It\u2019s that warm, fun, cozy feeling you get from reading great books like <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Princess-Diaries-Meg-Cabot\/dp\/0061479934\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376614256&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=the+princess+diaries\">The Princess Diaries<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Queen-Babble-Meg-Cabot\/dp\/B002KE469U\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376614280&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=queen+of+babble\">The Queen of Babble<\/a><\/em> or how about her new book <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Abandon-Book-Awaken-Meg-Cabot\/dp\/0545284120\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1376614307&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=awaken\">Awaken<\/a><\/em>? But reading a Meg Cabot book is not the only thing that can make you feel all Meg Caboty. If you are anxiously waiting for Meg\u2019s latest book so you can feel all Meg Caboty try some of these things:<\/p>\n<p>Write about Meg. Duh! That\u2019s what I\u2019m doing right now and why I am participating in this second annual Meg-A-Readers blog hop. Writing about how much I love Meg Cabot and her books just makes me feel all\u2026well\u2026Meg Caboty!<\/p>\n<p>Write some Meg Cabot fan fiction. Sometimes finishing a series of books can make you feel sad. I know I went through a small depression when I finished the last Princess Diaries book. Luckily I discovered the Meg Cabot fan forum around the same time and yep, <a href=\"http:\/\/forums.megcabot.com\/index.php?showtopic=57871\">I wrote a piece of Princess Diaries fan fiction<\/a>. It helped saying goodbye to Mia and Michael and Tina and Lily a lot easier. It also made me feel very Meg Caboty!<\/p>\n<p>Meet Meg in person. Even if you aren\u2019t a Meg Cabot fan, I highly recommend attending one of her public appearances. Meg Cabot is a fantastic speaker! She is funny and engaging and comes across exactly the way you expect her to be if you are a fan of her books. Just be careful and keep your Meg Caboty feelings in check otherwise <a href=\"http:\/\/ladyjessop.com\/?p=289\">you might start crying in front of her<\/a> like I did.<\/p>\n<p>Watch a Meg Cabot book trailer. Meg Cabot produces the best book trailers ever! Some of my favorites are these from the Runaway series. And whenever I need a pick-me-up I watch this one:<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:5c50ba94-093a-4a92-bde2-33a64184ee2d\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; width: 448px; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px;\">\n<div><object width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/q9troMb6iQU?hl=en&amp;hd=1\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/q9troMb6iQU?hl=en&amp;hd=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 448px; clear: both; font-size: .8em;\">Very Meg Caboty!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow Meg on Twitter. Meg doesn\u2019t just make promotional announcements on her Twitter feed. She also puts in fun things like quick thoughts on movies she just went to or what\u2019s she\u2019s doing for the weekend or \u2026anything!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ladyjessop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Meg-Cabot-tweet.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 10px auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Meg Cabot tweet\" src=\"http:\/\/ladyjessop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Meg-Cabot-tweet_thumb.png\" alt=\"Meg Cabot tweet\" width=\"551\" height=\"123\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tweets from Meg Cabot seem more real and sincere than the regular everyday Tweets you see from other celebrities and they make you feel all Meg Caboty!<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megcabot.com\/meg-cabot-tour-information\/\">Meg Cabot Newsletter<\/a>. In addition to seeing emails in your inbox FROM MEG CABOT you also get special surprises! Last year at Christmas Meg put out a special collection of short stories which she published in a free ebook for her fans. Honestly? That short story collection was my favorite Christmas gift last year. I saved it to read on Christmas day and I felt all Meg Caboty.<\/p>\n<p>Read Meg\u2019s blog. Meg updates her blog about once a month, which if you are impatient like me is a long time to wait. But don\u2019t fret! Meg has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megcabot.com\/diary\/\">10 years worth of blog posts<\/a> on her website that you can read anytime! It\u2019s a great way to feel Meg Caboty.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to a Meg Cabot interview. There are some great Meg Cabot interviews out there! Just Google \u201cMeg Cabot interview\u201d and you\u2019ll find a ton.\u00a0 Listening to them makes you feel like you\u2019re having a conversation with Meg yourself and that\u2019s just so Meg Caboty.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough, my very favorite Meg Caboty thing has very little Meg in it. She did link to it in her blog years also which is how I found it and you can find her at 1:10 in the video. Still I think everyone would agree that the entire feeling of fun loving romance writers all together in one room, raising money for charity is a very Meg Caboty.<\/p>\n<div id=\"scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:9d074696-e497-473c-ac50-228c5fe668d9\" class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" style=\"float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; width: 448px; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px;\">\n<div><object width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/docOBvGf2-M?hl=en&amp;hd=1\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/docOBvGf2-M?hl=en&amp;hd=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"448\" height=\"252\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>What do you do to feel all Meg Caboty?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best thing about being a Meg Cabot fan is feeling all Meg Caboty.
