oh, hey I love these new covers!
It's great that Ashley has such staying power that she's worthy of new covers. And when are you going to do another Ashley book? Hmm?
A prisoner of hope,
Megan
Pick me! Pick me!
Please?

I love "She's All That," so I'm sure I'll love the others.
The covers are neat.
Marion
Aw, such a cute picture! SO exciting that you're giving a set away. I think you should pick me, but then again I'm biased.
Guess we'll see. =)
qcbjntxHey Kristin,
Absolutely love the new covers and the series. Good job!!!!!!
Thanks for the enthusiasm girls! I'm excited they're getting cute, new covers -- as are the Spa Girls, but I'm really partial to the cartoon by Anne Keenan Higgins for Ashley. Those were the bomb. : )
Elle is so cute, she looks like a young Mary-Kate or Ashley. I personally love the original covers, but I would love to give my friend a signed copy of your books instead of always giving her my hand-me-downs. LOVE LOVE the Ashley Stockingdale books!!
I love your Ashley Stockingdale books! When I first read What a Girl Wants, it reminded me so much of my friend Ashley who wanted to be a lawyer and had a best friend named Seth. I gave her a copy of your book for her birthday, and now she loves your books too! I would be so excited if I could win the full set of your series.
Thank you,
Rebekah
Elle--I sure hope you draw my name!! I love your Mom's books, and would treasure these new ones.
Cute pick of you two. I love the Ashley books too and thought the original covers were darling.
Thanks for entering me in the contest!
Suzanne
Ashley is one of my all time fave characters! I love the new set! :) I'd love to own a set for my very own :)
I would love it!
The new covers are such fun. Enter me, enter me :-)
I would LOVE these covers! Ever since I read What a Girl Wants, I've told everyone I know that I want to be Kristen when I grow up! I love Ashley!
Your books are AMAZING!!! When the Ashley series came out my friend (who manages the bookstore at our church) said I absolutely had to read the books. So I began what some now like to call an addiction. They're so great because as a single Christian young adult I can relate to so many things in your books. Anyway, we just keep passing them around an getting more and more people "addicted" to your writing. Don't stop!!! <3
Hey, if you want to be me when you grow up, you don't want to grow up. I like that in a person. ; )
Great! I love your books they are all awesome!!!!
Ashley Stockingdale is the character most similar to of any book I've read. So pick me! Pick me!
Pick me please!
I love the old covers but would love to have a set of the new ones autographed by you. :) Enter me please.
Congrats on the new cover, Kristin! thanks for blessing all of us with the books and allowing the Lord to use you! (btw, you don't need to pick me as I already have your set, so feel free to pass the blessing on to another, I just wanted to say 'congrats' and 'thnx')
Have fun choosing a winner, Elle!
Yay! New covers!! Rachel
Hi girls! Cute Picture! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ashley Novels! I'm so addicted! Ashley is becomming my morning coffee, Must read...cant put down! LOL!! No really, My only hope is to become such a great christian writer like you kristen. Your work is inspiring and so much fun to read and better then daytime soap's. :) I would love to have a signed copy of an Ashley Novel, Although I too am partcial to the cartoon covers, but these new ones look fab and much deserved!!
Pick me please!!!
Marcie
Loved that series, Kristin...and I'd be delighted to have a signed set to give away so I don't have to share the ones I have! ;0)
I agree Kristin! The old covers are great! But hey I want to stay up with Ashleys new covers, and plus I use my chic books as my room decoration, so why not have two sets of the same books??? I can start my Ashley Stockingdale collection of each new set of covers that come out - after all they are my fav series... to have you sign them? I would be stoked!
Belinda-Jane
Liked the old covers but the new ones are great, too!
Cool new covers. I have never liked reading and I have never read a book for fun until a friend of mine bought me the first Ashley book. I read the first book in like a week and then went and bought the others. By the time I got to "With This Ring...I Am Confused" I was so wrapped up in the book it took me a week to finish the last chapter because I didnt want the books to end. So now that there are new covers I want to read them again. HEHE!

Hey the new covers look great (but the cartoon ones are fab too) I so need another set of these books because my set is always being 'borrowed' by friends and I never get to read them (over and over again like I love to) I really hope you write another Ashley book - seems like there is a lot of fans out there who would love one. :-)
I loved "With this ring..." and it was just included yesterday in a stack of uplifting books for my friend to read after her hip-replacement surgery. I'd love to check out the others, so pick me :-)
Are you sure you aren't going to go another one?
I forgot to mention... enter me! enter me! I wanna win! :o)
I miss Ashley but I love the new covers!
Basically this series is my life, except I haven't found that Mr right yet... I would love to be picked, but there are so many great candidates on this page. Hard to choose, but here's to hoping!
~Melissa
Ooh! How exciting! I'll have to get new copies since I currently share mine with my sister, and she lives in Philly now!
ok so I'm a ginormous fan of your books Kristen, but you already know that!! :-) I would love a new set, but since I already have 2! LOL... I would love to donate them to our book club here at church though... we're trying to start one, and these would be a great place to start! You could even come visit us! We're just east of Sacramento! That's... well, a 3 hour drive from you... or more... hahaha... oh well.. LOL.. Great new covers though! WOOHOO!! and seriously, i second that motion to commission you to write a 4th Ashley book. What would she name her children???
I love Ashley Stockingdale!! And 2 of my 3 are loaned out and may never return!! I've got my fingers crossed!!
And I'm agreeing with the other Annie- we need a 4th Ashley book!! Great same-named minds think alike.
Thanks,
Annie
I'm here to drive the odds up for winning and someone said free books from a favorite author!
I am with you, Kristin, in that I love the illustrations from your old book covers. I still have my magnet on the fridge from the first series because I live in a house full of men! This is my girly thing (also have a Power Puffs Girls magnet that says, "Back off boys!" ha
I would love a new copy so that I could share an old copy with a friend. :)
Oh, pick me! Pick me!! =)
Oh my, I'd love to win these! I have read the first one and have the other two in my wish list, and I want them so much :)
SO, would I be "hoarding" to hope for another set of your Ashley Stockingdale series???
Actually having another set would mean, as others have said...that I could keep my cute cartoon ones (I'm partial too) here at home! OK, yeah, that does sound a little like hoarding doesn't it??
My current set has travelled cross-country twice, once with my sister, and again with a friend. I had a guest from Sweden once who had time while she was here to read the first, then bought the entire set at a local christian bookstore to take home with her!
The Ashley series is my favorite series of all time! I also love the Spa Girls series. :) Monday, Oct. 29th is my 23rd birthday, so that would be really awesome and such a blessing to me. Yay! Thanks :)
Kristin,
I would love to win these books!! I loved the original covers, but these are way cute, too.
I would love to win!
Wow! 45 comments so far--guess winning is a long shot. But you never know. Count me in! Kris, I've finally gotten the chance to read one of your novels. We can't find them here in Greece, but a new teen in our church, an American whose dad is stationed here for a few years, brought SPLIT ENDS. She's been passing it around to the other gals, and they adore you. Yesterday, I finally got my chance at reading the book. What fun!
If I won, I'd pay for the overseas shipping.
Elle and I forgot to pick this morning because...well, she wanted a ponytail and you know, a girl has to do what a girl has to do, so we'll pick when she gets home from school. : ) Kristin
Does that mean I still have a chance! :)
Thats so COOL that there is new covers! Congrats on the re-release!
I'd love a copy of the books! The covers are great but I do like the original too. :)
Me, Me, ME!!!!!
aawwwwww I just got online today.
And look at all I missed!
Whimpering away now..
