I might have said it before but I don't remember now(so sorry for clogging up your timeline in here :S) but Thank you, thank you so much for accepting my friend request. :) It is such an honor and you're my absolute favorite author, so I'm looking forward to reading more of your books. Have a nice day. Greeting from Albania :)
thanks for writing the best books on EARTH!!!!!!! i love when one of your books come out! and i love reading your blog posts! AS you can tell you are pretty much my idol!!!!
How do you do it?! Seriously, every book of yours that I've read so far, I've fallen completely in love with the leading male character!!
Amazing books, amazing characters.. Thank you!! :-)

thanks so much for accepting me your the best ^_^an I love you books an I hope to read more of you awesome books ^_^
I finally have time to sit down and read a book, so naturally I gravitated to one of yours that I haven't had the chance to read yet. I've been up all night, and have made it just about halfway through "Along for the Ride" and have realized that Auden and Eli are my two favourite characters that you have created! For one, I can relate to Auden. I'm a bit anti-social and an insomniac. And two, Eli reminds me of the guy I'm currently crushing on! And what are the odds that he and I also started talking because we don't sleep at night. :p
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for creating characters that keep me company during the night.

You are my hero. I have read every one of your books, and each one took a place in my heart. I walk in the store, and I see Remy buying Dexter the plastic sliverware, I'm at my cousins mansion house, and I see Nate sitting by his pool. The characters you created, are a part of my life. They help me get through the days. I'm in 8th grade, and we have to pick a quote and a baby picture. SO it's our school/class picture, and next to it is our baby picture, then below is a quote.
Here's mine.

Hi, Sarah! Thank you very much for the add. I've been reading your books for almost 10 years and I'm a big fan.
I was rereading one of your books the other day and a thought came to mind. Have you ever considered making an interactive website with UMe.com profiles for your characters? I think it would be a neat way to keep track of everyone, especially since quite a few of them make cameo appearances in your later books.
Just a thought (: Thanks again and I look forward to your future books!

Thanks for the add! I think you're an amazing writer and I've loved all the characters I've read so far! I'm currently reading Lock & Key and loving it! Don't give up writing, seriously! Can't wait to read the rest of your books:)<3
I just read just listen, the book touched my heart and was very said. i came upon the verge of tears a few time. I have to say my favorite characters are Rolly and Clark!!!
Yay! thanks sooo much for the add! I am so excited you accepted. I just started reading your newest book and I can already tell you that I love Mclean's voice. You and your books are the reason I decided to go to school for writing, so I just want to say thank you for the inspiration :) and good luck with your tour!!
thanks for accepting my friend request. i also want to say that you ROCK!! i love your books, especially, truth about forever! i really wish you would do a book signing in London?? take care!

I am absolutely in love w/ Along For The Ride and The Truth About Forever! They are two of my most fave books ever!!! I am currently working my way through all of your other books as quickly as I can! I love every word of yours that I've ever read. You are such an amazing author. Thank you so much for writing the books you have!
P.S. It frustrates me soo much knowing that you live within an hour of my house yet I don't know where you live!

I have read all of your books and i want to tell you how much i loved them. They were easy, fun books to read at my spare time and i felt as if i was the person telling the story. I also liked how your books were connected somehow, that made them more interesting to try to find what part goes in what book. The love in these books aren't like normal love, its almost like this love could happen in reality. One thing that i disliked about this series is the really small books. Dreamland and That Summer were probably my worst favorite out of the bunch...but the big books like Just Listen and Along for the Ride were GREAT! Keep on writing! I want more of that series PLEASEE!!

I'm so happy to tell you that my country has finally got enough sense to get your books and sell them. I read three of your books and loved every second of them.
Just Listen, Lock and Key, This Lullaby were great. I just want to get my hands on Along For the Ride and The Truth About Forever...these two books are the ones i really want to read. Better head out to find them. Wish me luck.
You're a great author...someday i wish to be as famous as you :)

Hi, Mrs. Dessen! I love your books and especially "Someone Like You". I'm currently reading "Along For The Ride".
Hey Sarah! Wow...snowing?! Where do you live again? I live in Washington and all we get here is RAIN RAIN and more RAIN. It gets pretty annoying. I am reading Along For the Ride after I already read Lock and Key and I loved it so much I bought the book!!! Now I'm reading Along for the Ride from the library but I might have to buy that one too! I love your books!
Hi Sarah.
I was wondering if you have any news to share on upcoming books you might be releasing? I've recently become a fan of your books and I've plowed right through most of them, so I was just wonderding if there are more to come down the horizon??
Thanks!
