Hey Everyone! :) Happy Meg-A Readers Day!! From Goodreads : Mia would give all the jewels in Genovia for the perfect present Every year, Princess Mia spends the holidays in Genovia with Grandmère. This year, she's looking forward to the most perfect Christmas ever: her boyfriend, Michael, and her best friend, Lilly, are coming to Genovia, too. But even a princess's plans can go awry. Lilly has a lot to learn about palace protocol, and with all the state holiday functions Mia must attend, there's no time to linger under the mistletoe with Michael. Worst of all, Mia hasn't been able to find him the perfect gift. Can Mia stop her (bah-hum)bugging long enough to see that the perfect present has nothing to do with international express courier -- and everything to do with real love? (Though some shiny silver ribbon never hurts ...) My Thoughts: I love that Meg made these little novella's inbetween!  They are so adorable, and fun to read, especially ...

Meg-A Readers Week!! Day 4!!! Before I get to my first review of the day, I just want to say... HAPPY MEG CABOT DAY!!!!!!!! Yes, today is seriously Meg Cabot Day!!!! The mayor of Bloomington, Indiana (the hometown of Meg!) pronounced July 31st, Meg Cabot Day!!   Today's first review is of Meg's 6th book in the Princess Diaries Series, Princess in Training ! From Goodreads : Princess for president! Student body president, that is -- nominated by her power-mad best friend, Lilly. This is not how Mia imagined kicking off her sophomore year, but as usual, she has bigger problems to worry about, like Geometry. And now that Mia's one true love, Michael, is uptown at college, what's the point of even getting up for school in the morning? But the last straw is what Lana whispers to her on the lunch line about what college boys expect of their girlfriends. . . . Really, it's almost more than a princess in training can bear! My Thoughts: As most of yo...

Day 3 Part of Meg-A Readers Week!! :) Princess In Pink, #5 in The Princess Diaries Series!! :) From Goodreads : Princess Mia is dreaming about the prom - and contending with a hotel workers' strike - in the fifth, supremely hilarious episode of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries. This time, Mia's in the pink about the upcoming Albert Einstein H.S. prom, and she's crossing her fingers that Michael will ask her to go. (They're in love, so why wouldn't he ask her, right?) But during Seven Minutes in Heaven at her b-day party, Mia learns that Michael is not the prom-going type. Good grief, what's a princess to do?   To make matters worse, Grandmere has gotten a busboy fired due to a mishap with her pooch, Rommel, at a swanky restaurant, so when all of the city's busboys go on strike, it causes a chain of events that result in Grandmere crashing at Mia's mom's place, her pal Lilly Moscovitz picking up a picket sign, and the prom being brought ...

Day 3 of Meg-A Readers Week! From Goodreads : Princess Mia and her friends volunteer to build a house for the less fortunate during their Spring Break. My Thoughts: This is such a fun short read that can be read in under an hour.  I think it took me like 20 minutes to get through! It's only about 50 pages long.  Of course it's very cute...it's Meg Cabot after all! Mia is her normal teenager self in this one.  Only interested in one thing...Michael.  Or to be more specific...making out with Michael. Does she get her wish? Or is this Spring Break a bust?  Find out in Project Princess  #4.5 in The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot! Overall rating: If you're a fan of The Princess Diaries, then check this one out definitely! I personally think you'll have to have read the previous novels in The Princess Diaries Series in order to understand the back ground for this one, only because otherwise this book might seem a little boring, be...

Day 2 Part 2 of Meg-A Readers Week! :) Do you want to know what I love most about The Princess Diaries Series ? Probably the fact, that while sometimes Mia's complaining about life may seem juvenile to some, in the end it pretty much a day-by-day playback of my thoughts back in high school. Does he like me? OMG he's looking at me, do I have something on my face? Those may not be the word-for-word thoughts Mia had, but in the end the I, along with thousands of other girls in high school, had the exact same insecurity issues that Mia had.  Heck! In fact, I still have them sometimes!! I'm wondering if Mia will still these issues in next years release of the 11th Princess Diaries book??!! From Goodreads : Never before has the world seen such a princess. Nor have her own subjects, for that matter. Mia's royal introduction to Genovia has mixed results: while her fashion sense is widely applauded, her position on the installation of public parking mete...

Day 2 of Meg-A Readers Week!! Princess In Love, the third Princess Diaries, by Meg Cabot is my absolute favorite book in the entire world!!!!! Coming from a book lover, I understand how crazy that sounds! I know, trust me! But when you've read a book three billion times (okay, not quite that much, but probably at least a dozen times) and you still haven't gotten tired of it, you know it's your favorite book!! From Goodreads: Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo may seem the luckiest girl ever.She's a princess, for starters. She also lives in New York City. And while she's no supermodel, mirrors do not crack at her reflection. Best of all, she finally has a boyfriend. The truth is, however, that Mia spends all her time doing one of three things: preparing for her nerve-racking entree into Genovian society under the slave-driving but elegant Grandmere, slogging through congestion unique to Manhattan in December, and avoiding further ...

Still Day One of Meg-A Readers!! From Goodreads : No one ever said being a princess was easy. Just when Mia thought she had the whole princess thing under control, things get out of hand, fast. First there's an unexpected announcement from her mother. Then Grandmère arranges a national primetime interview for the brand-new crown princess of Genovia. On top of that, intriguing, exasperating letters from a secret admirer begin to arrive. Before she even has the chance to wonder who those letters are from, Mia is swept up in a whirlwind of royal intrigue the likes of which hasn't been seen since volume I of The Princess Diaries. My Thoughts: In the second book in the Princess Diaries, Princess in the Spotlight , Mia gets a secret admirer!  We are all hoping it's her secret crush...Michael Moscowitz...but to find out you'll either have had to read the book already, or go out right now and get it and read it to find out for yourself! :) Plus the news her ...

Not that all of Meg's books aren't exciting! But it's just the books being released next year, are ones that some of us Meg Cabot fans have been waiting YEARS to read...Almost six for me! What are they? Well... NOT just ONE BUT TWO new Princess Diaries  books are coming out next year!!!!! One is another journal by my all-time favorite character, Mia Thermopolis!!! Could Michael and her finally be ty...

Hey Everyone!! So it's been a busy, yet super exciting year so far, so I thought, because it's been a while since I've done a video, that I'd do one to update you all! :) For those you not too interested in watching a boring video, I just discuss some of the events that have happened this year, both book related and on a personal level. On the personal level, I'm right now in my second month of summer break.  I've got about a month left now, it's going by so ridiculously fast!  Come end of August, I'll be starting my last year at city college and hopefully applying to transfer next year to the university I really hope to go to.  I've also been a relationship for a little over a year now with an amazing guy.  We celebrated a year together in June :). What with work, school, and fun times with friends and loved ones, it's been a crazy busy year, that's why my reading goal has dropped tremendously.  Something, I'm a...

Hey Everyone!! :) Today I've got a review for Boomerang  by Noelle August! From Goodreads : The first book in a sensational New Adult trilogy from Noelle August Welcome to Boomerang.com, the dating site for the millennial gen with its no-fuss, no-commitments matchups, and where work is steamier than any random hook-up Mia Galliano is an aspiring filmmaker.

And second, they’re now competitors for only on...

***WARNING*** ***This book contains content not suitable for anyone under the age of 18!!! You've been warned!!*** Hey Everyone! I've finally caught up on the Inside Out Series by Lisa Renee Jones! Now I can officially read the newest one, No Inbetween ! Anyway, I finished His Secrets , which is recommended to be read before reading No Inbetween , because it somehow connects to the story. From Goodreads : An Inside Out story, Chris's POV In a world where my only escape has been my art, Sara has been the light in my darkness. And there is darkness, the kind of inky black that can bleed from my life to hers. She doesn't see it. She doesn't understand what I've shown her. And my biggest fear is that soon...she will. My Thoughts: It was a little odd, reading in the point of view of Chris, because I'm so used to reading from Sara's view.  I got a little confused sometimes, because something kind of masculine would be mentioned and I'd...

From Goodreads : ***   The Master Undone   is a part of the   Inside Out   trilogy, and is told from his POV. *** I told him goodbye, and I will not call him.

A beautiful and twisted story of first love and innocence lost--written when the author was just eighteen.  Sphinxie and Cadence. Promised to each other in childhood. Drawn together again as teens.

Now, as his illness progresses, he becomes increasingly demanding. She wants to be loyal--but fears for her life. Only the ultimate sacrifice will give this love an ending. Erin's Thoughts on  Breaking Butterflies  by M. Anjelais: I hate to give a less than glowing review, but sometimes it is what it is :(.  I was really intrigued by the premise of this story and it seemed like it had a lot of potential, but unfortunately, this fell short for me by a long ways.  In my opinio...

Hey Everyone! :) Miranda Kenneally is one my favorite authors!  She's one of those authors where I will read their latest novel as soon as they are released!  I've reviewed all of her novels! I just can't get enough of her books! Well, thanks to Netgalley I got the amazing opportunity to review an ARC copy of Breathe, Annie, Breathe  #5 in The Hundred Oaks Series! From Goodreads : Annie hates running. No matter how far she jogs, she can’t escape the guilt that if she hadn’t broken up with Kyle, he might still be alive. So to honor his memory, she starts preparing for the marathon he intended to race. But the training is even more grueling than Annie could have imagined. Despite her coaching, she’s at war with her body, her mind—and her heart. With every mile that athletic Jeremiah cheers her on, she grows more conflicted.
