "you know" girl......she was sooo freaky y cant she grow a back bone and tell me her name?

Posted by Maria #1 on August 05, 2008 at 07:10 PM EDT #

Yeah, probably. What if shes watching right now, and what if shes a he??? HA!

Posted by Niya on August 05, 2008 at 07:53 PM EDT #

OMG! reed and josh have to get back together ill cry if they dont :( did u say that there was a flaming bulidling in ambition i thought that was in the end of legacy when growlding or however u spell it burnt down but i read all of ambition in like 1 and a half hours and never read about a burning bulidling?

Posted by Alli on August 06, 2008 at 09:49 AM EDT #

Agreed!

Posted by Niya on August 06, 2008 at 11:49 AM EDT #

I can't wait for Revelation!! Ambition was so intresting. I hope Ivy and Josh break up and Reed and him get back together. I wonder what Ivy going to do to Josh? Niya your totally right how could Reed ask him that. I hope that Kate writes more private books they are really great!! I' m so excited to see what's coming.

Posted by Jeancy on August 06, 2008 at 04:55 PM EDT #

Posted by Alli on August 07, 2008 at 10:58 AM EDT #

omg if josh and reed dont get back together i dont know what i will do!! they were the best couple!!! and i like that josh has flaws and isnt perfect. he is my favorite charecter!!! and why ivy? like did josh date her just to make reed jelous? but like i dont think tht ivy killed cheyenne. ad what will happen when josh graduates, will he still be in the books like dash. (who by the way i cant stand!) like he knew what he was doing when he and reed hooked up. and was it before he got back together w/ noelle or after???

Posted by mary on August 07, 2008 at 12:32 PM EDT #

ppl r saying how badly josh was treating reed about billings, and how he was being dramatic and a jerk to reed about it. but i can see where he is coming from b/c the billings girls but him in jail, and ariana killed his best friend and room mate. so wooldnt you be a little bitter about tht to? so lay of josh. but anyways, do you think tht noelle was ever reeds true friend? i am not sure

Posted by mary on August 07, 2008 at 12:43 PM EDT #

also i think tht josh deserves better than ivy. if he isnt gunna b w/ reed, then he shoold at least b w/ some1 tht is good enough for him

Posted by mary on August 07, 2008 at 12:49 PM EDT #

no no no josh cant be w/ anyone but reed ill sob if they dont get back together i cried when the police took josh away i crid when reed saw josh in jail i cried when he had a seizure and was talking to reed i cried tears of joy when he was talking to her after they took chyanne away in the ambulance i cried when josh found them at the legacy and i cried when reed tried to apoligize to josh and ill cry soo hard if they dont get back 2getther iknw im emotional :(

Posted by Alli on August 07, 2008 at 01:18 PM EDT #

Hey i know im buttin in this conversation, but i agree with mary on the josh thing! i do tho believe that noelle was reeds friend because of the things shes done for her. yeah so was mean and rude but thats just noelle thats her character. remember how she treated kiran, taylor etc. she was still friends with them but noelle is just noelle! anyways going back to josh i think he just need time, i wish his time would hurry up but he's heart broken at the moment so yeah w/b ~Katelyn~

Posted by Katelyn on August 07, 2008 at 01:36 PM EDT #

agreed i cant wait i soooooooooo hope reed and josh get back together they have to get back togethter and reed and noelle should be friends again but i want reed and josh should be togetther the most

Posted by Alli on August 07, 2008 at 03:38 PM EDT #

Katelyn, I totally agree with you. -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on August 07, 2008 at 04:17 PM EDT #

I think that the front page with all of the character's info will be very important. Like the comment that Portia's dad didn't get all the millions from working and in Ambition one guy said he knew Portia from this poor thing or whatnot. I can't wait for everything to reveal itself. Also, I don't think that Dash has anything to do with the whole Cheyenne thing because his secret is that he loved/s Reed. He doesn't seem like a very in depth guy with a lotta secrets. <3

Posted by Carolyn on August 07, 2008 at 08:45 PM EDT #

MARY, I couldn't agree with u more. I hate, hate, hate, dash. I fell in love with Josh. Weird, huh? Anyways, I don't know why josh is with IVY. CANT STAND HER!!!!!!! And, I cried when they broke up. I cursed out loud at Reed when she cheated on him. AAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDD, I DEFINETELY will cry if they stay apart.

Posted by Niya on August 07, 2008 at 08:58 PM EDT #

i know! seriously if josh doent come back to his sences and get back w/ reed, tthen i like seriously will stop reading these books...lol. no, but like i can understand how he is still mad at her, but if he really loved her, he would come back to her. he probable just needs some time to think about it. but about them breaking up, i was like crying. nd the saddest part was tht josh came up too apologize to reed! how woold u feel if u felt bad about what you said to some 1 and u went to apologize to them nd they were hooking up w/ ur best friend!!!!

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 09:35 AM EDT #

nd i forget who, but some1 said tht it was probable dash or noelle tht killed cheyanne b.c they were both like, everything happens 4 a reason. but then again, noelle was reading dash's e-mails so thts prob why she said it to reed, but i am still suspiciousof y they woold take it so lightly. but noelle was enemys w/ cheyanne.

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 09:42 AM EDT #

allie, bout the reed and noelle thing and them being friends again. i dont think tht noelle will just forget about the whole dash and reed thing to easily. i think tht she will be really mad about it for a while. as much as i want them to be best friends again, i dont think it will happen in the near future. but speaking of being good friends, i wonder if constance and marc will still be mad at reed about the legacy thing. tht really surprised me when they just kinda turned on her.

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 09:49 AM EDT #

does any1 know if revelation is gunna b the last book? or is there more books after. god i hope there are

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 10:06 AM EDT #

Yes Revelations will be the last in the Private series but then there will be last christmas and privilage to look forward to YAY!

Posted by Molly on August 08, 2008 at 11:26 AM EDT #

NO WAY!!!! revelation is the last book!!!! Great, now im gonna cry all over again. why is everyone doing this???? Just like the clique series. FREAK.

Posted by Niya on August 08, 2008 at 12:11 PM EDT #

No reavlations is not the last book! The next books is called Paradise Lost you can find it on the publisher webiste simonsays.com. According to Kate we will have at least 15 books. So no need to worry, we will get a lot more Reed.

Posted by Amber on August 08, 2008 at 12:56 PM EDT #

omg! yay!!! more books!!! i was like panicking! but wow, 15! thts alot! but of course i am not saying tht in a bad way. lol

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 03:50 PM EDT #

ok, so i was like thinking of my favorite parts of the books, and i have to say tht probably 1 of my favorite part of the series was when josh didnt take his pills and it was rite before he got arrested and he was like yelling and then all nice. idk y but i loved tht part. i really love any part w/ josh tho. lol....this was kinda random but

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 03:59 PM EDT #

so, kate mite b from NJ like some of u, but i live like 10 minutes away from easton. so ha! it really nice!...again really random like the last 1, but

Posted by mary on August 08, 2008 at 04:07 PM EDT #

Wait is easton a real place or not?

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 04:45 PM EDT #

i dont think so but yay! more private books!!!

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 05:23 PM EDT #

by that i mean i dont think that easton is a real place

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 05:32 PM EDT #

Really theres going to be more private book?!?!(yes!) I can't wait! Wow 15? thats long..not in a bad way but thats awesome!! I really hope reed and josh get back together if they don't ill cry like everyone else! I just thought of something...i'm not sure if I'm right but...didn't reed say in the legacy that someone probably put sumthing in that pink drink she had? I'm not sure if I'm right this is out of my head...! Anyway...I hope there really is 15 books to this series!!

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 05:40 PM EDT #

omg! i just thought of someting do u think ivy would be so desprate to hurt reed that she kills josh. god i hope not btw if u go to the site and www.simionsays.com it says that reed is kicked out of billings still dosent hvae her boyfriend and ppl think that she killed chyanne and also that reed will do w/e it takes to get her life back and find the real killer

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 05:57 PM EDT #

Yeah i just went on that! I wasnt surprised to read that reed was kicked out of billings. Yeah whoever messed with nolloe's boyfriend gets kicked out!! How can ppl be so thick? why would she kill chyanne, i know they had their dissagreement, but comon! but w/e i just hope that there will be like this awesome twist!

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 06:08 PM EDT #

no reed didnt really kill chyanne

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 06:14 PM EDT #

I know that! But in the book, like they were saying, reed killed chyanne. Ppl in easton are very thick. if you get me.. I wondering if some ppl will stick with reed, but act like they hate her in front to nolloe? I just thought of something else...remember when taylor im reed...we really never got to the bottom of that. What really happened to Taylor? If Kate did get to the bottom of that then, i must of missed it.

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 06:21 PM EDT #

no kate didnt but she should and i really want reed and josh to get back together

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 06:25 PM EDT #

everyone on this earth wants them to get back together. But if josh stays with ivy..even if she is not the killer. Josh got to get his head together and see that ivy is not the one! I know that Josh still has feelings for reed!! When she was flirting with boys, you can see josh's face with anger.

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

i knw i wnat them to get back sooo much i knw that josh still has fellings for reed and we all knw that reed has fellings for josh

Posted by Alli on August 08, 2008 at 06:42 PM EDT #

Of course she does! why else would she want to find the killer, other than to clear her name! God the book needs to come out! its making me anxious!!! i have a question is privilege part of the Private series? is it from ariana point of view when reed came to easton?

Posted by Ally on August 08, 2008 at 06:53 PM EDT #

15 books? I read on alloyentertainment.com that it was going to be an 11 book series. ALLY, I'm pretty sure taht PRIVILEGE is Ariana's point of view before Reed came ot Easton. It's Ariana's junior year. That mean we get to read about Thomas probably. Of course everyone wants Josh and Reed to get back together. MARY, my friends and I like the part when Thomas gave Reed the bus token thing and when Thomas and Reed danced and said,"Tell me your naughty thoughts." LOL -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on August 08, 2008 at 08:16 PM EDT #

Oh my gosh, I absolutely can't wait until the next book! I wish it was already out! I hope Reed and Josh end up togther. Ivy bugs me so much and she doesn't deserve Josh...

Posted by Adriana on August 08, 2008 at 09:18 PM EDT #

Privlege is a series about what would happend if Ariana escpaded. You get that from the inside of Ambition or Legacy. The only one set from Arianan junior year is last christmas. Someone I know emailed Kate and that is where the 15 books come from. I think we will get more than 11 because why would Kate only a 2 book arc that would be a lot to cover in 2 books. I believe that if the books keep doing so well Kate will keep writing them.

Posted by Amber on August 08, 2008 at 09:25 PM EDT #

OMG, Yeah Josh was angry when Reed was flirting with that guy. Whats his name. She was typing her number in his phone. Josh like ran off and left Ivy. I LOOOVED that part. OMG:)

Posted by Niya on August 08, 2008 at 09:46 PM EDT #

NO, that site hasss to be wrong. They are going to get back together. My heart is hurting at the thought of them being apart. NOOOOOO. Well anyways I have to go now. Its time to get my daily fix of the JoBro's. HAHAHA.

Posted by Niya on August 08, 2008 at 09:49 PM EDT #

AMBER, yea my mistake. I was mixed up with LAST CHRISTMAS. -Jacqueline

Posted by Jacqueline on August 08, 2008 at 10:35 PM EDT #

No worries Jacqueline, with all the books Kate has coming out this fall, they are starting to all get mixed toge
