Wow kate actually read all 300 sum comments!! Yeah First comment!! whooo! lol

Posted by Ambika on August 19, 2008 at 05:56 PM EDT #

I'm so glad Kate Brian posted a new blog! I'm surprised she read most of our comments. Oh AMBIKA, you beat me. I guess I have to be the 2nd comment. LOL

Posted by Jacqueline on August 19, 2008 at 06:12 PM EDT #

im the 3rd lol!!!!! anyways i hope she puts that sneak peek up soon. anyways omg even i didnt read all those comments lol....o0o and does anyone else think josh and reed need to get back together and then that dash get jealous and shows his true colors and noelle then hates him and forgives reed?

Posted by Katelyn on August 19, 2008 at 06:19 PM EDT #

Yea, that YOU KNOW person was creepy, but, I read the Revelation sneak peek and it is AWESOME! Noelle was really P'd! WOW! She creeped me out, but I was surprised how Reed handled herself. I was like, "YOU GO GIRL!" But it was wierd how Noelle wasn't fazed by Reed's confidence. Well, actually, you could tell that she was about to cry when she turned her head and blinked. It is not Reeds fault though. Noelle and Dash broke up! But if Reed were in Noelles situation she'd probably act the same way. Probably wouldn't even talk to the girl!

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 06:23 PM EDT #

true and noelle did almost cry because she said and i quote "i cant believe i thought you were like a sister." or somewhere along those lines. anyways spill about what happens in the 2 chapters someone!!!!! im dyin over here plus in in tropical storm fay so im bored to tears. please someone tell me wat happens in revalation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Katelyn~

Posted by Katelyn on August 19, 2008 at 06:32 PM EDT #

YOU HAVE TO READ IT! It won't be the same if someone explains it.

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 06:33 PM EDT #

Posted by Katelyn on August 19, 2008 at 06:37 PM EDT #

BTW who is the "you know" person anyways niya?

Posted by Katelyn on August 19, 2008 at 06:38 PM EDT #

OMG! I just read the two chapter on Kate's myspace. It's so...emotional! Ah! I'm speechless! I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it yet! Ah! I'm speechless!

Posted by Jacqueline on August 19, 2008 at 06:46 PM EDT #

omg this is torturing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Katelyn on August 19, 2008 at 06:49 PM EDT #

AH! I just read the summary for LAST CHRISTMAS!!!!!!! .........Wow! I can't wait to read more about Thomas! I really really like him.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 19, 2008 at 06:49 PM EDT #

Hey Kate, I love your books. They are amazing. I was wondering when does the next book, relevation, come out. I know its in september but i was wondering the exact date. :D

Posted by Jessica Galbraith on August 19, 2008 at 08:13 PM EDT #

Okay

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 08:19 PM EDT #

You know, Is a person who threatened Maria, SCARY! It honestly would have to be a 10, you'd love it.

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 08:22 PM EDT #

I am VERY late on this, but I just figured out that Tiffany and Natasha are diffrent people!!! I always thought they were the same person!

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 08:50 PM EDT #

Niya, its ok! everyone has a slow moment!! I just had one... i really wanna talk about the two chapters, but i hate to be the spoiler for Kateyln, or for anyone else that has not read it! Yeah Katyln i would have to agree with Niya it is a 10! Srry, but dnt worry the chapters will come out very soon! And look at the bight side (yes there is a bight side) we know from Kate (herself) that there will be more private books coming out! Thank you kate, we know that you won't stop until they threaten you to stop!

Posted by Ambika on August 19, 2008 at 09:44 PM EDT #

I just read the first 2 chapters and I'm shocked that the school would except Noelle's money the school could get into a lot of trouble if anyone found out.

Posted by katie on August 19, 2008 at 09:44 PM EDT #

I'm confused at that part..did noelle give her 5 million dollars..or was that the money reed made? i'm lost!

Posted by Ambika on August 19, 2008 at 09:58 PM EDT #

reed made 5 million dollars and then noelle gave the headmaster 5 million to make up for it.

Posted by katie on August 19, 2008 at 10:16 PM EDT #

YAY!!!!

Posted by Morgan on August 19, 2008 at 10:16 PM EDT #

OKAY, I dont get that.

Posted by Niya on August 19, 2008 at 10:39 PM EDT #

yeah niether do i! Just answer this..did noelle give crom 5 million $ from her own pocket?

Posted by Ambika on August 19, 2008 at 10:50 PM EDT #

Noelle gave him the money from the fundrasier, but somehow she got him to give her all the power back to do whatever she wants to do in Billings! They are no longer being run by the Crom, so we will see where that goes, I think that we have not heard the last of the power trip. We do not know if she gave him extra money or not, but I would bet she did.

Posted by Amber on August 19, 2008 at 11:01 PM EDT #

yah so noelle gave him the money from the fundraiser. but didnt he know that it was reed that raised it and not noelle? like i dont know how she could have passed it of as money she raised. o and NIYA-ur rite about reed!! i was like so shocked by the way reed handled her self......o yah and 24th post...yah baby!!!! lol. mary =]

Posted by mary on August 20, 2008 at 08:06 AM EDT #

Wow Noelle was so mean in Revelation! I can't believe she treated reed like that! I like... don't like her now! Reed handled herself really well though. I feel so bad for her though, but I think things will turn out okay for her in the end. Can't wait 2 read the rest of the book!

Posted by Sarah on August 20, 2008 at 08:32 AM EDT #

YAY! New post! lol! The first two chapters of Revelation that are on kate's myspace, they where amazing! There where parts that even made me want to cry! But I agree that Reed handled herself really well. I don't think I would have the guts to break that CD or take the bag! That's why i like reed so much! She's smart and won't let Noelle Lange ruin her life. Reed's going to find a way to get everyone back to her-- cough cough Josh cough-- and all she has to do is figure out who killed cheyenne?! How would she do that!?

Posted by Lauren on August 20, 2008 at 10:38 AM EDT #

I think that even if she does find out who killed cheyenne..maybe people wouldn't go back to her. Because they will still know she adn Dash hooked up. So like Noelle said," We don't want a BackStabber," So, people could still think she is one. probably some will be her friends again, but will probably not.

Posted by Ambika on August 20, 2008 at 11:25 AM EDT #

Well at least she has Sabine Constance and that english girl(whats her name?) on her side.

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 11:38 AM EDT #

Oh yeah Astrid.

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 11:40 AM EDT #

Yeah, well that is true! they are the only ones that are brave enough to vote aganist noelle.

Posted by Ambika on August 20, 2008 at 11:51 AM EDT #

I wonder whats up with dash and josh

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 11:58 AM EDT #

Wait, does anyone think that Amberly Carmicheal (or whatever) killed Cheyenne (pronounced Shy-anne). It said that she'll do anything(in italics) to get into Billings. If you remember, she is the one who gave Reed the pass card thing for free coffee at her fathers coffee shop for the rest of her life. But, I don't think she killed Cheyenne. Oh yeah, and where is EASTON located, New England or Connecticut, im confused.

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 12:26 PM EDT #

easton is in CT which is in new england. new england is the region. oh yah NIYA- i wonder how dash and josh are . like is josh as mad at dash as he is to reed? o yah and Amberly is a good guese, but i dont think that she was in the story that nuch to play such a big part like that. and was cheyanne alive when amberly was there? i think she died before she came...but idk.......mary

Posted by Mary on August 20, 2008 at 12:43 PM EDT #

yay! more private novles ! cant wait for the sneek peak ofrevelation !ps josh and red have to get back togethter

Posted by alli on August 20, 2008 at 01:56 PM EDT #

ijust read thr preview on katies myspace i almost cried ugh i hope the priview for here is more than 2 chapters

Posted by Alli on August 20, 2008 at 02:30 PM EDT #

Hey! When I was reading the chapters I thought that Reed would get a different CD (to fake it as the REAL CD) and break that so she has the real one. But guess not. LOL I forgot, which one of you reads THE CLIQUE SERIES??

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 02:47 PM EDT #

okay i think I'm gonna stop doing the number 1 thing cuz that other Maria isn't here anymore...plus it uses unnecessary finger muscle haha anyways i got soo freaked out after reading the 2 chapters that i even started writing wat i think is gonna happen next....i can wait for september to come!!!!!

Posted by Maria on August 20, 2008 at 02:53 PM EDT #

ALLI, the sneak peek is on myspace on kates page

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 03:05 PM EDT #

oh, forget it.

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 03:22 PM EDT #

Haha Maria. I freaked out too.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 03:55 PM EDT #

Did you read the summary to LAST CHRISTMAS?? My gosh! It's getting me really excited!...Thomas! And it says it's going to be a hardcover but who knows.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 04:06 PM EDT #

OMG I LOOOVVEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by xoxoxoxo on August 20, 2008 at 06:10 PM EDT #

Yeah Amberly could of done it...but you never know the people who don't seem to have a big role in the series could have a role at the end. You really have to think...it could be someone with a small role.

Posted by Ambika on August 20, 2008 at 06:55 PM EDT #

I think that Rose may have done it, since she use to be Cheyanne's roommate and she also knew where everything that Reed kept finding was kept in Billing house. Also Amberly could have also, she did seem to know all about Reed before meeting here ie the coffee card, and also she does know Noelle. So Noelle may have been involved from New York and actually had Amberly do it for her.

Posted by Amber on August 20, 2008 at 07:07 PM EDT #

I think, well kinda know, that Josh is mad at Dash. They haven't spoken since when? Well, actually we don't know if they have had any conversations since the Legacy. If they did, I wonder what went down. Did Josh curse Dash out?(NAAAAHHH) Did Dash apologize? I guess we would just have to find out later.

Posted by Niya on August 20, 2008 at 07:09 PM EDT #

I would love to know if Dash and Josh have talked but at this point we do not know anything about what has happened between them. Why is it that Dash seems to be getting off free and clear, with what seem like Josh and well we know from the preview that Noelle has taken him back.

Posted by Amber on August 20, 2008 at 07:17 PM EDT #

I wondering, did reed see dash's face when she ran out to find josh? As we all know this is 50% of dash's fault, he should have common sense. Reed is Josh's girlfriend. but he still went for her. vice versa for reed.(Just change girlfriend into bestfriend)I swear this is killing me! I need to read the book, or at least let kate put up more chapters on her page. either way works for me!

Posted by Ambika on August 20, 2008 at 07:20 PM EDT #

I really want to know more about Dash's and Josh's relationship after everythig went down. I wonder who Josh talks to now, Gage?

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 07:32 PM EDT #

I think that its crazy that Josh is with IVY!!! And I cant get it through my head why Ivy has this awful grudge against Billings. And I cant believe even Constance didnt give Reed a chance to explain herself at the fund raiser. And will Sabine be mad also?? And I REALLY want to know what Dash's email to Reed said... I need another boook!!!

Posted by Lacey on August 20, 2008 at 07:56 PM EDT #

LACEY, the first two chapters of REVELATION is on Kate's myspace page. But she also said she would post it up on here soon. I feel the same way you do LACEY. Now that you bring up the Dash's email to Reed, I wonder what it said too! You should also check at simonsays.com to read the summary for LAST CHRISTMAS. It's amazing!

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 09:08 PM EDT #

OMG i know i am a little slow on this, but the summary for last Christmas is so good!!!!! i cant wait!!!! like when Arianna explained that she and Thomas were secret lovers, that threw me for a loop!!!! i was so surprised!!! i wonder who her other boyfriend was. hmmmm. o and i wonder who is the person that is watching them???? Noelle? Ivy?

Posted by mary on August 20, 2008 at 09:24 PM EDT #

you should update this site cuz ambition already cam out and then in a few days revelation is comin out

Posted by #1 on August 20, 2008 at 09:30 PM EDT #

hmmmm my guess is noelle because i dnt know she likes to know EVERYTHING that goes on in her school i love the summmary and i am going to enjoy comparing it to what reed and thomas had because i want to see if its the same and if it is then thomas was a player an if it wasnt that raises MORE questions

Posted by doreen on August 20, 2008 at 09:33 PM EDT #

ok, so Q. so in the first book thomas is a senior. and josh is only a junior. y would they room them together?

Posted by mary on August 20, 2008 at 09:46 PM EDT #

Mary, i'm not sure, but you know that both of them were bestfriends. So i'm guessing that they asked to room together, cuz if it werent for thomas, josh would never be at easton. As for the summary for last christmas, i'm confused. when its taking place was before reed came right. Cuz she came in grade 10...Or is it taking place during when reed came. I'm sorry. I'm just hopefully lost.

Posted by Ambika on August 20, 2008 at 11:00 PM EDT #

AMBIKIA, I believe it takes place when Thomas and Arianna are in their junior year, a year before Reed comes. I'm really excited to read more about Thomas's personality because what we did get to read about him, was mostly when Thomas and Reed were making out. LOL I would like to read Thomas really really caring and nice. But also in the description it said, bad boy Thomas Pearson. Ah! Just writing this is getting me anxious. And it said, "and the shocking truth will change everything for fans of Kate Brian's bestselling series". And the summary kind of makes me assume that Arianna is actually...nice. It would be crazy that after we read LAST CHRISTMAS, we would like Arianna and hate Thomas. :( I hope not, I like Thomas(I've said that so many times already, LOL)

Posted by Jacqueline on August 20, 2008 at 11:16 PM EDT #

Jacqueline- You are correct Last Christmas takes place the year before Reed arrived. So Ivy will there she will also be going threw all of the billings nightmares. ie her grandma I think that will come up

Posted by Amber on August 20, 2008 at 11:35 PM EDT #

doreen- They could just go that way, as long as their in the same dorm i think that's what most boarding schools do that!! And Natasha and Reed where roommates. Natasha was a senior and Reed was a sophomore!! lol. So she could get into Billings even if she wasn't in the right grade? All b/c Ariana wanted to kill her!?

Posted by Lauren on August 21, 2008 at 09:13 AM EDT #

Kate you are such a great writer I have only read the private novels but I bet the rest of your books are good. I heard you have another series coming out in december? What is it about?:)

Posted by chelsea on August 21, 2008 at 11:12 AM EDT #

I really want to read more into what happens with the Ivy grandmother sitch. And, I wonder if Josh will appear in Last Christmas. Maybe he was diffrent then.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 01:36 PM EDT #

And maybe Ariana was going out with Dash and NOELLE was the one watching. If you guys are right about Ariana and Thomas being Juniors, Noelle was one also. Noelle and Dash only went out for 2 YEARS on and off. Maybe those two years were their Junior and Senior years, you know, maybe after Ariana broke up with Dash to go out with Thomas. Since Thomas promised to declare their love, well, before Reed came along.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 01:43 PM EDT #

Was that clear? No, it wasn't, was it? All well(sigh).

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 01:49 PM EDT #

I do not think that Josh will be last christmas do the fact that he went to school at a different private school than. He should be going through all of his dead roommate things. Maybe we will hear Thomas talking about it, but that would be the only way he would get into the book.

Posted by Amber on August 21, 2008 at 01:52 PM EDT #

OHHHH YEAH, forgot that.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 02:19 PM EDT #

Thanks Jacqueline! Srry you guys i'm a bit slow sometimes!! I really wanna know more about Privilge! the story from Ariana view!

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 02:45 PM EDT #

Yea, Josh wasn't there for LAST CHRISTMAS. He was still at another school. Priviledge is a total different series in Arianna's point of view right?

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 03:07 PM EDT #

I think...or is it how she is doing right now. Because in one of the books it said "What will happen if Ariana Osgood comes back." or somewhere along thoes lines. I think its what she is doing...

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 03:27 PM EDT #

heyy, i got a huugggeee question! i finished reading the legacy and i saw in the advritisments that said "what if ariana Osgood escaped?" "what if shere-entered the world she belongs?' the world of wealth,secrets,and... PRIVLEGE "would anyone b safe?" find out fall 2008 A new series from author of the bestselling private series .....does that mean she coming out w/ a new series in fall???

Posted by #1 fan on August 21, 2008 at 03:41 PM EDT #

Hm..I don't know. I hope Kate Brian clears that up a bit on her next blog.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 04:01 PM EDT #

Yes there will be a new Series call Privledge, which is Arianna point of view in present time after she was send away for Thomas. The first book comes out on December 31st. Does this help?

Posted by Amber on August 21, 2008 at 04:27 PM EDT #

Wow. Cool. CANT WAIT!!! BUT THE REASON I THINK THAT IVY DIDNT KILL CHEYENNE IS BECAUSE KATE WOULDNT MAKE IT SO OBVIOUS. THIS IS JUST LIKE WHEN THOMAS WAS MURDERED. WE HAD NOOOOO IDEA IT WAS ARIANA. TAYLOR MAYBE, BUT NEVER ARIANA.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 04:45 PM EDT #

I don't think this is right, but, what if Sabine did it? Cheyenne did embarrass her that day with the whole Gage situation. Maybe there is something we don't know about Sabine that would lead her to kill Cheyenne. I'm just trying to figure out who did it. The wait is AGONIZING!!!

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 04:52 PM EDT #

NIYA, you do have a point!! My gosh, what if it isn't Ivy?!! *Gasp*

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 05:19 PM EDT #

sabine might have done it like remeber when they said that Ariana was sweet and what not well soo is sabine but i am positive ivy planted all the chyennes things because well she wants to mess with reed or it could have been chyenne herself who know but i cant wait to find out

Posted by doreen on August 21, 2008 at 05:21 PM EDT #

ya i agree .....btw, kate needs 2 update this site cause ambition came out and tshe doesnt have the ambition wallpaper1!!

Posted by #1fan on August 21, 2008 at 05:21 PM EDT #

i cant wait till the nxt book comes out

Posted by #1fan on August 21, 2008 at 05:24 PM EDT #

yah as much as it makes sence that ivy would want to kill cheyanne, kate deffinatally wouldnt make it that obvious. but y do u think that ivy would want reed to belive that she did it? hmmmm......o and i also re-read private again today just b/c, and i have to say that i really like thomas now! but i still like josh better

Posted by Mary on August 21, 2008 at 05:27 PM EDT #

Yeah Doreen, I believe that Ivy did plant the stuff and that she wants to make Reed think that she killed Cheyenne to scare her.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 06:32 PM EDT #

MARY, Yay! I really like Thomas too. But also Josh. I like both of them. LOL. But Thomas' and Reed's relationship wouldn't have been as healthy. Maybe, we're overthinking this LOL. I don't know what to think about the Cheyanne being murdered.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 07:41 PM EDT #

I am so excited for the books 2 come out but I wonder if or when reeds going to be bak on top?

Posted by katie on August 21, 2008 at 08:20 PM EDT #

i actually like Thomas waaay better than Josh. I just thought that Josh took the cheating like waaay too personally and he shouldnt have been THAT angry.

Posted by Maria on August 21, 2008 at 08:23 PM EDT #

I cannot believe she read all those comments! Haha. I like Thomas too! But I always felt that Reed deserved better! I agree Jacqueline, thier relationship was not healthy at all! Josh was such a cute boyfriend! He was soo sweet! I hope they get back together.

Posted by Amy! on August 21, 2008 at 08:23 PM EDT #

Oh my gosh! I read the first two chapters of Revalation! They were absolutly amazing! I cannot wait! Ah. This is killing me! You can find it on her blog on Myspace!

Posted by Amy! on August 21, 2008 at 08:25 PM EDT #

i think that if reed had cheated on thomas then he would have proberbly cheated on her on pupose with someone i think ariana but i guess we will never find out josh is a sensitive guy but thomas isnt

Posted by doreen on August 21, 2008 at 08:33 PM EDT #

what is her myspace and how do you get there to read it?

Posted by kat on August 21, 2008 at 08:34 PM EDT #

Like, seriously, if your boyfriend cheated on you would you take it personally? YEAHHHH!!!! You'd break up with him... well I sure would. And Josh is not emotionally stable, we all know that. He has to take pills to be normal. Something like her cheating on him, especially since she was the love of his life, would have a HUGE impact on him. Especially with everything going on in his life.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 08:59 PM EDT #

And KAT, I found her myspace by going on yahoo and typing in KATE BRIAN MYSPACE, it was easier and im not allowed on myspace.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 09:01 PM EDT #

yahh like wasn't thomas cheating on reed anyways? w/ arriana......o yah and i am really surprised that kate read all the comments too! u go girl! lol. o and NIYA- i totally agree w/ u about josh and the cheating thing! like he was in love w/ her and she broke his heart. but he has to follow his heart and not his head w/ he wants to be w/ reed, but he cant get over the fact that she cheated on him.

Posted by Mary on August 21, 2008 at 09:25 PM EDT #

Yeah I never thought of it that way MARY, Thomas was cheating on Reed since he was w/ Ariana. OHHHH...

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 09:43 PM EDT #

I was so surprised when I found out Arianna had a relationship with Thomas! I would have thought that she would have had better taste. However, he did seem to become a sweet guy in the end! But lying to Reed about telling his parents about her was mean! I cannot believe Arianna killed the love of her life!

Posted by Amy! on August 21, 2008 at 10:21 PM EDT #

WAIT! Who do you think LAST CHRISTMAS will written in the point of view from? Not Reed shes not there. So WHO?

Posted by Amy! on August 21, 2008 at 10:23 PM EDT #

Ariana.

Posted by Niya on August 21, 2008 at 10:39 PM EDT #

AMY!, LAST CHRISTMAS is in Arianna's point of view. MARY AND NIYA, I thought that when Thomas was with Reed he stopped hanging out with Arianna like that. And when we found out Arianna killed Thomas, she started saying that Thomas didn't like her and stuff...And on this website where it says the summary for a person: For Thomas is said something like he had a good heart even though he was a bad boy. (I hate writing in past tense for Thomas. LOL)

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 10:50 PM EDT #

You guys have a point, with thomas and reeds relationship. I thought reed wouldn't go back to Thomas after she found he was a drung dealer. That really took me by surprised! I never thought he would be like that. MARY, your right Josh should follow his heart. I've been told that your head can make the wrong choices for you. But your heart will lead you to the right choice. We all know that after Josh got with Ivy he didn't follow his heart. I know his heart was telling him to go back with Reed, and try to work it out if it can. but his head wouldn't let him forget the image of Reed and Dash.

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 10:58 PM EDT #

AMBIKIA, Wow! That's a great explanation. *thumbs up* I mean, once we met Thomas, he sounded like a really sweet guy. It definately surprised me that he was a drug dealer. *frown* But I was also kind of disappointed that I read they would usually make out instead of usually talking to one another. It makes me sad that Reed was willing to forgive him and help him get better. Though, he told her that he told his parents all about her although he didn't.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:02 PM EDT #

Yeah i didn't like that. If he really loved her like he said he would of told them about him. Even though they were horrible parents. Now i hate writing about Thomas, because i really liked him. It just makes me sad.

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:11 PM EDT #

Ah! I know. I like wallowed for the next few days after reading he...*gulp* past away. :( My friend read that he...past away and the next day at school she was all mad. Kate never wrote about the subway token Thomas gave to her. I think I remember reading about it when Reed took it with her to soccer practice.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:16 PM EDT #

Yeah isn't it suppose to be a good luck charm for something. I cried when i found out he died.*tear* I remember Ariana was so mad that Thomas gave it to her.

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:21 PM EDT #

OH yea. Arianna was looking at her from like across the quad when he gave that to her. Yea, the it was suppose to be a good luck charm and he gave it to her because "he has transcended luck". :( Gosh I miss him. I like bawled my eyes out when he died. I think that has to be like the most I cried reading the Private books. (Every book I cry. haha)

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:25 PM EDT #

yay! 100th comment! LOL Gosh, Thomas' parents made me so mad!!! And then when Blake(Thomas' brother) came in the one of the books, it made me miss Thomas because of how Reed saw how much he looked and spoke like Thomas. It made me more sad that none of his family cared for him.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:29 PM EDT #

Yeah, i swear my heart skipped a beat when i read the lines. I just hope that kate doesnt kill anyone any more! Or at least the people i like. But we can never except wat kate brian will have next for us. that's what i love about her books!

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:31 PM EDT #

I don't like that. Why wouldn't they care about their own son. Did his parents ever care about Blake or not?

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:32 PM EDT #

Ah! I know. That's what I like about her books too. Gosh, and her major cliffhangers! It's crazy. Do you think something will happen at Kiran's birthday party??

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:33 PM EDT #

I think the parents liked Blake. Thomas tried to be the "better son". Gosh, and the family kept the funeral all secretive. WE don't even know where Thomas' grave is!

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:35 PM EDT #

Wait is Reed still going? Because i'm pretty sure she got the video too. Probably maybe ivy will crash it...or ivy will tell josh to do something. (which i highly doubt he will do)

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:36 PM EDT #

We don't know if Reed got uninvited from Kiran's party. Yea, I doubt Josh will do something. But it's sad that Josh knows Ivy hates Billings and will go to extreme measures. Well not that extreme. But like when Ivy went on stage at the fundraiser to diss Billings, Josh knew! Anyways, I have to go AMBIKA. Talk later.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 21, 2008 at 11:41 PM EDT #

True, we don't know where the grave is. I really don't get why they didn't like thomas, i mean if he tried to be the better son, then at least show that you love him or something. At least he goes for people his own age, unlike Blake.(i'm sorry if that sounded rude.)

Posted by Ambika on August 21, 2008 at 11:42 PM EDT #

kate i'm SO excited for revelation. i read the first two chapters on your myspace and they were amaaaazing. will you be giving out early copies to a few people like you did with legacy??

Posted by laine on August 22, 2008 at 12:04 AM EDT #

Haha AMBIKA. But Blake was really mean.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 12:17 AM EDT #

just a random thought about Cheyennes death, on the series page of this site n it tells u bout the characters, on Trey it says that his feelings may not have expired when their relationship did so mayb he got really mad wen cheyenne wen with Josh and sneeked in n killed her?

Posted by Charlotte on August 22, 2008 at 07:50 AM EDT #

ok, so i had this crazy thought. reed finds the token that thomas gave her like the in bottom of her bag and she remember that it is good luck and then she gets everything back!!!! yay! i know that that is really not gunna happen, but it was a nice thought. lol.......o a i dont think that reed is gunna go to kirans party. if noelle is gunna be there then reed isnt. or actually if reed goes, she can corner noelle and talk to her. ok so now i am confused. so idk if reed will go.

Posted by Mary on August 22, 2008 at 08:35 AM EDT #

o and charlotte, yah that is a good idea. yah maybe trey was still bitter from their breakup and wanted revenge!!! but i have a Q. y wasnt rose in the room the night that cheyanne died? and how did trey get into their room and give her the pills. o and i dont get how it was murder b/c cheyanne used the same pills w/ josh, so she obviously had them. so who else would have had acces to them. rose would. and she was always mad at cheyanne for being mean to reed. hmmmm

Posted by Mary on August 22, 2008 at 08:40 AM EDT #

I cannot wait till revilation, after every new comment post I come back and right almost the same thing every time, about how I started the books at my school and got tons of girls obsessed with it (yes I am very proud of myself). But this time I am going to write something different, I just want to thank Kate for creating such an amazing series, I loved the Private series from the very first time Reed walked got out of her fathers car at Easton Academy! I love all the Characters, even people like Ariana and Ivy. Not for reasons you think people! But because the fit soo well into the story and Kate made them seem like they really do exist. (There could be a Ariana out there seeking revenage on her the boy she loves because he didn't keep his promise to be together with her and instead hooks up with the "new girl" in school) There is a huge possibility! Now my comment is getting alittle long! So I'll stop, but thank you Kate! and I cannot wait for Revelation!!!! Less than one MONTH!

Posted by Dalia on August 22, 2008 at 10:15 AM EDT #

OK, I'm confused. You know how Cheyenne drugged Josh with that Date Rape Drug? Meaning he can't stop himself or can't say no to bad situations. Well does that mean that pill affected his whole day? like even when Reed told him she loved him? The pill didn't have any affect there b/c we all know he loves her with all his heart. So did it take a while for the whole plan to work? But we don't know if he did anything weird that day. He was normal around Reed. any guesses or answers?

Posted by Lauren on August 22, 2008 at 11:25 AM EDT #

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! What is this token of which we speak? I'm missing something. And, did Reed get some invitation to Thomas' grave? IM lost.

Posted by Niya on August 22, 2008 at 12:08 PM EDT #

NIYA-the token is the metrostation coin thing that thomas gave reed in the first book. o and i think that cheyanne didnt give josh the pill till after he and reed were in the room that morning.....o and i am still confused about rose. she would be the perfect one to kill cheyanne, but she seems to sweet to do that. but then again so did arriana. hmmmm

Posted by Mary on August 22, 2008 at 12:45 PM EDT #

I really am beginning to think that Rose did it. She was also the one that found Cheyanne in the morning, she was suppose to help her pack. Interesting

Posted by Amber on August 22, 2008 at 01:35 PM EDT #

Thnx MARY, but why is everyone talking about the whole Josh meet Reed at grave thing.

Posted by Niya on August 22, 2008 at 01:36 PM EDT #

There a lot of possiblities that who would of killed cheyenne. Trey could be a good one because they just broken up, rose is a good one because well she was in the room when everything happen. But if someone did come in and kill cheyenne wouldn't she heard like cheyenne scream or something. Because inorder for her to take the pills she would of been awake, and see the murder right?

Posted by Ambika on August 22, 2008 at 02:31 PM EDT #

Unless someone gave her the pills earlier in something in the day and then she took more the night cause her to die. Someone may not have actually been in the room. It would have to be someone that knew how many pills she normally took, ie Rose.

Posted by Amber on August 22, 2008 at 02:44 PM EDT #

MARY, haha. I like your Thomas' coin will give Reed everything back! Nice thought! After reading your Rose comments, it seems like she could be the one. I need to reread!

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 03:37 PM EDT #

ok ivy could have done this she could have snuk the pills into joshes thing b4 he went to the meeting and she knw that chyanne wanted josh and that she would try something w/ him and she knw that reed would catch them and then fight w. chyanne and then billings would slowly crumple and then she gave thoes pills to chyanne so chyanne would take them and the die and then sent reed thoes e-mails so reed would go crazy and then she sent the note to reed to meet dash and put thoes pills in reeds drink and dashes drink and knw that that would happen so she taped it and then waited until that wrts time to send it to noelle and everyone i knw its long but ivy seems like she has no life other than to destroy billings

Posted by Alli on August 22, 2008 at 03:55 PM EDT #

Alli-While that is possible, it is very unlikely that Kate make the killer that obvious. Look at the first one, none of us suspected Arianna, Taylor maybe or maybe even Kiran. But not Arianna. I really think that Ivy would be to obvious.

Posted by Amber on August 22, 2008 at 04:08 PM EDT #

Where do you find the summary to LAST CHRISTMAS!!??

Posted by Lexi on August 22, 2008 at 06:04 PM EDT #

You can find it at the website simonsays.com in the search field type in Kate Brian, you will see books listed out with pictures, just find Last Christmas and click on it. Hope this helps!

Posted by Amber on August 22, 2008 at 06:10 PM EDT #

It has to be someone that we havent talked about. Someone that is quiet and we think is reeds friend. I'm wonding why would Ivy want reed to think it was her. Is Ivy trying to cover up someone. We all know that Ivy can get out in any situation, but if she is then why?

Posted by Ambika on August 22, 2008 at 06:29 PM EDT #

But Ivy does want to destory Billings!! She even admitted to go after Noelle! I'm not sure she killed Cheyanne but she does want to destory Reed and Billings! She's still a threat.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 07:19 PM EDT #

I was saying either Sabine, Trey, or Kiki, but I think that Rose is best guess. She is the quiet one who no one would expect and she did live with Cheyenne. I also think that someone put something in Dash and Reed's drinks. I don't think that Dash would act that way unless he took something that night. Reed on the other hand was aware of everything she was doing, even though she said that something was pulling her closer and closer to him, and that it wasn't good. Maybe something was in her drinks? I don't know.

Posted by Niya on August 22, 2008 at 07:29 PM EDT #

Yeah, my friend thinks that something was put in Reed's drinks. But didn't Sabine give her the drinks?? But I doubt Sabine did anything to them...

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 07:32 PM EDT #

I was just reading invitation only, and I don't get why Thomas' parents hate him soooooo much!!!!! I made me want to tear out their hair! Before Reed left, she should have told them off. It makes me want to throw up the way they treated his funeral, like it was some charity event(in the words of Reed). I wonder whats up with the parents anyways. I think the whole family is screwed up. One look at Blake would tell it all. This entry sounds a lot like a rant.

Posted by Niya on August 22, 2008 at 07:48 PM EDT #

OOO!! I think that Ivy gave Cheyenne those pills she used to OD(cheyenne) And Ivy had some left over, so she put a bunch in reed's drink and told Sabine to give it to her. Sabine was DRUNK! wasn't she? She kept giving reed some drinks and drinking her own right? Anyways, when your drunk you lose judgement. So Sabine just went along. Like she delievered that note Dash gave her! And anyways back to Ivy and the drugs. So she gave them to Reed. So it's was like those Date Rape Drugs, she can't control herself. Added with Drinking she was like out of control! SO Reed said that there was something pulling her to Dash. IT WAS THE DRUG! It does that to you! It had to be! But somehow, Ivy knew that Reed and Dash where going to be up there... That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Posted by Lauren on August 22, 2008 at 08:50 PM EDT #

And about Cheyenne's murder. They said there was no signs of struggle. Either Cheyenne let someone kill her. OR it was a sneaky murder. Like if it was shock. you could tell by her heart race. Then you would be able to tell

Posted by Lauren on August 22, 2008 at 08:50 PM EDT #

I have no idea. I'm rereading AMBITION again. It made me teary eyed when I reread the part when Reed tries to apologize to Josh. And then Josh storming out of the cafeteria when Reed gives her number to Hunter Braden.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 09:31 PM EDT #

JACQUELINE! I did the exact same thing! When I was rereading it I got so sad when Josh didnt want to hear Reeds apology! I really enjoyed it when Josh stormed out of the cafeteria because then maybe she will make him jeleous enough to come back to her! They were so cute together!

Posted by Amy! on August 22, 2008 at 10:27 PM EDT #

omg, I cant wait for revelation! I hope Dash and Reed get together, their perfect, but I like josh too. Hmm...love triangle? And when I was reading legacy I knew from the start chey. was not suicidal, Ivy kept standing out in my mind I dunno why. Now it makes sense! I hope Reed comes out of her shell and thinks as fast like what Noelle did when Ivy told the truth about the fundraiser. Cant wait till september!

Posted by Kam on August 22, 2008 at 10:28 PM EDT #

AMY!, I know! But I dont' think Reed should do the jealous thing, just try to go after him now because of the whole Noelle is mad at her now! But it also made me sad when Josh and Ivy were in the cafe and Ivy almost hit her. (though josh saved Reed from getting hit. HE still KNEW ivy was going to hit her though, right? I want to know more about Dash. I like Josh better though.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 10:58 PM EDT #

During the legacy, when sabine gave the note to reed. Reed asked who gave it to sabine and she said some lady. but couldn't see that face because of the mask. So if sabine was drunk, and kinda didn't care who it was. it could of been ivy... like i said dash wouldnt pull to reed when she is going out with his bestfriend. So i think both of them were drugged. Even reed thought that someone/something was put in her pink drink.

Posted by Ambika on August 22, 2008 at 11:00 PM EDT #

I have no idea. But Dash did flirt with Reed and vice versa. They did like each other. And I forgot, but remember that time when Dash pulled Reed over to talk to her, like when Reed was waitressing or something?

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 11:12 PM EDT #

Yeah i remember that too. I forgot why she was doing that, but i really thought they were going to kiss. But i never wanted them too..actually.Reed should of pulled away, but she likes him...you can't really help who you like.

Posted by Ambika on August 22, 2008 at 11:28 PM EDT #

You got a point...but she had Josh!! I really don't know. I guess she just got caught up with the flirty stuff even though she was IN LOVE with Josh.

Posted by Jacqueline on August 22, 2008 at 11:33 PM EDT #

Yes, your right about getting caught up with the flirty stuff. Well, I have a Q during the fundraiser, when josh knew that Ivy was going to let out the video. Why did he do it? Just to hurt reed? Or what? If he really loved her, he would want her to get hurt. I know he saved her from a slap, but this wasn't phyically, it was mentally hurt. I know josh wouldn't let reed get hurt. but what he did was... not him.

Posted by Ambika on August 22, 2008 at 11:47 PM EDT #

I BET THE PERSON WHO GAVE SABINE THE NOTE WAS ARIANA! MAYB SHE BAILED HERSELF OUT OR SOMETHING?

Posted by Katelyn on August 23, 2008 at 01:21 AM EDT #

didnt reed just get her drink from the waiter that had a trey of them? idk but i think she did. and how would they put some kinda drug in there if the drinks were going out to every one. (idk if that made sence. lol). but i do think that reed was drugged......KAM, dash and reed are not perfect for each other!!!......ooooooo i just got an idea, maybe noelle l
