Project Princess (The Princess Diaries #4.5)

This was a short little book about Princess Mia's Spring Break, and her trip from Manhattan to West Virginia to help build a house for a Habitat-for-Humanity-type charity.

I read it while I was eating at Sonic today. At 64 pages, it was a very quick read. Very good, though. I love Meg Cabot's writing style as Princess Mia.

I am now reading The Princess Diaries #5: Princess in Pink.

Friday Fill-In! 11-27-09

1. Wait! Wait, don't forget the shopping list and Starbucks gift card.

2. Turkey followed at once by sweet potatoes.

3. The trouble is I ate waaaay too much.

4. It seems like my happiness is too many miles away.

5. With a faint pop I release the top button on my jeans.

6. Because I saw parts of Dark Night, my dreams may be shadowy and ominous.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to glorious sleep (as I type at 10:45pm), tomorrow my plans include Black Friday shopping starting at 4am and then a nap and reading and Sunday, I want to worship, worship, worship!

The Princess Diaries IV: Princess in Waiting

Because I joined the 2009 Young Adult Challenge, I decided this would be the time to read the Princess Diaries series. I've been working my way through them, and just finished the fourth volume, Princess in Waiting.

This one was, in my opinion, the best one so far! It starts with Mia in Genovia for the holidays, where she is pining for her new boyfriend. When she gets back to Manhattan, her Grandmother (who is NOTHING like sweet Julie Andrews from the movie version!) is trying her best to ruin Mia's life, like always. It has a great, sweet ending and I'm ready to move on to Volume IV and a half.

If you have a tween who loves drama, or are like me and has to read the book if there's a movie, this series is great. I cannot wait until Big Sis is old enough to read this series.

2010 Young Adult Challenge

This is another challenge I attempted this year, but failed at. I figured...Harry Potter, Twilight...easy, right??

Well, I've been slowly working my way through the Princess Diaries series, so I may actually make progress this year. But looking at my GoodReads.com bookshelves, there are a LOT of Young Adult books on my TBR list! So I'll tackle this challenge one more time!

This post is where I will list the books I have read for the Young Adult Challenge. I might get Big Sis to work with me on this one, too, since she can read more challenging chapter books now!
