Haha! I found one more that I hadn’t read. It is a mini-book, a novela, a great way to cash in if you’re Meg Cabot. It is Volume IV and a quarter. It’s about three chapters worth of writing, designed to satisfy the reader during the gap between full books. No offense to Ms. Cabot (I’ve said I like her writing a lot), but while enjoyable, I can’t help thinking these are just money makers. Not that a writer shouldn’t take any and all opportunities like this if they present themselves, it just seems a bit hard on the libraries who have to buy them in order to complete their Princess collection. Maybe if I’m ever in this enviable position, I’ll sell my mini-books to the public and give them to the library. Or use them as a fundraiser for charity.
I do have one bone to pick with Ms. Cabot though, and since it’s not like I can actually get an email through to her, I’ll do it here on my website. If Princess Mia is such an environmentalist, why does she ride around in a limo? There are all kinds of alternatives and I think Mia taking a stand against the limo would provide some good drama for say…book fifty…just an idea, in case Ms. Cabot is dropping by my website looking for more things to write about.
