Royal Wedding audiobook

EDIT 1/6/2015: Just a friendly reminder this comes out tomorrow. GETITGETITGETITGETITGETIT.Buddy read with the fabulous Aly! "'Now grab the bag and get downstairs. Are you even dressed? The clock is ticking, Thermopolis. The jet leaves from Teterboro at eleven.' Jet? He’s hired a private jet? Who does he think he is all of a sudden, Christian Grey? I am not okay with this. I'm not some shy virginal college student who only owns one shirt." Someday when I'm old and incontinent, I'm going to be shaking my cane at kids who're reading about bedazzled mummies or sexy okami and yelling, "Meg Cabot is the Queen of YA! Queen, ya little shit! Now get me more porridge!"The Princess Diaries is what got me into YA in the first place. I grew up with Mia's obsession with her A-cup boobs, attending royal functions, witnessing her mom marry her Algebra teacher, snagging Michael (and losing him five books later), battle depression, and her ultimate happy ending. Forever Princess remains my favorite Princess Diaries book to date.In this installment, which I firmly believe is a bridge to ease readers into From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess, Mia is twenty-six, working full-time and about to get married to Michael Moscovitz. But because Grandmere is a nightmare (who can forget Helen and Frank's supposed wedding?) and the paparazzi like being paparazzi, there are... complications. "Is Michael Moscovitz the world's greatest lover? 'YES!' says sex-mad Princess Mia, declares the cover of this week's InTouch.Michael's dad thought this was so hilarious, he bought dozens of copies to give to his friends and even his patients. Michael's asked him to stop, but his dad won't listen. "You really expect me not to buy this?" Dr. Moscovitz asked. "My son is the world's greatest lover! It says so right here. Of course I'm going to buy this!"" Oh, and Mia's long-lost sister isn't the only bombshell in Royal Wedding. Not by a long shot.Mia's all grown-up, too. I'm constantly amazed at how Meg can write Mia as a 14-year-old in book one and 26 here, yet still have Mia be quintessentially Mia. Worrywart, Greenpeace-loving Mia. "Am I doing so many public events these days that they've begun to blur? Am I slipping into early-onset dementia? How early does early-onset dementia begin, and what are the symptoms besides forgetting where my clothing comes from? Is one of the symptoms a twitching eyelid?" And Michael. Le sigh. Michael. "The part of the press release about me asking your father's permission to marry you was true—well, partly true, anyway. I didn't ask permission—I knew you wouldn't like that, it's sexist. You're not your father's property....I spoke to your mother too because she played an even bigger role in raising you." Keep your vampires, werewolves, and aliens. That's the fictional boyfriend I want.If you haven't read The Princess Diaries yet, what the hell are you waiting for? Go to your nearest library and ask for my girl Mia Thermopolis. Go! And get me some prune juice while you're at it.ARC provided by Edelweiss.

I CAN'T WAIT MY BODY IS READY

Alrighty, this one is for Cabot's fans of her young adult series The Princess Diaries .I am one of those aforementioned fans. Love those books! Yes, all 10 of them.They're just cute, sweet, funny, and...well, what else do you need?!So, they start out with a 14 year old Mia learning that she's heir to the Genovian throne, and then follow her through the years as she grows from a gawky girl to a beautiful princess. Anyway, fans (like me!) were thrilled to find out that Cabot was writing another book about Mia, and especially excited to find out that this one was for adults!Wheeee!But it's not really adult-adult, because this is probably the cleanest adult novel I've read in FOREVER. As in, no cursing and no sex.Well, Mia & Michael have sex. But it's off-page, and alluded to like there are kids in the room...if you know what I mean? Which is fine, because it sort of keeps with the theme of the other books. Anyway, the romance part is very sweetly done. They're a loving couple with a good sense of humor, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them.As you probably guess from the title, this one centers around her wedding to Micheal, but that's not the only BIG news! Plenty of other potentially disastrous extremely interesting things happen, and Mia handles them all with her typical flair.It's also still told in diary form! Mia once again picks up her pen to write, only this time, it's because her doctor thinks it may help her relieve stress that's causing her eye to twitch.More than likely, twitchy eye is due to her grandmother...just sayin'.For those of you who have only watched the movies, Julie Andrews' character is NOTHING like the smoking, boozing, offensive grandmother in the books. I love her so much!Anyhoo, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who wants to read this one, but I will say that all the old familiar faces do show up. Lilly, Tina, JP, & Boris to name a few. And there will be a new face that pops up, as well. So. If you've been dying to know what happens to Mia next, I really think you're gonna enjoy the hell out of this one!Also reviewed for:

An Electronic Advanced Reader Copy was provided by the publisher via Edelweiss for review.Mia is now twenty-six years old. She's come far from her teen years and has proven to be a wonderful princess of Genovia. She has wonderful supportive friends, a job she loves, a loving but meddling family and Michael, her high school sweetheart. Then she finds out something about her father that could change her life forever. I pretty much devoured this one. Written in a diary style, it includes written diary entries in Mia's narrative style. There's also snippets from newspapers, Internet articles and my favourite one of all text messages. So many funny bits, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Not only does Meg Cabot get into the heart and soul of her main character, but she also gives sunny personalities to the secondary characters. Mia's two best friends have been there from the beginning and I love how different they each are yet they are both so supportive and loving towards Mia. Lily and Tina are just the best fictional friends you could ask for. Then there's Michael who is still the smartest, yet very wily and flirty at the same time. His emoii stories made me laugh out loud too. Can I also say how romantic his proposal to Mia was?? AHH SO CUTE *swoons* I don't know if I should comment about Mia's Grandmere because some of the things she said made me angry, but I have to remind myself she's also fictional.Reading Royal Wedding brought me back to my teen years and I loved every minute of it! If you haven't read this series yet, give it a go..I know you'll laugh out loud as much as I did.RATING 5/5QUOTES"I don't know what's happening to me. I lie when I should tell the truth, and tell the truth when I lie." (4)"Honestly, what good is owning a castle if the person you love doesn't want to share it with you?" (13)"You would think that in the enlightened era in which we live, a single girl could have a boyfriend and a career and also a healthy sex life without getting called names." (55)"We need to have a relaxing weekend away from orange-throwing Genovians and your insane family." (92) "Grandmère believes that Ron Weasley, not Voldemort, is the villain of the Harry Potter series." (163)"Did your brain skip out through your vagina along with the baby when you gave birth?" (223)"However much they're paying teachers these days, it is not enough. Middle-schoolers are animals." (295)

6 stars. Currently grinning like a fool, oh my god. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER. PLEASE TELL ME THERE WILL BE MORE

Everything that I wished for and more! MADE OF SO MUCH AWESOME!!! I can't imagine any fan of the Princess Diaries being disappointed with this. I AM SO HAPPY :') Mia is just as sassy, hilarious and bumbly as she was in high school. Michael is still a dream and every girl's fantasy. (His emojis cracked me up every time, I can't even.) Grandmere continues with her Sidecar swilling and being obnoxiously rude. Lilly, Tina and co. remain supportive of our favourite Genovian princess. And the proposal + wedding... AWW. Time to get my hands on Olivia's book. But first, can we pretty please have a sequel?!?! I need to know how Mia and Michael (view spoiler)[fare with their twins!!! (hide spoiler)]--My teenage years were spent with Princess Diaries books. I kid you not - I can chart my progress through puberty with them. I desperately wanted combat boots (I owe my love for boots to Mia, really), wanted a Michael, wanted a Fat Louie, but most importantly just related so much to Mia (though I'd rather not be a princess!). While I've had my problems with the series (see: the seventh through ninth books), it's still one of my favourite guilty pleasures ever.So to find out that Meg Cabot's writing a new adult Princess Diaries book?OH. MY. GOD. It's like she's reviving all my favourite childhood series: first the Mediator, then this!!!I'M SO EXCITED OH MY GOD. I NEED MORE MICHAEL. NOW. A ROYAL WEDDING SDASJAFKJ; PLEASE!!!["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>

Before Reading:OMG!!!I CAN NOT wait to read this! Princess Diaries is one of my favourite series EVER and now I'll get to see Mia and Michael's wedding!My babies are getting married!------After Reading:Me whenever Michael appears in the book:Reading this, I felt like I was catching up with old friends. If you are a fan of The Princess Diaries series, you have to read this book. Not a lot happens but it made me so happy! Especially to see Michael and Mia together again. They are relationship goals.

This book is everything! It's finally happening guys - one of the fave literary couples from my childhood is getting married!! There are not enough happy dance gifs in the world to express how awesome this book was. Not only was it a trip down memory lane, but it was also filled with spot-on humor and heartwarming moments that made me want to laugh and cry happy tears into a bowl of ice-cream...and happy dance some more! :)

Amazing, incredible, fabulous, wonderful, excellent...I honestly loved every single page of this book. Not only was I amazed to go back into this royal universe I'd read about years ago, I also thought every part of it was really well-thought. The first thing I loved was how, after all these years, Mia is still the same girl we know, except older. She's still funny, quirky, nerdy and lovable, which made me feel like I had just stopped reading the last book. I honestly burst out laughing many times while reading, because her honesty or her comments were just too funny. She and Michael were easily recognizable - as well as the other characters, to be honest - and it didn't feel the slightest bit weird to see them get on with their lives and be real adults. Their love is still extremely strong and while this novel didn't feel like a romance, it still has loads of swoon-worthy moments that I enjoyed very much. As for the plot, I honestly have no idea how Cabot could still think of such an amazing plot. Really, after having written ten books about a young princess's life, you'd think she'd have ran out of good ideas, but here's the truth: she's far from that. Everything about Genovia and being a princess was realistic and interesting, and the many plot twists made my reading experience very pleasant. Though I could easily have been spoiled about some of them - I mean, the title is a pretty big clue that I, being stupid, didn't think of - I wasn't and I was surprised many times while reading. Seriously, I recommend this book to everyone. I even considered recommending it to my mother, although it's far from her favourite genre, aka historical fiction. It will make you laugh and smile like no other book and we all know that's what you want.(Thank you to HarperCollins for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

All the times I imagined the marriage of our heroine and hero throughout this series, I did not see this coming. It is as adorable as all the rest of the books but the ‘addition’ is a wonderful surprise!

Fact: I finished this three weeks ago. And read it about 4 times more. Its like Ms. Cabot managed to fit my entire childhood in just one book (which she essentially did). And boy, did she do a good job of it.(Now, all I need is that seventh Mediator book, and I'm pretty sure I can die a happy woman)I was 10 when I read the first book. My uncle used to work in the accounts department of a really popular bookshop, so he saw this on their bookshelves and thought that I might like it. I would like to say that I got to reading right away, but that would be a complete lie since I read it only six months later. What? I wanted to finish the Mallory Towers series before I jumped into anything else.But the moment I started it, there was no turning back. Pretty soon, the series became the Bible of my preteen years, which retrospectively, wasn't exactly a good thing since Mia has her moments of utter foolishness and over thinks certain situations and needlessly makes herself paranoid, but it teach me about the kind of people out there and the kind of guys I should hope for, which I guess was a good thing .In this book, we meet the Mia of our childhood: funny, friendly,clueless and only slightly more mature. She's still someone I would love to have as a best friend. But things arent the same; Tina and Boris arent a thing anymore (*sniff*), Lily and Kenny arent a thing anymore (eh, his days were numbered anyway) and (view spoiler)[Mia's stepdad died, which is unfortunate since he was the only rational adult in Mia's life (hide spoiler)].But then again, Michael is still extremely hot and I would still totally jump his bones if he weren't fictional (here is where my inner lovesick fangirl screams "DONT REMIND ME!"). And oh, JP is still an ass. Jus' sayin'. Guess some things never change.Although, I wasnt expected that little...er...surprise at the end. I wasnt expecting it, so I was as taken aback as Mia, but thinking about it, it was pretty cute actually.In short, I cried like a baby when I finished the book, I think I'm tearing up a little now and I have no clue how to end this. I still read the tenth book 4 times a year and it never gets old and now I have another book to re-read forever alongside it. So thank you, Ms. Cabot, for this extended ending of some of my favorite characters of all time. And thank you for my childhood.

Reread March 31st 2017 because sometimes you just need to TREAT YO SELF. Just as hilarious and heartwarming and shippy as I remember. But I forgot how much I need another. (MEG, WRITE ME ANOTHER ONE)____________________I MISSED MIA (AND MICHAEL) SO MUUUUUCH! I just couldn't wait.Though there were one or two things I would have liked to see in more detail (and reading Meg's middle grade From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess first spoils a good deal of the plot of Royal Wedding, though by no means all of it) this book is still the BEST THING EVER and i want to MARRY IT and HUG IT WITH MY FACE because it's MIAAAAA! ADULT MIA! GETTING MARRIED!!!!!Please please PLEASE let there be more!

I missed this series so much. After reading this book, I realized how much I missed this series. I read this series thee years ago and then I joined Goodreads a year later. I loved the characters and still do and I am so glad I got to read this book. I am so happy with everything that happened in this book and more than satisfied with the ending. If you haven't heard about the Princess Diaries, where have you been???? It's about a girl named Mia, who lived with her mother. One day, she finds out that her father is the Prince of Genovia and that she is the princess. Her life changes in one day and she doesn't know what to do. While dealing with these things, she finds out that her mother and algebra teacher are dating. So the Princess Diaries is basically all of her teen life and how she deals with these problems and much more. The Royal Wedding takes place after the Princess Diaries, so if you haven't read the series, don't read this book. But if you have, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK! It has almost all the characters from the Princess Diaries but they are all mature adults. It shows how much they moved in life and what position they are in. I really loved this, although some parts were cliche. It's funny how in this book, Mia's friend mentions that her life is kinda cliche. Mia hasn't changed a bit, she is still funny and obnoxious but she is much more mature. Micheal... He hasn't changed a bit either, and I loved his dialogue in this book. I loved how we got to see text messages between each of the characters and it was so interesting. I felt like I was going back in time and reading this three years ago. Lily is still sassy and funny, just the way I like her, and I love how she says everything that she thinks. There were so many crazy things that occurred in this book and I recommend this 100% it if you've read the Princess Diaries, and if you haven't, I recommend it. This romantic, funny, unique novel will keep you hungry for more. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop until you finish the whole book. It's one of those books that stick with you for the rest of your life. I highly recommend this book and believe that you will enjoy it as much as I did. So GO READ IT!!!!!!!
