Sorry, I forgot that it's Saturday so I should write about a book. Well this week I've read "Perfect Princess" by Meg Cabot. It's not one of the books in "The Princess Diaries" series, but it's written as if by the main characters of the series; Mia, Lilly, Tina Hakim Baba, Mia's Grandmére and Michael (God, I love Michael). It's a book where different kind of princesses are described/admired - real princesses, fake princesses, fictional princesses and should-be princesses, in the categories Perfect Princesses (by Dowager Princess Clarisse Renaldo - Mia's Grandmére), Style Princesses (by hair and makeup guru Paulo and fashinisto Sebastiano - Mia's hairdresser and gowndesigner), Mrs. Princess (by Tina Hakim Baba (Mia's close friend), Power Princesses (by Lilly Moscovitz - Mia's best friend), Action Princesses (by Michael Moscovitz - Lilly's older brother) and Politically Correct Princesses and Wannabe/Should-be princesses (by Mia).
The book was interesting to read as I barely knew any of the princesses before but a few of them were from American cartoons I've never seen so I didn't really get the jokes. I loved the connections made to the actual books by Mia and the tone that it was written in but I must say that I like the series better. I only recommend this if you've read all the books in the series and are dying to read more (but can't since the series have ended). Otherwise, it could be considered a waste of time.
Love,
Frida
