The Princess Diaries | 
pickI've done something dangerous. I've started a 12 book series that I will have to obsessively read.
Dare I say that this is my favorite read of 2024?
The characters and their personalities are so different from the movies, it was hard picturing Julie Andrew's. And I LOVED that. This book was so unexpected and funny.
I didn't know that I gave permission to Meg Cabot to read my own personal diary!

Mia is prepared to sacrifice her happiness in order to secure Genovia's future,
Unforgettable scene in the movie, but honestly the old Mia will never change! Her spirit was raw and that what made the movie unforgettable, Lovely story of a girl growing up. Must Read/Watch.

pickI think it‘s odd how both of the books I‘ve read this year with movie adaptations have bad relationships that are not displayed in said movie. I would have like to seen Mia deal with her mother not being a responsible adult but, hey, it‘s a ten book series dot there‘s still time. Based on personal experience, it bugs me to hear a character complain about being flat chested the entire book, but I like the body sensitivity rep. For ⬇️
so-soThere are quite few “Are you there God? It‘s me Margaret.” moments with a “Clueless” feel. Not terribly deep but endearing.
Not my best color match for #Pantone2022 but close. Also completed my #Booked2022 prompt about a royal.

so-soSo, this book was very short, so it was easy to get through. But I really didn't enjoy it. I am not the right audience for this book. I haven't seen the movie in forever, so I have it on right now for background noise. #BookToMovie

I‘m really not enjoying this one. She is too awkward teen for me. Maybe I‘m too old for this one. Seriously thinking to DNF it but I‘m about 40% in

Q♦️- The Princess Diaries

They changed quite a bit of the story to make it Disney appropriate 🤣🤣
so-soI don't have much to say about this one. I liked it but didn't love it. It's nice for a light read in between some heavier stuff. I can imagine how it would be a great read for those who always wished they would become a princess later. For me it was more of an acknowledgement that I didn't want that.

so-soThe story might sound like a dream to most girls, but Cabot's protagonist is convinced this will be a nightmare for her. I liked that she touched on the potential downsides of the princess life in a way that felt true to the character & age group. At the same time, it didn't go deep enough for me, and often felt more like telling than showing. There's probably more to explore in future volumes, but I'm not convinced I want to continue.
pickMan, is this a throw back or what? Besides Harry Potter, Meg Cabot's The Princess Diaries was another book series that was very important in my life. It is so nice to return to the life of Mia Thermopolis. It is a little dated and Mia can be very naive, but that is exactly how teenagers act. But it was still a great read, it was really fun and just nostalgic for me. I think I'll enjoy this series. 4 out of 5
Meg Cabot is writing new diary entries for Mia on her blog. So far both days have really made me smile! Check them out! https://www.megcabot.com/2020/03/corona-princess-diaries-day-1/?utm_content=1231...
pickAdorable quick read finished in a few hours! The fact that Anne Hathaway narrates just makes it even more lovable!
pickA nice, quick read. I am one of the rare people who has not seen the adaptation, but I‘ve heard good things about it and the books. I love the concept (and that it‘s written as a diary!!) but I‘m not sure how I feel about Mia. I found her a bit annoying. Either way I still enjoyed it and look forward to reading the next book!
so-soThis was a wierd experience for me. So many things didn't feel right because I saw the movie a million times before I ever touched this book. New York?!
pickThis was a cute listen for my walks and drive to work. Very short and loved that it was narrated by Anna Hathaway!
(Must admit I liked the movie better!)
We all know this story - Mia finds out she is actually a princess - not just a regular high school student. I did really like her character and her interactions with everyone else in the story. Typical teenager.
Just definitely geared to a younger audience.
Falling asleep to this one tonight! Who else LOVED this book or movie as a preteen?! 💗💓💞

Wt if u were an ordinary girl and someone or your family member tells you that u r a princess, wt would your reaction be? Surprised , shocked , happy , sad , confused? . This happens with the school freak , Mia thermopolis.Her grandmother decides her looks and behaviour but it's not easy for Mia or Amelia .
Read this story of a freshman with whole country's responsibility.

pickWhen I first found this book in the YA section of the library, I have to admit that I was not convinced. Looking at the cover and reading the blurb about a girl who had just been told that she was a princess, I thought that I was years beyond it
However, giving it a chance was one of the best decisions that I made...the whole series is hilarious (and definitely not for young children!)
A perfect example of not judging a book by it's cover 😂
