\"Meg-A<\/a>As a Meg Cabot fan I have the privilege of participating in the 4th annual Meg-A Readers Blog Hop<\/a> hosted by Mandy at the Romance Bookie<\/a> and Diana at Little Miss Drama Queen<\/a>. As an official \u201cMeg-A Reader\u201d can I tell you how thrilled I was to get an advanced reader copy of Royal Wedding<\/a><\/i>? I know ARCs are common place for \u201creal\u201d book bloggers but not me! So when I actually got one from Meg Cabot\u2019s publisher I let out a SQUEEEEE so loud I think the neighbors heard. I then had to put my Princess Diaries<\/i> binge read into race gear so I could get my \u201cMeg Cabotyness\u201d on and enjoy Royal Wedding<\/i> in full sequence.<\/p>\n

Now that all the reading is done (sniff!) I wanted to share with you \"Royal<\/a>the ten things I loved about the book:<\/p>\n

1. Limos \u2013 No Meg Cabot novel is complete without them and Royal Wedding<\/i> is no different. Mia actually gets driven around in a Hybrid Electric Livery Vehicle now that she\u2019s an environmentally conscious adult but Grandm\u00e8re still uses a traditional limo and in this book we get details about what it\u2019s like inside.<\/p>\n

2. Food \u2013 I love the descriptions of food in fiction novels, especially the delicious meals the royals eat in the Princess Diaries novels. In Royal Wedding<\/i> we get a delicious list of all the food Marie Rose, chef for the Consulate General of Genovia, leaves in Mia\u2019s fridge. Yum!<\/p>\n

3. Romantic Island Vacation \u2013 If you\u2019ve read the synopsis of the book you already know that Michael proposes to Mia during a romantic Caribbean getaway. Just wait until you hear about this place! I\u2019ve already gone back and read that section of the book twice in an effort to take a little fantasy vacation myself.<\/p>\n

4. Olivia Grace \u2013 This is the name of Mia\u2019s long lost half sister who gets introduced in this book. I loved her and you will too. In fact, if you want to get to know her better you can read the middle grade novel with Olivia Grace\u2019s version of the story in From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess<\/a><\/i>. It is of course not the whole story, but is delightful just the same.<\/p>\n

5. Rocky \u2013 We actually don\u2019t get to see much of him in Royal Wedding<\/i> but we hear a lot about him. He\u2019s not a baby anymore. He\u2019s an adolescent boy and he\u2019s obsessed with farts. I have a feeling that we may see more of Rocky in the Middle School Princess<\/i> series. I hope so anyway!<\/p>\n

6. Storyline hinted at in the previous books is finally resolved \u2013 I\u2019m not going to tell you what storyline I\u2019m talking about but if you think about it enough you\u2019ll know which one I mean. It was just what I wanted to have happen.<\/p>\n

7. Lilly \u2013 I was never really a fan of Lilly, even after she and Mia patched things up in book 10, Princess Mia<\/i>. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find that she finally shows Mia a little respect and compassion in Royal Wedding<\/i>. It also made up for my disappointment about Tina Hakim Baba whose storyline and lackluster personality at age 25 made me go \u201cm\u2019eh.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. Genovian drinking song \u2013 Yes there is such a thing. The lyrics are basically \u201cForgive me Mother for I am drunk again!\u201d I won\u2019t tell you who sings it though.<\/p>\n

9. Grandmer\u00e8 \u2013 She\u2019s back and she\u2019s better than ever!<\/p>\n

10. And speaking of Grandmer\u00e8, she is, of course, the inspiration for my favorite quote: \u201cIn Grandmer\u00e8\u2019s day, people didn\u2019t take antidepressants or go see therapists when they were distressed about something. They had some sense slapped into them, or they had a drink \u2018like a normal person.\u2019\u201d (I am clearly living my life as if it were in Grandmer\u00e8\u2019s day.)<\/p>\n
