Touted as a YA HF novel, I think it‘s more MG level, Scholastic book. Told from POV of Anastasia, these are diary entries which detail the story of Czar Nicholas and his family.

TheBookgeekFrau I bought this years ago for my daughter and ended up reading it myself. I loved it! Not sure if my daughter ever got around to reading it though 🤔😂 2y
Eggs I learned something new: Then-Prince of Wales Edward (pre abdication, pre Wallis) had his eye on Anastasia‘s older sister Olga. I believe they were distant cousins. @TheBookgeekFrau 2y
TheBookgeekFrau @Eggs The Royal world is a small world 👑😄 2y
JenDR I read this earlier this year. Found it at a thrift store and thought it would be a good palette cleanser between other books. Really liked it and now am trying to track down the other ones in the series. 1y
Eggs I didn‘t realize that Meyer had written so MANY books like this! @JenDR 1y

If anyone is ever getting rid of their hardback copies of these, please send them my way! I was just telling @Laalaleighh about them and how much I LOVED them as a kid and I am so sad I only have 5 of them. They have 36 in the Dear America set, 20 in the Royal Diaries set, and 19 in the Journal set. So basically I have 5 out of 75 lol I hate that they did new covers for them, I like the originals SO much 😍

Bookquilter I had some of these for a while when I thought I was going to have a little girl... I will look to see if they are still in the garage... I can't remember giving them away but I might of in one of my "why hold on to the past " moments... I will let you know 8y
rubyslippersreads I've just started collecting them too. 😄 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Bookquilter omg that would be AMAZING! Thank you for looking! That is exactly why I really want to get them, I think my Daughter will love them. And if I ever have a boy, he may like the journal ones. I truly appreciate you looking for me ❤❤❤ thank you SO much 😘 8y

BooksTeasAndBookishThings @rubyslippersreads I have seen a few on eBay, but they are so expensive in the lots and you never know just how great the quality is for EVERY one in a lot. I am keeping my eye on them, but figured I would try book community first and Library sales and what not. ❤ 8y
TheBookStacker Oh I used to love these books! Donated them to my old elementary school but I had almost all of them! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @TheBookStacker lucky school! I am glad the kids have it. It was a great way to be introduced to history through fiction. ❤ 8y
rubyslippersreads @BooksTeasAndBookishThings I see them at thrift stores sometimes, though I can't find 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @rubyslippersreads I definitely saw that one on eBay by itself if you are looking 😊 8y
rubyslippersreads @BooksTeasAndBookishThings Thanks--I'll check it out! 😀 8y
CrowCAH I might have some I can send, but have to check with my sister and Mom to see if they want to keep any. I'll let you know. 8y
kate_reads My FAVORITE books growing up 😍 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @CrowCAH That is so awesome of you! I totally understand, but if they don't I would absolutely love them! Thank you SOOO much!!! ❤ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @katekrug I remember reading as many as my library had! Any time they got a new one I was SO excited!!! 8y
Leetha_rose My Secret War ❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤❤❤ 8y
lilredhen I passed mine on to my eight year old. Crazy kid reads anything lol, so I figure she might as well read some historical fiction. They slow her down on her pace so she actually reads instead of skimming. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Leetha_rose I definitely love that one! I think that one, Winter of Red Snow, and I thought My Soul Would Rise and Fly were ones that I re-read the most! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @lilredhen I think it is a great intro to historical fiction for kids for sure ❤ 8y
CrowCAH @BooksTeasAndBookishThings you're gona freak! What say you to adding nine books to the collection?! I'll take a pic and let you see the gems 😁 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @CrowCAH EEEEEEKKKK!!! You have NO idea how happy you just made me!!! Omg, if I were not married... 😉 8y
kitty_reads Omg I used to love these growing up!!!! 8y
Librarylady I love this series. I think I own nearly all of them and hope that one of my girls will enjoy them someday. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Librarylady that is exactly what I am hoping for ❤ 8y
Devyn Oh my gosh, how had I forgotten about these?! They've got to be single-handedly responsible for my history obsession. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Devyn I swear I had forgotten, too, until I had my Daughter, but even then... it kept slipping my mind until LaLa brought up her obsession with the Romanovs and I remembered the diary of Anastasia ❤ (edited) 8y
brilliantglow I filled out my collection of the royal diaries, I only had Mary queen of Scots bought the rest off Thriftbooks.com all in hardcover and like new condition. Most of them were about 3.50 each +2.99 for shipping because I live in Canada. But if you're in the US orders over $10 get free shipping. 8y
Aims42 'My Secret War' was my favorite!!!! Oh gosh, completely forgot about it. I read it all on a 6 hour car ride and had to have my parents stop at a bookstore before we drove back home 😂 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @brilliantglow sweet!!! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Aims42 haha it is definitely one of the great ones 😊 8y
brilliantglow You're welcome! Love these books and I can't wait to pass them on to my daughter. ❤❤ 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @brilliantglow I am super excited to complete my collection and pass them along to mine ❤ 8y
JenicaDawn I loved these so much!! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @JenicaDawn So did I ❤❤❤ I really hope I can collect them all 😊🙌 I think Kaysen will love them when she is older as well! 8y
Shvonne My favorite series as a kid. Probably why I like novels written in letter or diary from. 8y
VeryLazyDaisy Wonderful books! My nephews all got these as gifts from me for years and years in a row. (They probably got tired of it, lol) 8y
amycollard My daughter loves these books! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Shvonne I do, too! ❤ @VeryLazyDaisy haha I am sure they loved it 😊 @amycollard I am really hoping mine will as well 🙌 8y
Lucylovesreading I mentioned these to someone and said that they were my fav books as a kid and what got me into history and they had NEVER heard of them!! I couldn't believe it! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Lucylovesreading yeah, I assumed everyone had heard of them, but I guess not every school was lucky enough to have them! We always had the scholastic book fairs as well and that is where I actually bought mine. 8y
pocketmermaid These are SO popular at my library! I wish we had them all. 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @pocketmermaid I really hope to get them all for her ❤ 8y
Bookquilter @BooksTeasAndBookishThings I haven't forgot you... I am still in the process of getting through the garage to the boxes 📦...The garage is a little more daunting then I expected...will keep you posted ... I didn't want you to think I had forgot 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Bookquilter no! Truly, take your time, I appreciate you looking at all, believe me. I can totally wait 😊 THANK YOU ❤ 8y
Lucylovesreading @BooksTeasAndBookishThings yeah we had tons of scholastic fairs as a child at my catholic school and my mom always indulged my reading addiction. I'd love to collect them all for my future kids, maybe even re-read them! 8y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Lucylovesreading I think your children (and you) will appreciate it ❤ 8y
