Meg Cabot addiction [once again].
When I was in high school, I loved reading Meg Cabot. It was so easy to see the pictures she was painting in her books because I could either relate, or simply understand. My best friend and I would borrow the books from our more fortunate classmate who had a collection of said author’s books. I was always behind by one book [with my best friend] because 1) she started on the addiction first; and 2) she reads faster than I do.
Right now, I’m catching the addiction again, because of some site I happened upon that had a whole archive of Meg Cabot, Nicholas Sparks, and Agatha Christie E-books. I didn’t download the Agatha Christie E-books, because I first read the synopsis of one of the novels, and found them way too creepy for my taste. Besides, at that time I was alone and it would’ve scared the hell out of me if I went on reading.
Anyway, I’m falling in love all over again with Michael Moscovitz. I soo love his character. Who wouldn’t fall for him?? He’s got everything: the brains, the brawn, the personality… I even admire that guy who played him in the movie–who was it?–Robert Carmine/Schwartzman (*wondering if I spelled that correctly*) because he really grasped Michael’s role in the book/movie. I wish he acted more, though I think he’s a very talented musician. I love that song featured in Princess Diaries 1 (Blueside – Rooney), especially the bridge part.
I plan to “reread” the All-American Girl series (I only got up to the first book in HS) and start on all the other Meg Cabot books someday. I’m just too busy right now and cannot afford to ruin my life over book addiction. That’s my problem with books sometimes. Most people can’t even get started on one; I can’t take my eyes off reading them.

I don’t know really…I used to love Michael’s character and in the movie Robert Schwartzman portrayed him brilliantly…but as soon as Mia and MIchael get together he just seems really arrogant and he really does seem to think, like her, that he is better than Mia. He was a jerk for not telling her about Judith Geshner and in Book 7 he was a terrible boyfriend, ignoring her after she apologized and everything, even though his parents were separating, but really, he could have called. I’m kind of on J.P.’s team now because he’s so much nicer than Michael really
