Anne's Friend Comments

I would love an Academy 7 follow up! It's been too long!! Such a great story with the best characters :)

I'm so excited about Redemption coming out! Now if only Aerin and Dane can get their two books to complete their trilogy!!!!!! :):):) (I mean, I'll settle for even ebook only releases. I love Aerin and Dane!)

I'm a huge fan of Aurelia and Exile! When is the third one coming out?! I'm dying! :)

I feel like you have read ALL OF THE BOOKS haha. :) Everytime I look at a book page, it seems you've read it! :P How do you find time to read so much?

Hi Jackie,

Yes:) Thanks for the update. I only have two more of her books left to-read before the new release.

Hey Anne-Didn't know if you knew Sarah Dessen is coming out with a new book in June. It's called "The Moon and More". I know you've been reading a lot of hers, so I wanted to make you aware.

Hi Anne. Thanks for adding me :)

I hope you will write a review of Vixen, since I see you are currently reading it. I have that book on my shelf waiting to be read, but I'm curious to see what you think of it!! Have a lovely day!

Just finished Academy 7 (only took me a couple of hours because I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!) and I'm dying to know if there's going to be a follow-up. Please say yes! And would it help to know that a sequel is the only thing I'm asking for from Cupid this year? :P

hi Anne,
thanks for the recommend...

HI ANNE..;)..THX FOR YOUR RECOMENDATIONS..!!..THE BOOKS ARE REALLY AMAIZING..:x:x:x

Hi, Anne! Thanks for the add! :)

Hi Anne Osterlund! Thanks for adding me to your friend list! I loved Aurelia! I really want to read Exile! They don't have it yet at the Madison Public Library. :( I check everyday for them to get it. I really hope they get the book soon! :)

Thanks again for adding me to your friend list!,

Hola Marialys,

No te preocupes de los errores. Es un placer de encontrarte. Espero que eventualmente podemos tener versiones de los libros en espanol tambien.

Marialys Scarano Hi, thanks for the friend request.
I really want to read your books, but I'm from Venezuela and it's kind of 'the hardest thing in the whole Universe' to get any book; not even in english, cuz there aren't deliverys to here. I'm writing Santa's letter to finally get Academy 7 o Aurelia.
Love the bookcovers and the summary.
Sorry for bad-spelled words, and all kind of mistakes :)
Grettings from Venezuela.

Thx for your friend request =D Your book sound fantastic...hope to read one soon!

Hi Anne! Thank you for the friend request. I loved Aurelia and Academy 7! Looking forward to reading Exile! I noticed in your profile that you are "polishing" another book as well - I can't wait :)

Hi Anne,
Thanks for noticing my interest in Aurelia and adding me! I'm looking forward to reading it soon, especially after a good friend of mine recommended it to me.
Greetings and happy writings!

hi Anne,
thanks for the recommend!!!
waiting for more of your books...

Hi Anne! Thanks for inviting me. I really enjoyed Aurelia, so now I'm looking for Exile. I already have Academy 7 and will definitely read it soon. :) Have a nice day!

Hi Anne
Thanks for the invite! :) youre books look really interesting, i will have to find them.

Hey Anne! thanks for the friend invite *-* I loved Academy 7 and I can't wait to read Aurelia and Exile =)

Hi Anne! Thanks for the friend request. I loved Aurelia and Exile (THEY WERE AWESOME) and I cant wait to read Academy 7. :D

thanks for the recommend,Anne!

Thanks for the friends request! I loved Academy 7 :)

Hi Anne! Thanks for the friend invite. Look forward to reading your books. It's always exciting to watch authors from Oregon find success.
Much luck and happy reading!

Hi! i would just like to say that Exile was AMAZING. I loved it! one of my favourite books :)

Thanks for the request! I just finished Aurelia a few days ago and completely fell in love with the characters. It's one of my favorites, as well as Academy 7. You're brilliant really. I can't wait to read Exile! :)

I look forward to reading your stories! :)

Hi Ashlee,

Hi Spleen,

Aurelia, Robert, and I hope you enjoy their first story! And I LOVE to send book recommendations so I hope at least some of them are helpful.

Hi Nicole,

Aerin, Dane, Aurelia, Robert, and I hope you enjoy their stories! I didn't know if I would like Leaving Paradise either. Generally am not a big fan of realistic fiction with "suffering" in it. But Simone's Perfect Chemistry series was such fun, I knew I needed to try this one. And I LOVED this first book.

Hi Casey,

Yep. "Adding" works. Or "inviting." And that is about the extent of my online book networking expertise:)

My characters--Aurelia, Robert, Aerin, Dane--and I hope you enjoy their stories!

And yes! Aren't the covers GORGEOUS? Michael Frost and Theresa Evangelista are amazing!

Hi Jess,

You're welcome. Robert, Aurelia, and I hope you enjoy their stories!

Hi Teresa,

Aerin, Dane, and I are thrilled you enjoyed their story! And Aurelia and Robert hope you enjoy theirs as well. It's funny what a big difference expectations make on how much you can enjoy a book. I spent one summer going through a BOX of books (maybe 30) I had failed to read over the school year. The last book--the VERY last one--The Sword of the Land by Noel-Anne Brennan turned out to be the best one. So much for assumptions! LOL.

Hi Ashley,

Aurelia, Robert, and I are thrilled you liked their first story! We hope you enjoy the expedition in Exile.

Hi Brittany,

"Awesome" is a great descriptor. Generally my ability to keep up to date on Goodreads adds is due to the fact that I can do so without any brain power whatsoever. A very important requirement after 8 1/2 hours with 27 sixth grade students.

Hi Wendy,

Oh, I can chat books FOREVER. Hence all my Goodreads comments/reviews despite the fact that my house can always use a TAD more cleaning.

Hi Taznim,

I would LOVE to write a third book! (Actually the first draft is already done). Aurelia feels it is absolutely vital that I finish her story, so it's possible I may have no choice in the matter anyway.

You're welcome for all the book recs. I LOVE recommending books--as you've probably figured out. LOL.
