That my new book, 3 Willows, goes on sale.   I've got the usual anxiety.  I've also got the usual excitement, but I guess excitement never feels usual.   It's the beginning of life for new characters and their stories.  Now they are in the world and they get to interact with readers and change and evolve as they go.
 
I start my book tour in Southbury, Connecticut tonight, move on to Atlanta and Miami later in the week, and then go to Chicago and Denver next week.  The full tour schedule is posted on this site under "Events," so please do come if you live in one of the cities I'm visiting.  I'd love to meet you.

On the subject of this site, I'm sort of reintroducing it today.  It's been simplified a bit, it can now be reached by the address annbrashares.com (as well as annbrashares.net), and I will be able to update it much more easily.  Also, you can now write to me directly  (see the "Write to Ann" link on the homepage).  All these changes are for the better, I hope, and I am thrilled to be able to interact with the site and with readers more easily. 

Thank you for your interest in my books.  Thank you for posting your lovely comments.   I'll write again soon.

you are the bomb i love you and i;m a boy!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Ann.

My name is Sam.

I must confess, I did not read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, but after reading 3 Willows, I know I have to!

I had to do a book review on a book that was published in 2008-2009. And, when I was walking through Sam's Club on Jan. 31th, I found 3 Willows.

I read it in about 2 1/2 days.

Obviously, my book review is going to be a positive one. 3 Willows is an excellent book!

I'm so glad that my teacher assigned this book review, or who knows if I would have looked and found one of my now favorite books?

Thanks sooo much for writing this. It's very true to the heart, and very relateable.

-Sam

Ann,

I'm excited to read willows. I didn't know about the book until today. Currently, I am reading the second book to The Second Summer of the Sisterhood. I love it so far. And I had seen both movies.
In the next couple of weeks, I want to read the reamining two books then read 3 Willows.
I have a question though, why did they conclude the 3 final books of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants into the second movie? There is so much that happens which is not in the movie.
Thank you for your writings. You are a true inspiration. Love, Jodie

I had to read a book for a report and was having trouble finding one. I saw that book and didnt know anything about it. I am now glad that i got that one because i absolutely love it :}

Is there going to be a sequel to 3 Willows?

Hi Ann! I am a big fan of your sisterhood of the travelling pants books, and when i saw 3 Willows I just HAD to read it! I read it in 2 days, never putting it down, it was a great book! Im sad that its over, and i was wondering if you will be making a sequel?
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderfull book!
- Dani

Hi Ann!
I haven't read the book the 3 Willows yet, but I am going to. I have read the whole series of the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and I loved it. I'm just wondering, is the 3 Willows going to be a series????

There HAS to be a sequel.

Please??????????????????

OMG!!! i LUV 3 willows! ama, jo, and polly are irresistible.

Dear Ann,

I know this will sound crazy, but i am a mother of two teenage daughters and almost 40 years old. I used to work at a high school library where my children go. When Traveling Pants came out I read the first 3 in 3 three days at my summer camp. I couldn't wait for the last one to come out. Read that one in a day too. I was in the book store and found 3 Willows sat down and started reading it and just had to buy it. Read that one in a day too. I am going to donate it to my daughters library were I worked so that it can be enjoyed by the kids.

you are my favourite writer
and i love all your books
and i have read most of them :)

Ann, I am in love with your books!
I have not read the last books of the traveling
pants but i've read the first 2 and they are amazing!
i read the first one in 2 days and the second one in 3 days. i loved them and i hope the last 2 are even better :)

Hello Ann!
I purchased 3 Willows, just by chance yesterday. I went with my family (cousins included/aunt) to Barnes and Noble. I saw this book, and at first I thought it was about 3 Tress; but then I saw... that you were "THEE BEST SELLING AUTHOR of the traveling pants". So I figured it must be about sisters, I opened it & read the summary (I had to get it!) Wow.. AN AMAZING BOOK!
In one day(not a full day) Im on page 38. Im not even going to lie, I have not read Sisterhood.. but I have saw the movies. :)

My favorite quote is on page/28. ;]

hi ann,

i am aliesha, and i finished 3 willows today. IT is the best book i have ever read!! i couldnt put it down. i could have read it in one day but my mum told me it wood hurt my eyes if i kept reading it HAHA.

i have read the first sisterhood book and have seen both the movies, I LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS and hope you will be writing another one for me to read.

oh my goodness-
I LOVE 3 WILLOWS.
one of my favouritest books ever!
congratulations on writing an amazing book!

hey
i love your books

i am reading 3 willows right now and i live in newzealand i have read the 2,3 and the 4th sisterhood of the traverling pants and i love them but i havent got hold of the sisterhood of the traviling pants but i cant wait to read it :D i havent seen the movies yet buit i am going to watch them as soon as poss and when i read the second summer of the sisterhood of the traviling pants i read it all in one day and yes i am realy a total book geek :D but i am proud of that and even when i go for a walk to the shops i read on the way and way back !!!!! with all the reading i do i think i will need glasses soon but i dont care :D ps i cant wait to hear if u eva write another book

all the best from renee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your books, but, I'm sad to say that the Polly, Ama, and Jo book trailer was very...Suckish. It wouldn't have made me want to read the book, and as from all the girls who saw the trailer on youtube, we ask that a better trailer be made. I mean your such a good author, and the girls are such great characters. I mean, I'm sorry but Ama isn't that pretty, Jo looks like she's ten years old, Tyler's not that hot, and Polly is "okay" but not the way you'd imagine. The whole thing reminds me of what they did to Twilight, they screwed it up.

sdfghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhghghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi, I'm a 13 year old from Massachusetts. I've read all the sisterhood books and then a couple weeks ago I read 3 willows. I thought it was one of the best books you've written. It might even my favoritest book ever!!!

Are you going to make the Three Willows into a series?
I'm a huge fan and cried when I finished your last Sisterhood Book.
I think they did a good job casting Lena. Bledel just really fits the role and I also really like her in Gilmore Girls.


I like your books a lot and I thought it was cool in Three Willows how you brought back Effie.
Hope you can answer my question.

love your books for forever and eternity,


Anne

p.s. we have the same name! YAY!

I got the sisterhood books for my birthday about 2 weeks ago and i have read the first 2 and a bit of the third one, i would have finished all of them by now but i dont want to finish the series because it is so good!!! they are the only books by ann brashares i have read so i was wondering if anyone can please recomend any to me because i have to do a class talk on an author and i want to do ann, but i need more books than one series totalk about so can someone please rreply!!! thanks

hi ann,I'm a Filipina,guess what?. I love reading all your books especially the "The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants" series. Honestly, I found out all about your books after I watched the movie, the sisterhood of the trvelling pants.I like it so much.I find it hard to get a copy of your latest book, the three willows.God Bless Ann and keep on writing more novels because, you were such an inspiration to us.

I just wanted to tell you how much i enjoyed the sisterhood of the traveling pants books. I just finished all four of them, and I didn't want them to end! I fell in love with the characters and their stories. I haven't read 3 Willows yet, but, I'm very anxious to read it now! Thanks for writing such entertaining books! :D

Sisterhood is the best series EVER its a MUST READ!

hello we are so proud to tell you that we are making a biography about you we r very proud of what we have come up with. we are not having trouble at all finding information about you thank you!!!!!!

Thank you Ann for writing books that are relatable to us teenagers. When you read that a character is experiencing the same dramas as you, it makes you feel at ease about it. I started reading the sisterhood of the travelling pants in 2007 and was extremely eager to start and finish the other books. They brought comfort to me, knowing that someone knows the things that we experience. You know that you're reading an outstanding book when you feel that the characters are your own friends. By far you are one of the best authors ever and I will continue to read your books now and into the future. Thank you for being such a big inspiration to myself.

Hi Ann,
I have read the whole sisterhood series and I really loved them. So I was so excited when I found out about 3 Willows! I read in in 2 days. I loved it also. I liked the new characters and the mention of the old ones. I really liked 3 Willows because I've been through some of the things they have. I was wondering if you were making it into a series too? I'd love to read another one. I'm an aspiring teen author and your work is very inspirational to me. Thank you for your wonderful books and keep writing.
I hope I'll be able to one day write as influential as you do.

Hello. I just needed to inform you that some elements of your web site are tricky to comprehend for me, as I am color blind. I suffer from deuteranopia, however there are other types of color blindness which will also get issues. I will read the largest part of the site Okay, and those elements I have difficulties with I can comprehend by using a adapted browser. Just the same, it'd be cool if you could bear in mind we color-blind folk when carrying out the next website revamp. Thanks.

Online article directories have gained in esteem during the last few years. The main reason for this are many SEO coupled features and possibilities an article directory has to offer to authors and content seekers. Some of the popular articles directories allow authors to submit their work for free while some cost a tiny one-time registration fee. Submit your articles to a business directory and get published within a day!
