viv52k i have a question will u be making a fourth book of fifty shades


message 131: by Melanie

Melanie Like everyone else I am obsessed with the Fifty Shades trilogy. PLEASE write a fourth book! And I wouldn't complain if you decided to finish the whole first book from Christian's POV :) It really is an amazing love story, thank you for sharing it with us!


message 130: by Trisha

Trisha Did you (kind of) get the idea of Christian's character from American Psycho aka Patrick Batemen? They almost have the same similarities. Just a thought. I adore your books. Thank for sharing them with us.


message 129: by Jenn

Jenn Thanks for the friend accept. Your books have started a small "racy" book club for my friends and myself at work. your series is amazing and I so enjoy my Christian Grey fantasy


Lisa who loves to read Our town is going crazy over your books!! I live in Charleston south Carolina and they are having contests and many newscasts on this awesome trilogy. There are 400 people on the library waiting list. You have becomes big hit over here on the east coast. Thank you for the books and the fantasy.

message 126: by Chelsea

Chelsea Gouin Thanks for accepting my friend request! I'm about halfway through your book and I'm really liking it! I'm already obsessed with Christian and have ordered book 2 which I will start as soon as I finish this one! Your characters are so believable I feel like i'm going to bump into Ana or Christian (please!) on the street. :) I can't wait to read any of your future writings. :)


message 125: by Amy

Amy I know you hear this a lot but thank you for such a wonderful escape. I love your writing style and getting to know your characters. Can't wait to see what you come out with next and hopefully one day a book from Christian's pov-which i am sure you are probably tired of hearing. I was obsessed with the twilight books as well and love that you wrote a "grown up" story.


message 124: by Caroon

Caroon Thank you so much for accepting my request. More over thank you for providing such an amazing trilogy! This book has me wrapped around its finger so bad that I am obsessing ove te love of these characters. I read them all in a week and I am Rereading them because I can't move on to another book.

I really appreciated in the last book that you wrote Shades of Christian. I know that you have probably moved on from this trilogy but if you rethink it, I think it would be amazing to have a fourth book or an all new book completely from Christians point of view from his childhood (:'( heartbreaking) all the way to Anastasia and his rules breaking love for her!

Again thank you for such a great contemporary love story that women can believe in!


message 123: by Sara

Sara Are you planning a trip to Denver anytime soon??? I would love to meet you and have my books signed!! :)

Kelly Thank you for accepting my friend request. Of course I'm a huge fan. Best wishes for your continued success and thanks for Fifty Shades.

message 119: by Rita

Rita I had a wonderful time meeting you tonight in Miami at the Biltmore! I love that you spoke so openly and freely about Fifty Shades. You are one of the most humble, down to earth, fun "public figures" I have ever met! I must say that I was most surprised to hear that you have never been to Seattle where your books take place. It's such a lovely city and I hope that you have the chance to visit there soon! So sorry the Florida Sunshine was missing during your time here and it was "quite wet" (as you put it) for your stay...you'll just have to come back and see us again! Enjoy the rest of your book tour and have safe travels...laters, baby ;)


message 118: by Gianna

Gianna just finished fifty shades freed last night..omg i am dying inside because i do not know what to do with myself. those books have been my life the past few days, please tell me you are writing more in christians POV.and if there is a movie i think ryan gosling and felicity jones would be fabulous.

Michelle Thank you for accepting my friend request. I love your books and am struck by the depth of character and exquisite beauty in the love story of Christian and Ana. I can't wait to read what you have in store for us next.


message 115: by Jasmin

Jasmin Thank you for adding me! I love Fifty Shades so much! I was just wondering if you were going to write the books in Christians POV, because you did a little preview at the end of the last book and I loved it so much! I really wanna read what he was thinking throughout the story. Anyways, thank you for bringing Christian into my life, no man will ever be good enough anymore..


message 114: by Diana

Diana Terlingo Thank you so much for the add...I totally LOVE your books...I am slowly reading the third book because I do not want it to end. The love..the fuckery...the emotions...the banter between them...the emails...the music...EVERYTHING just blew me away! I will read them again as soon as I'm done, and then again after that! I've gotten over 100 people to read them! Thank you so much. And by the way...YOU ARE A GREAT WRITER!


message 113: by Meghan

Meghan Rose Thank you so much for accepting my friendship request. It has been an absolutely delicious, sexy, beautiful, heart-wrenching, emotional, thrill ride reading all about Fifty Shades. And I have loved every single second of it, thank you!!!


message 112: by Leslie

Leslie Well done on American television this morning, E. L!! You're just a suburban mom like me...with a wicked imagination...yay!! So proud for you and if you need any advice, (yeah, right) on who to cast for Christian, I'm your girl!! (Henry Cavill!!!) Ha!

Enjoy the attention...those two years of writing paid off and good for you!!


message 111: by Meli GM

Meli GM Wanted to thank you for introducing us to these lovely characters. Would love to read the book from Christian's perspective but would settle for any other characters you can throw at us....love, love, love your book and am pleased to hear that you'll have a part in the movie.
Please don't change a thing.

P.S.: Ryan Gosling as Christian and Felicia Jones as Ana ; )


message 110: by Chryssa

Chryssa What can I say that's original and hundreds haven't said already about Fifty and Ana's story? I am at a loss of complimentary descriptive synonyms!!!!

Universal Pictures and Focus Features have acquired the rights to E.L. James' bestselling erotic novel, "Fifty Shades of Gray."

In a joint announcement Monday, Universal and Focus called the word-of-mouth sensation a "special story."

"just curious though uhhm the kinky parts, are they from research or own experience or just freakin imagination?? haha thanks again!!!

♥Book♥YouVeryMuch Thank you so much for accepting friendship and also for making an amasing "shades world".
Your captivating writing has brought such an enjoyment while reading your books.

I can not wait for you to write/publish next book.


message 95: by Elle

Elle Lapraim Congratulations on having your book on the Today show today. I don't think they gave it a fair shake, but I guess any publicity is good publicity. I loved your books so much that I found myself yelling at the screen this morning, saying, "no, no your getting it all wrong. It is about much more than that." However, like I said, you're still going to get a ton more fans from that. You must be very exited. I can't wait to read whatever you write next.

Best of Luck,
Elle


message 94: by Melissa

Melissa Hey EL!!!

I was getting ready for work this morning and watching the news (WPIX Channel 11 in New York City) and they were totally talking about the Fifty Shades Trilogy! I was like "WHAAAAAAAAT!!!" I didn't get to watch the whole segment, but I dvr'd it and will catch up with it later. Also my girlfriend was at the nail salon the other day and called me to say that there were a bunch of ladies cackling and laughing and talking about the Fifty Books!


YOU, my friend, are EVERYWHERE! And I love it!!!

Have a great day
xoxo

Alexis Thank you for accepting my friendship! I am a huuuge fan. I was a bit reluctant to read your series, I'm not into bdsm and total submission. However, it got great reviews so I decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did, I recommended it to my friends. I had a question though, I could have read it and I just can't remember(I went through the last few chapters to make sure), but what happens between Mia and Ethan at the end of the trilogy? I remember reading that Kate and Elliot had a baby girl, and of course how it ended between Christian and Ana.


message 88: by Namra

Namra Hi! Thanks for your friendship.I am currently reading Fifty Shades Darker. I love Christian and Ana together.Also Ana is very different from most heroines.More spunky and more fun.And Christian is just *swoon* *Thud*..Seriously your books rocks.Now i've gotta go back to reading Fifty Shades Darker.Ciao!


message 87: by Helen

Helen Just stopped by to say that I LOVE your work! Christian and Ana have made a permanent place in my heart! I love them! Beautiful work Ms. James! Well done!


message 86: by Ms. L

Ms. L Ms. James,

Ms. L


message 85: by Miki

Miki thank you for accepting my friend's request. Just got Fifty Shades of Grey. I'm already loving it:)


message 84: by Bia

Bia Finished...I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. AND, THE WHOLE SERIES IS THE BEST....EVER!!!....
What can I say, that hasn't been said?? These are the BEST books I've read. Ever.
Although I loved book #3 (Freed), books 1 & 2 are still my faves. The whole trilogy MUST be read. That's it...it's a MUST..
Who will EVER be able to top Cristian Grey? Or Ana?? Nobody. I do have some very, very favorite heroes that have been on my "top" list for a loooong time...but...Fifty Shades Trilogy..beat that list. And always will.
This is NOT a YA trilogy..this is a Tasteful, Emotional read that leaves us spoiled for any other books...REALLY! ( SHOUTY CAPITALS!!.:)
Loved, loved, loved and WILL read this series over, and over.
Love my FIFTY!!!!
Thank you, Ms. James for creating such amazing, real characters...for creating a story that I'll never, ever will forget.

Note: Ms. James...PLEASEEEE WRITE Christians POV? Pleaseeee?? Lol..

I so agree with you, I am having withdrawal already.
