A lot of readers when asked what books first got them into reading will say Harry Potter or Twilight but for me it was The Princess Diaries when I was 12 years old. It was an experience that I remember till this day, 9 years later, it got me hooked and never let me go. I’ve read and reread these books so many times that I have lost count years ago. Y’all listen... the audiobook was available at my library and it was narrated by Anne Hathaway and I was feeling nostalgic. Mia Thermopolis lives in Manhattan with her artist mother Helen, going to a private school called Albert Einstein High and spending the summers with her father and his mother at her chateau in France. She knows they're rich, but she thinks her dad is just a politician. At school she's unpopular and has "triangular" hair; her best friend Lilly has her own tv show and is trying to expose the racism of the Chinese owners of the deli across the road for discounting Asian students 5 cents; she's in love with the most popular boy at school, Josh, who doesn't even seem to know she's alive; she's failing Algebra; and her mum is going out with her teacher Mr Gianini.

The Crais family. Finnula's siblings have distinct personalities and I would have liked to see more of them. My teenage years were spent with Princess Diaries books. I kid you not - I can chart my progress through puberty with them. I desperately wanted combat boots (I owe my love for boots to Mia, really), wanted a Michael, wanted a Fat Louie, but most importantly just related so much to Mia (though I'd rather not be a princess!). While I've had my problems with the series (see: the seventh through ninth books), it's still one of my favourite guilty pleasures ever. Mia whines and whinges and wonders why everything happens to her. ( Yeah, Mia…my heart bleeds for your plight) Princess in the Spotlight – 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.

Meg is now writing a new children's series called Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls. Her new paranormal series, Abandon, debuts in Summer of 2011. I don't understand why the author decided to write 20 more chapters after the initial romance came to a conclusion. To me, this book consists of only 10 chapters. I don't want to read more of it and ruin the enjoyment I felt. For life, you never know where the road will take you. Yours took you to a place where you got the diamond shoes, but now all you can say is “Ow! These diamond shoes! They fit so tight and hurt so much!” No one wants to hear about how tight your diamond shoes fit. You got the diamond shoes! Many people, they have no shoes at all.’ We never got a resolution to the Lars-Lilly thing. Why was she so anti-men all of a sudden? We never found outAre You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret” in Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading (July 2009) In the 2001 Disney Movie, Lilly, portrayed by Heather Matarazzo, is portrayed as intelligent, confident, and socially conscious. Her talk show is called "Shut Up and Listen". She is then a student at Berkeley. In The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Mia appoints Lilly as her royal secretary. Going into this, I wasn't expecting much. Almost everyone knows the plot of The Princess Diaries, especially considering that it was turned into a pair of movies a while ago. When Mia learns that she's the heir to a small European nation, she's not looking forward to everything that entails. Ultimately, the book is short and fun but I don’t think it was necessary for Princess Mia’s legacy. Obviously, this is a book about how fictional “haves” survived the pandemic, frequently with Mia downing wine at 11 am, predicting that the next book will probably be called: Rehab Princess. I was sad that Princess Mia had given up being a vegetarian/pescatarian because that seemed like an ideal she should have maintained and such an easy one to keep. But she does keep her friends and realizes just how important family and friends are. And maybe that’s the most important conclusion that the pandemic brought to us all.

It was also hilarious to look at some of these characters due to spoiler purposes, and sobering too (especially if you read about a certain character’s death from the excerpt posted from Royal Wedding).Now as an adult reader, I do find it kind of interesting and fun that with regard to Mia’s issues throughout The Princess Diaries with her best friend Lily Moscovitz and her staunchly traditional and Genovian nobility grandmother, while these two characters at first appear to be rather majorly different, well, with regard to their arrogance, obstinacy and their my way or the proverbial highway kind of Weltanschauung both Lilly and Grandmère are actually annoyingly similar but with the main issues being that at the end of The Princess Diaries Lili Moscovitz apologises to Mia and sees the errors of her ways whereas the Mia’s grandmother dies not and likely never will. Girl’s Guide to New York Through the Movies” in Metropolis Found (August 2003)New York Is Book Country But no - we have instead a goofy resolution in which Michael swoops in to save Mia as she’s trying to persuade an antivaxxer relative to see the light. The thing is, Mia’s idea was good! She brings a former antivaxxer relative, a peer of this one, to explain why Covid is a genuine threat. We all know that quoting scientific facts like Michael often doesn’t convince antivaxxers, so would it not have been more effective to both make Mia’s strategy work AND reinforce how socially and verbally intelligent she is???? I guess the goopy love declaration and the kiss at the end are supposed to do that for us!
