An Interview with her Royal Highness Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, Crown Princess of Genovia(!!!!!)


The Romance Bookie:  Welcome Princess Amelia, it is an absolute pleasure having you here on The Romance Bookie!
HRH Amelia: Oh thank you, Mandy! I love The Romance Bookie, I read it all the time!  But please, do call me Mia.
TRB: Oh, of course Princ...I mean, Mia.  So to begin the interview  there is something I must know!  How is our wonderful Michael Moscovitz doing?
HRH Amelia Mia: Michael is great! He’s super busy, still promoting his invention, you know the Cardio Arm.  He’s sold a ton!  I’m just so extremely proud of him!
TRB: I can totally tell by that fabulous smile of yours! So how is school going at Sarah Lawrence?
Mia: Sarah Lawrence is absolutely wonderful! Everyone is extremely nice to both me and Lars...
 
(Grandmère, who decided to oversee the interview, in the background yells:  “Amelia, how many times must I tell you?  It is “Lars and me” NOT “me and Lars”! Goodness, have I taught you nothing?”)
 
Mia, ignoring her Grandmère, and giving me an apologetic look, continues: Luckily, I have a nice apartment a little ways off campus where I have my own space and LARS AND I (emphasis, looking at her Grandmère) don’t have to bud heads all the time, because he has his own space too. 
TRB: That does sound lovely!
Mia: Oh it is! Especially when Michael is actually in town! (giving me a little wink)
(Laughing) TRB: Oh I bet! So have you been in contact with anyone from high school, besides Michael of course.
Mia: Oh definitely! Lilly is busy at school, but we see each other a couple times a month.  Tina and I talk at least once a week, and usually discuss the latest romance book she’s reading.  Before you ask your next question, Boris and her are still going strong!  She refuses to take off the Tiffany’s Promise Ring he gave her.  And then of course there is Lana, who I became friends with my Senior year!  Lana  has been busy continuing to promote her single “Put It In My Candy Hole”.  It’s rising on the charts...in The Virgin Islands. 
TRB (laughing hysterically): Haha that’s ironic!
Mia: I know right?!
TRB: So have you spoken to Meg lately?  I am VERY excited about her newest book, Size 12 and Ready to Rock! Do you plan on reading it?
Mia: Of course!! Meg and I just talked the other day! She’s doing very well, super busy with editing and working on a few new projects (including a NEW Mediators book, which I’m really looking forward to!).  I’m definitely looking forward to Size 12 and Ready to Rock!  Heather and I are really close! I mean, first off, we have that whole thing in common where Meg-wrote-our-life-stories, and then of course, we both know about being in the public eye all the time (Heather, being a former pop-star and all).  Heather is just now getting back to her music.  She’s been performing a bit around New York City, in small clubs and venues.  We’re actually meeting for lunch next week!
TRB: Well, I sure wish I could be there! New York City is 100% my dream destination one day! I definitely want to see a Broadway show there!
Mia: Oh you must! Let me know, when you come into the city, and I’ll grab us four tickets for Beauty and the Beast, and we’ll get Heather to come along, and maybe even Meg if she’s in town!
TRB (practically jumping out of her seat with excitement): Oh really?! That sounds awesome! Well, thank you SO much Mia for being here today with us at The Romance Bookie!  It has been an absolute pleasure, and you’ve definitely proven to me, we are so much alike! Oh and THANKS for being my best friend in high school!
Mia: Oh Mandy of course! High school is such a tough place, and Meg definitely had my life story on the dot about how high school is!

Mia was absolutely amazing to talk to! That girl and I are meant to be BFFs I swear!! After the video chat, Mia had to run off with Boris and Grandmère for a pressing Top-Secret matter, but not before we discussed future plans of seeing Beauty and the Beast on Broadway together!!

She had such manners too, but at the same time still had her unique spunk! 

THANKS MIA!! And I hope to talk to you soon again!

So now to this week's recap!

 Like I said above this week had some really awesome posts! I enjoyed reading each and everyone of them, including one I COMPLETELY forgot to mention in last weeks post!

We had Alex over at A, Girl, Books, and Other Things who posted TWICE this week with two fun posts, including a review of a Mediator book, and her Meg experience! Then there was Larissa over at Cabot's Stuff, which is an ENTIRE Tumblr dedicated to Meg Cabot (!!!) How awesome is that??!!, James over at Book Chic had his Meg Story to share. Bibliojunkies has both a review of Size 12 and Ready to Rock AND a story of WHY she loves Meg Cabot! Katie over at The Queen of Teen Fiction who shared why Meg changed her reading life. PLUS Diana over at Little Miss Drama Queen had a special Quoteable Quotes Post dedicated to Meg-A Readers!

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
