message 183: by Amalyn

Amalyn Thank you so much for the add! I’m sure you have heard this a million times but for the millionth and one time... I absolutely without a doubt loved your series, just brilliant! I hope to read many more of the works of art you have created, nothing ordinary about that!


message 182: by Emma

Emma L.J hi thanks for the add . I really enjoyed your books they have opened a whole new world for me and i aint never going back lol .cant wait to see what you write next xx


Stephanie I just wanted to say I really enjoy your books! You made me believe in love again. I really like the way you showed how men can love and need love just as much as women. The way Christian and Ana are with each other is wonderful. Thank you for giving us something wonderful in a wild and crazy way!


message 180: by Gabriela

Gabriela E.L. I read somewhere that there was another story coming out if the Fifty Universe, with Anna's sister, Mia as the protag? Is there any truth to this? I'd like to read them!


Stephanie I really enjoyed your books! I think of Ana and Christian as friends. I find myself thinking about them. I can't wait for your next project!


Sarah ~ Literal Hottie ~ Thanks for accepting friend invite, I'm really looking forward to reading more of your books in the future, (I've already read fifty shades triology 3 times!) ;)


message 177: by Charmaine (last edited Dec 08, 2012 03:52am)

Charmaine Stephens Thanks for the add! Gotta say I absolutely loved FSOG. Probably my favorite trilogy of all time. I haven't been the same since! Changed me in so many ways. And sparked me into getting back into reading like I was when I was a kid. I've now read 40 more books since finishing fifty. And now I love reading again, just as much as I did when I was younger. Loved everything about it. The characters, the storyline, the main plots, sub plots, i love the classical music all throughout it. Took me through every emotion. I laughed, i cried, my heart went out to them at different points throughout. And also love the different locations it takes place at. One of my favorite parts was reading about the Hall of Mirrors in Paris. That place is gorgeous! And the Thomas Thallis "Spem in alum" piece..Such beautiful music as well.The love story between Ana & Christian is just amazing. Who doesn't want some Christian Grey after that book? lol Great job! And please continue more & more books. And I can't wait for the movie. Laters baby :)


message 176: by Kelly

Kelly Congratulations!!! You certainly deserve it!!!


Amy~undercoversmuttster~ WOW! Big Congratulations for the best romance win. Over 89,000 votes were cast in the romance section and Freed won with almost 23000. You opened my world up! Never used to read until I read your books last April and now I am at almost 100 books. Love our Fifty Shades Support Group that now has over 3000 members. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!

Adela I love your books!


message 170: by Michelle (BleuTulips) (last edited Oct 30, 2012 09:57am)

Michelle (BleuTulips) Thank you for accepting my friend request! Love FSoG for the love story that it is, and that in reading it, I rediscovered my love of reading! (Read the series in a week and have read it at least 3 times since then!) Besides FSoG, I have read a (virtual) stack of books this summer and loved every minute of it. And now, thanks to Twitter and a common admiration of FSoG, I have met and am now a first reader and editor for an indie author who is writing her first series of books.
{ Dominion Ascension about vampires and vampire hunters, if you're interested. ;)}

You've changed my life in more ways than one and I'm grateful!

Really looking forward to your next book; hoping it'll be FSoG-related but I'll read whatever you decide to write!


message 169: by Lily

Lily Thank you for adding me.


Diana (Offbeat Vagabond) Thank you for accepting the friend invite. Have I earned bragging rights? I think so LOL! I am just messing with you. But seriously, this has made my week. Thank you so much. Hope you are having a wonderful week hon. Talk later :D


message 167: by Kristina (last edited Oct 24, 2012 12:10am)

Kristina David Give the book " Twisted " by Amity Hope a read through. Sure, it's a high school read (and I ain't in high school that's for sure)... But the book, despite sickly sweet looking cover art, is a gut wrencher. I'm going around suggesting.

Twisted


message 166: by Tracy

message 158: by Jennifer

Jennifer Great interview on Katie! ;-)


Stephanie Loving you on Katie!!!!!


message 156: by Nathalie

Nathalie I just can say THANK YOU!!! For the friending and above all, for your books!! I readed them in 3 days; I didn't sleep, but I just couldn't put it down!! It has changed so many things in my life, and is not just the erotic part of life, it has made me braver, more open to share what I want, what I expect and don't feel bad about it; many women (like me) are shy and feel insecure talking about this, but now I really feel freed. And of course, is a lovely love story! Really thanks! :)


Realitycheck Thanks for the friending, please feel free to check out my bookshelves, quotes, friends and groups for things that might interest you or you read and forgot about.


message 154: by Bethany

Bethany Just wanted to say that I loved Fifty Shades :) I read them all back in March and actually reread them! Is there any chance of books focusing on Kate/Elliott and Mia/Ethan?


message 153: by Marisa

Marisa Purcell I heard there is a 4th 50 Shades book? Is that true!! OMG, I'll be first in line to get it!!!

message 149: by Ana

Ana Thanks for accepting my friend request. I devoured your books. They were so addictive!!! Now I can't wait for the movie. Any hints about who'll play Christian Grey? I'd love to see Michael Fassbender...

NanaVamp TThank you for accepting my friends request


message 140: by Marisette (last edited Jun 30, 2012 04:40pm)

Marisette Burgess Thank you for the friend request. I have yet to read the second and third books, but am eager to finish the Hunger Games series and finish yours. I can understand loving a series like Twilight, and having the inspiration to write one of your own. That is just what I did, even though my characters are not based on the Twilight's, they are inspired by my favorite stories, fables, fairytales, and childhood books.
I think you have a gift for unique and intriguing characterization. I congratulate you on your success and look forward to the movies.
Men of the Cave


message 139: by Carla

Carla Hey E.L James! God! I love your books. I miss Fifty and Ana so much, their story really touched me. Amazing characters...I didn't like Christian in the first book but after what happened in the end and his change... geez!! How can someone with so manny problems like him can still be so perfect? Well do you plan on keep writing this series from others pov or i don't know maybe Ethan and Mia story? Or even another books? I would love to read your other books... bye!


message 138: by Elvita (last edited Jun 14, 2012 07:11pm)

Elvita Dear E.L. James. I just saw this abc video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpm_1i...) and I just want to say THANK YOU!!!!!! Thank you for creating the Fifty Shades Trilogy and spicing up my single mother life. I work hard to provide a good life for my eight year old son. It's rare that I find books or movies that provides me with an enjoyable outlet in life....you have done that. I truly thank you from an overworked, lonely, and single hard working young mom (mum). You have provided me with hours of precious entertainment and joy! Keep up the amazing work. Big hugz <3


message 137: by Len
