The Romance Bookie

Second book done during my summer break, and it's only week 2!!! Okay, okay, so it was a short novella, but it was a Meg Cabot novella, so of course it had to be read of course!! I finished it no time! From Goodreads: Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison never thought that being a real life PRINCESS OF GENOVIA could ever be boring, but with all of the news vans and paparazzi staked out in front of the palace, the whole family has been on lockdown for weeks.  So when Grandmere suggests a shopping trip to buy a small present for Princess Mia, Olivia jumps at the chance -- especially since the shopping trips comes with the promise of lunch at the Royal Genovian Yacht Club (makers of the best ice cream sundae in the world)! Surely nothing could go wrong with such a simple day out, could it? A quick shopping trip with her royal Grandmere turns into a much bigger deal than Olivia Grace, the newest Princess of Genovia expected in this e-short edition to Meg Cabot's i...

Hey Everyone!! Oh it is good to be back!  It's Day 1 of summer break (at least from school work) and I've already finished my first book!  I'm hoping to get time to read quite a bit this summer! I've missed it, and The Romance Bookie! Of course, since a new Meg Cabot book came out last week, I knew I had to make it my first summer read for 2016! It is sadly also the first book I have completed since February 26th!!  How sad!! But anyway, time for the review!! From Goodreads: You are invited to a Genovian Royal Wedding in this second book pulled FROM THE NOTEBOOKS OF A MIDDLE SCHOOL PRINCES, a Princess Diaries  spin-off series, written and illustrated by New York Times- bestselling author Meg Cabot. Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison still finds it hard to believe that she's a real live PRINCESS OF GENOVIA.  Not only does she get to live in an actual palace with her newly discovered family and two fabulous poodles (who all love her and thi...

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 ado...

Hey Everyone! I'm sorry it's been a while! School started five and a half weeks ago, along with my second job at the elementary school, so life has become just a tad crazy again.  Anyway, I've got a review for you!  I just finished The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell  by Chris Colfer! Instead of giving you the Goodreads description this time around, I'm actually going to give you my own description, because personally I feel the Goodreads one, just doesn't do the book justice! From  Goodreads The Land of Stories: The Wishing Spell  by Chris Colfer is one of those books that if you love fairytales, you will not forget!  It is the story of Conner and Alex Bailey, twin siblings who are very different, but end up going on an incredible journey they will never forget.  When their grandmother gives them the fairytale book, that their deceased father used to read to them, for their birthday, neither of them expects to be literally pulled into t...

 Today I am a stop on the Eve Hallows Blog Tour, which is hosted by I am a Reader, Not a Writer ! EVE HALLOWS AND THE BOOK OF SHRIEKS (BOOK 1) For fourteen-year-old Eve Hallows, life can be summed up in one word—horrible.  She has the most horrible friends.  She lives in a horrible old castle.  Even her family is a bunch of horrible monsters. However, in the monster-inhabited world of Gravesville—a world where messages are sent through Ouija boards, jack-o’-lanterns get facials to suit their moods, and the worst thing Eve has to deal with are those annoying zombie tourists who overrun her favorite graveyard during the Halloween season—horrible means wonderful.  And everything for Eve is perfectly horrible. But her life is about to go head over heels when a mysterious group known as The Source starts terrorizing Gravesville.  Now she must move to the human world—where everything is opposite ... and for Eve, that's absolutely adora...

The Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-Thon has OFFICIALLY started!! Jude along with Jen are hosting this fun shin-dig! And even though my summer doesn't end until the 27th of this month, I'm still sad that summer is coming to a close this fast! ;(. In three weeks, it's time for textbook reading, long hours on the computer doing unfun stuff, talking about politics (BLUH! I'm taking Poli-Sci this semester), and learning...okay so the learning thing isn't too bad! But anyway, here's my review for my first #SWUR book! The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling has literally been sitting on my bookshelf since its release in 2008! I just haven't the chance to read it, until now! Honestly, that is a terrible excuse, I will admit that; because this book is SO SHORT!! Anyway, so if you haven't heard of this book, which if you're a Harry Potter fan, then I'm sure you have, then let me tell you a bit about it. The Tales of Beedle the Bard was first me...

I was given an ARC of Starring Me by Krista McGee via Netgalley a couple of months ago.  I read Krista's first novel First Date ( Review Here! ) back in January, and thought it was a very cute story.  So when I saw Krista's second novel Starring Me on Netgalley I didn't hesitate to request it right away! Then when I was contacted by the publisher this past week, to possibly take into consideration of reviewing this book, I couldn't resist!  So as soon as I finished my last book, I picked up my beautiful lovely Kindle, and started reading. Starring Me was released on July 10th, and is the story of Kara.  Kara was Addy's roommate in First Date , and while both Addy and Kara didn't win the date with the President's son, Addy did win the President's son's heart, and Kara has just been given the chance of a life time! The chance to be the star of a new Comedy teen Variety show! In competition with nine other girls, Kara is forced to endure one v...

So today as I was at the elementary school I volunteer at, I was handed Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick (the author of The Invention of Hugo Cabret ). I just LOVED Hugo , both the movie and book, ( Review Here ) and so I knew I had to read Wonderstruck . This book was amazing!  Absolutely beautiful, just like The Invention of Hugo Cabret was.  It was like reading two stories in one, that ended up colliding together and fitting perfectly like the last piece in a puzzle. Wonderstruck takes place in 1977, and it's the story of Ben, a boy who has just lost his mother, and is living with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousin.  One night, when a storm starts Ben sees a light in his mother's room, in the house across from his Aunt and Uncle's.  When he goes to see what it is, he finds a surprise.  Expecting the impossible, Ben is left disappointed, but as he is left alone in the room he starts looking around his mother's room and finds somethings that are clues to someo...
