This Week I Read… (June 23rd Edition)

You may have guessed it – this week I read the next two books in the Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot.

Fiimages-1rst up was The Princess Diaries Volume V: Princess in Pink, followed by The Princess Diaries Volume VI: Princess in Trainingimages

The fun thing about rereading books is that I generally remember the beginning and the end but I have no idea how the book goes from point A to point Z. Perhaps I have a bad memory. More likely it’s because I have so many books floating around in my head, it’s hard to remember all the nuances and plot twists. I can hardly keep those straight for the books I’m writing, let alone all the ones I read!

This Week I Read…

As I continue my re-reading of The Princess Diaries, there are so many things I’d forgotten about. I had completely forgotten, for example, the movie Blue Crush came out in the early 2000’s and that, for the first few years of the millennium, we were still using dial-up. I’m finding the books funnier this time around and I think it has to do with my distance from my teenage years. When I read them the first time, I was a teenager, I felt Mia’s high school angst. Now that I am no longer a dramatic teen myself, I am enjoying the books even more.

Library Book Sale

I love book sales. I live for book sales. Last weekend I went to the local public library sale. I got out with only 5 books and they were all ones I was already going to read. I know, I can hardly believe it myself.

I’ve been meaning to post photos on here so here we go, this is my hull from last week:
