Review: The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot Series: The Princess Diaries #1 Published by Macmillan Children’s Books on July 2, 2015 Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, Romance, Young Adult Pages: 320 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads Mia Thermopolis is pretty sure there’s nothing worse than being a five-foor-nine, flat-chested freshman, who also happens to be flunking Algebra. Is she ever in for a surprise. First Mom announces that she’s dating Mia’s Algebra teacher. Then Dad has to go and reveal that he is the crown prince of Genovia. And guess who still doesn’t have a date for the Cultural Diversity Dance? So The Princess Diaries have a new cover and I like it. I feel it shows how Mia should look like in comparison to the original covers with her orange bob hair thing. This my childhood (OK my early teens) book and it was brilliant! It showed you didn’t have to […]

Pastime Pleasures #15 – The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

Welcome to my  feature, Pastime Pleasures, posted every other Friday. Today is the turn of The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot. Here I will look at books that have given me great pleasure in the past. These are books I can read over and over again. The only rule is that the book must have been published five or more years ago.     Most people would love the idea of being a princess, of being royal – a disney fairytale come true. But not Mia, this is a step too far for her. She is already considered a freak at school and this goes one step too far – how much more can she take? But somehow her royal news gets leaked and now Mia has to deal with being ‘popuar’ and her tyrannical grandmother. Mia has to mature as the year progresses – can she learn all about what it means to be a princess, cope with the make-overs and soften her Grandmere. All while remaining herself and bagging the boy? Written as a journal, The Princess Diaries is a […]

Review: Brooklyn Girls: Angie by Gemma Burgess

Brooklyn Girls: Angie by Gemma Burgess Published by Quercus on March 6th 2014 Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, New Adult Pages: 303 Format: E-Arc Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads Broke. Broken-hearted. Bored. (Not necessarily in that order.) WELCOME TO NEW YORK CITY. Angie James is lost. A regular poster girl for Generation Screwed, being 22 isn’t what she expected. What happens when having fun isn’t, you know, fun? In the Brooklyn townhouse she shares with her best friends, Angie wants to figure out what to do with her life. But wild parties, bad dates, dead-end jobs, demanding fashionistas and even true love just keep getting in the way… Who knew adulthood would be so damn grown-up? When I started reading Brooklyn Girls: Angie I thought it was a long the lines of the chick-lit I use to read as a teenager (the Mates, Dates series or the Princess Diaries), cutesy books. And I was right… except there is a lot more swearing and sex.  When I read this book, I had realised it was part of a series, it was only […]
