Series: From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess book 1
Genre: Contemporary???(There no magic but at the same time there's a princess soooo?

  Olivia has never known her father and her mother died when she was young. She's been living with her aunt and step-uncle ever since. Then one day everything changes. It all starts when Annabelle (who is basically the Heather Chandler of the school {I've been listening to a lot of musicals lately}) threatens to beat her up after school. From there on, the days a mess. That is until Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia pulls up in her limousine and offers to take Olivia to the royal family's New York City home. 
  Just like every other girl, I grew up watching The Princess Diaries which is the main reason I bought this book. This was a really quick read for me (2 days to be exact) so I probably won't be buying the other books in the series: Royal Wedding Disaster, Royal Crush, and Royal Crown and I just realized that all 3 starts with the word royal. I would maybe read them though just not buy them. This book contained all my favorite characters from The Princess Diaries(aka Mia). In the end, this is definitely a book worth reading (if you're in elementary school. There are way too many pictures from this to be a middle school book). 
  Speaking of The Princess Diaries... they're making a third movie!!! A script has been made and it has been confirmed by Anne Hathway (who was in Les Miserables {again been obsessing over musicals lately}) and Julie Andrews that it will come out.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
