Ellen Hopkins

I was searching my library near my house to read a book one day. I was looking for something new and then something in the corner of H authors caught my eye. There were huge books all lined up next to each other. I walk over and look at them. I pick up a book and see 'Ellen Hopkins: Impulse' I turn over the book and see the words
"Act
on your impulse
Swallow the bottle
Cut a little deeper
Put the gun to your chest "

And I was *gasps* "Oh my God. That must be some deep stuff." I even felt scared holding it. I felt my hand shake and quickly went to the counter to check it out. That's how I got started on these books. I then read Perfect and next Tilt. I still have a lot more to go and for some reason, my library doesn't carry Crank so I'll need to order it from a different library probably.
I want to thank you for accepting my friend request and that I absolutely love your books. You are such a good writer, it's scary. Continue to write.
By the way, I asked a question but I'm not sure you'll answer so I'll write it here: Are you going to write another book for Perfect? When I finished it, I felt like there were still a lot of unanswered questions.

Thanks for accepting my friend request Ellen!

I love your books and I look forward to reading more.

How come none of your books have been made into movies? Out of every YA author, ..."

I wish I knew, Joshalyn.... there is some interest now, so we'll see.

Thank you for accepting my friend request! I really like the Crank books and your writing style!

Ellen thanks so much for the add and for writing such wonderful books. I look forward to Rumble! I have read all of your stuff so far except for 3 of them, Smoke Tilt and Perfect. I will get to those soon.

Thank you so much for continuing to write! I really enjoy all of your books. The very first book that I read was "Burned", which I read in a day because I just couldn't put it down! I'm really excited to read smoke but I'm still on hold for it. :)

:-D I NEED TO RE-READ BURNED B/C THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST BOOKS I READ OF YOURS AND IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS!! OMG!

I do listen to my readers! Eventually, enough really wanted an ending to Pattyn's story that I decided to do it. Came away very satisfied, and I'm sure my readers will, too.

Well even if you didn't plan on writing a sequel to Burned I'm soooo glad you did. Burned was probably my favorite of all your books. I CANT wait to read it. PLEEEEASE continue writing, I've already read all of your books, and I'm re-reading crank. :D

What made you write a sequal to BURNED if you weren't going to? I was just curious. I love your books and can't get enough of them.

THANK YOU for the adding me as a friend. You are my favorite author and i LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you write! <3

Thank you for adding as a friend. I am currently reading 'Triangles' & am loving it & your style of writing. I started reading it quickly & then slowed down to savor it. I truly love your style of writing. It's so refreshing & unique.
Became aware of your books when I noticed my daughter reading 'Crank'. You now have two more fans.

I'm begging you to come to Ohio! Preferrably Dayton, Ohio. But I will drive anywhere in Ohio to get a book signed by you! :) It's a dream of mine to meet you, Ellen! <33

WOW, I just finished Impulse ... you are an amazing writer. It may sound strange, but I have been able to identify with most of the characters you write about...so far. I'm waiting for Glass to get here so I can start that one ... I can't wait!!! Stay warm and safe in this (my favorite) weather!!!
