From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess by Meg Cabot (ARC Review)

Hey Everyone!



Yay, my first official Meg-A Readers 2015 post (besides the kick-off!)!!!!! :)


So I can't believe it happened, but I received an ARC of Meg Cabot's newest series, From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess back in February thanks to Meg and Harper Collins!!!

No seriously...THANK YOU MEG!!! AND HARPER COLLINS!!!

You have no idea what an honor it was to have received any ARC from Meg Cabot!!! My absolute favorite author of all time!!!!!!!!! It was completely surreal when this book slid out of that envelope!!

Anyway, I've got a review for you!!! :)

From Goodreads:


In FROM THE NOTEBOOKS OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCESS a new middle grade series, readers will see Genovia, this time through the illustrated diaries of a spunky new heroin, 12 year old Olivia Grace, who happens to be the long lost half-sister of Princess Mia Thermopolis. 



My Thoughts:

Oh goodness how cute!! No joke!  I am 23 years old and thought this was absolutely adorable!!  I truly loved it!!  It is absolutely perfect for young readers! I am actually really looking forward to recommending it to the kids at the elementary school I work at!

Olivia, I just know, is going to turn out as awesome and perfect as Mia has throughout The Princess Diaries!!! I just know it!!

Meg is honestly just so diversely talented! She can write for any age group!  Elementary School (Allie Finkle), Middle School (From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess), High school (with her many many young adult novels, Princess Diaries just being one of them!), and adult (Royal Wedding is also only one of her many adult novels!!  Plus she writes Historical Romances!!!!!!

Honestly amazing!!

I can never give enough praise to Meg, because she will always amaze me!  No joke!

Anyway, I HIGHLY recommend this one!!

Olivia really is a cutie! And I can't wait to find out more about how her life in Genovia turns out!  Her  aunt and uncle seriously made me angry!!!  I kind of hope something else goes their way!  What they did was terrible, and so not okay!

I also loved seeing Mia play protective big-sister!  She did a great job!

Overall rating...

Absolutely a really cute start to a sure to be great series!! I am really looking forward to picking up my finished copy!!!! It came out TODAY!!!! :)

Ugh...so close to the release of Royal Wedding too!!!!!!!!!!

    A great book. Shhhh, don't tell anyone but I was looking forward to this book more than Royal Wedding. :) I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out so we can see what it's like for Olivia in Genovia.

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 reconnects with succe

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 Cabret I didn't have to imagine.  T

Hey Everyone! Can I just say I had one of the most amazing nights Friday night!! So rewind.... Let's start from the beginning... Once upon a time my fabulous mom and I went on a little road trip.  We left at 1:00 p.m. the house, with directions in hand that told us it would take about 2 hrs. and 20 minutes to get there. Well, thanks to the beautiful view of Los Angeles traffic, and the most crappy directions EVER, it took almost SIX hours to get there!!!!!!!!!! No freaking joke!!! Mapquest SKIPPED a step on the directions so we ended up going on the wrong freeway, and getting over an hour off track!! Thanks to wonderful lady at A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe , who had the technology needed to actually travel, not just paper directions, we were able to find our way back on track!! The event was supposed to start at 6 p.m., and we didn't arrive at the Mission Viejo Library until almost 7. When my mom and I drove into the parking lot of the library, do you know wha
