    Thank you for accepting my request. Now I can stay informed :)
    I really love your books - the way they are written. They are kind of addicting. I just grab a book and don't put it down before it's over. It would be great if more people in my country had the chance to read your books but unfortunately none of them is neither published, nor imported here. Nobody in the bookstores has ever heard about them... I had to order the books I wanted from the USA. Well, they were worth the effort :) Especially "Wintergirls".
    Thank you again and have a nice day!

    Hi,
    I bet you get messages like this all the time. But I just have to add another one. Your books are just incredible. They made up most of the large stack of books I selected very carefully to take to college with me. I bought Wintergirls at the beginning of the summer, and I've read it about four times already. Speak's still my favorite, but Wintergirls struck a chord in me as well. After reading it the first two times, I thought, "If Lia has the courage to pick herself up, so do I." I got inpatient help recently and have since made a dramatic recovery.  Thanks to your book, I'm no longer a wintergirl.
    You are a genius.
    Many thanks,
    ~Rebecca

    I read Wintergirls recently, and I loved it.
    It was heartbreaking and very hard to read due to that, but I couldn't stop reading. You could really feel the emotions of Lia, her struggle with anorexia and dealing with Cassie. That's what made this book so very real to me. The emotions, and how you captured them oh, so perfectly like you always do.
    I have to admit, this was one of my favorite books from you.
    Congratulations on all of your success, and thank you for being such an inspiration for me. (:

    It was awesome to meet you! I can't wait to read Wintergirls. That's the bad part about the summer. We get summer reading. 3 books! Good thing I like to read. =)

    Hope to see you again at some point in the future!

    i have to say, i just read Wintergirls for the third time and i loved it even more. i have been diagnosed with anorexia and bulimia and have recently relapsed once again. Wintergirls gives me hope that theres is always hope of recovering once again. Your an amazing writer, i also adore your books Speak (i pretty much have memorized it), Prom, and Twisted.
    you write in such a poetic and lyrical way. Its incredible. KEEP WRITING!!! (:

    you're a great writer--not an author a writer--anyone can be an author but to be a writer you gotta be born for it and you certainly were made for the job--i loved speak--melinda really got through to a lot of ppl at my school even if they wont admit they actually they really read a book

    i'm a writer and your book " speak" has inspired me to want to reach out and write stories that can save people's lives. it was such a sad story, but it is true to some people's lives.

    Hello Ms. Anderson! I had the pleasure of meeting you last year at ALA, and I just wanted to let you know that I just finished "Wintergirls" and it was amazing! It was so beautifully haunting and brilliantly written. I don't know how you do it and I cannot wait to share Lia and Cassie's story with the girls in my school library! Thanks again for knowing exactly how to get in a teens head and knowing how to express their hopes, fears, and issues on paper. You make my job so easy!
