Welcome to Litsy!

And in this month of Mia's life... she's really not ready to "do it".
But she might be able to crush running for student council president. Even if she doesn't want to do that either.

3.5⭐This says that you may be a princess but to get stuff done, you need to wear pants. That sometimes skirts get in the way and that the job is more important than the fashion. The book rhymes decently. However, the cadence has many places where it switches and or faults. Do I think this is the best book that will be talked about for 20 years? Most likely not. But was it a good effort

I‘m not sure which part I found the most charming/entertaining - a witch who traps princesses in towers for the art of it, a princess who eventually realises that violence is the answer and a bottom of the garden fairy with a penchant for science, tactics and explosives. This was my first Tamsyn Muir - and I loved how this unfolded so I suspect - not my last.

It got a little more interesting right toward the end, but most of the journal entries seem trivial. She also talks way too much about having to hide her diary. The most interesting part of it was the historical facts after the diary entries. Knowing that Queen Victoria did keep a diary starting at the age of 13 makes me want to read that instead! This was the newest book on my TBR.

Mia, it's just prom.
Lilly, wtf? But also, "you forgot to complain about your grandmother". Yes. Lilly does Tell it Like it is
Michael, ?
Mr. G is so cool and fun

This has been the most annoying so far. I couldn't wait for it to be over. But also, I loved it? WHO KNOWS!!!

Last night was one of our favourite school events of the year! Every year, they host a Snuggle Up and Read evening. Everyone comes to the school in their pajamas, and there are all sorts of literacy focused events throughout the school. It's the most cozy form of chaos, and the kids LOVE it!

Counting this one as a book with a map—Scotland and France, that is. This was an excellent installment of the Royal Diaries. To me, the most effective historical fiction is one that makes me want to research what really happened! Which is why I appreciate that the authors of Royal Diaries put the history at the end of the story. After reading the Cleopatra Royal Diary, I thought maybe I just didn‘t like it because I‘m an adult now. Nope.

Mia, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Parking meters, really?????

This was a bit whiny, so it is totally believable. Lilly saying that the made for TV movie made her look like a bad friend. LOOK IN THE MIRROR, SISTER.
But honestly, Lilly was much better and way more supportive. Especially when it came to her best friend and her brother. That was really nice.
