My thoughts
If you have not heard/watched/read about the Princess Diaries, you must be living in a cave in some long-forgotten island. Sorry, don't mind me - I am a complete Princess Mia addict! She's zany, hilarious and completely un-princessy like which makes her absolutely adorable. An absolute good read! And if I may add, at an unbeatable price too! This is the series which made Meg Cabot a household name.

Bless your niece, your younger sister, and if you haven't already got the entire series (up to boook 10!) like I do, why not start your collection now?

Synopsis
She's just a New York City girl living with her artist mom…

News flash: Dad is prince of Genovia. (So that's why a limo always meets her at the airport!)
Downer: Dad can't have any more kids. (So no heir to the throne.)
Shock of the century: Like it or not, Mia is prime princess material.
The worst part: Princess lessons from her dreaded grandmere, the dowager princess of Genovia, who thinks Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.
Well, her father can lecture her until he's royal-blue in the face about her princessly duty no— way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind. But what's a girl to do when her name is PRINCESS AMELIA MIGNONETTE GRIMALDI THERMOPOLIS RENALDO?

In Trading Up, Janey Wilcox (first introduced in 4 Blondes) is a beautiful underwear model who wants everything she can get from life. She drives a Porsche Boxter, snags a rich husband, and parties in the Hamptons with the rich and powerful set. Yet it's never enough for Janey, who uses her beauty and sex appeal to move her way up through high society. Candace Bushnell (author of Sex and the City) skewers the society she knows so well.

Chick-lit. All's well, ends well. A very light read with the potential to make you laugh.

Synopsis

Jennifer Bell used to travel the planet with her boyfriend, fighting the good fight for mother Earth. But after the breakup (not a good fight), Jen moved back to London to work for another mother: her own. Harriet Bell founded Green Futures, a consulting firm, after splitting up with Jen’s big-shot father, who runs a rival (and Harriet thinks corrupt) company. But Harriet can’t expose his crimes without proof. And she wants Jen to find some.

Since Jen hasn’t seen her dad in more than fifteen years, it’s a snap to infiltrate his company . . . under an assumed name, of course. Soon she’s worming her way into the good graces of the company’s managers to find evidence of wrongdoing. What she discovers is that her father’s world is a whole lot different from her own–filled with Palm Pilots, MBAs, martini lunches, designer suits, and Daniel Peterson, a guy who puts the gorge in gorgeous.

Synopsis for Love Lottery
Becca's on a losing streak with boys and she's willing to resort to anything to have a little fun. So on a dare, she kisses the next guy she sees: Lal Lovering, who's on holiday in Cornwall and totally cute.

But when Becca realizes she's interested in more than just a holiday fling, she wonders if Lal can ever see through her rather overwhelming first impression. Between her own changing feelings and her parents' disintegrating marriage, Becca starts to see what sort of support a boyfriend can give...and just how important her friends can be.

High School Never Ends




RM8 each (postage included)

Titles
Prom Trilogy
Also sold in bundle - RM15
Prom Trilogy - Max and Jane
Prom Trilogy - Jake and Christy

Brothers Trilogy
Sold in bundle - RM20

Brothers Trilogy - Jonny
Brothers Trilogy - Kevin
Brothers Trilogy - Danny

Let's face it, as teenagers, we all receive guilty reading pleasures from books bearing the titles - 'Love Stories' or 'Sweet Valley' in our shelves. I'm one of them too. Obviously, I've outgrown them now and have moved on to more intellectual (I hope) reading pleasures.

So, I've decided to let them go at RM8 each. Or you can choose to buy it in a bundle. The price is inclusive of postage. They may be just a little older than the rest of my books, but they are still in really good condition. They are also wrapped nicely in clear plastic and have no dog eared pages.

So relive your childhood, anyone? Or maybe bless your niece, daughter, younger sister with these reads at a cheaper price? :)
