POX!
Well, once again I am ringing in the New Year in a delicate state of health. Apparently it was not enough that I had to begin 2004 with lyme disease, and end it with a badly bruised/broken coccyx bone. No, now I have the pox. Okay, it isn't really THE pox, like the one everyone […]

Holiday Newsletter
It is my favorite time of year—the time when people send their annual newsletters letting the rest of us know what has gone on in their family since the last time we heard from them, generally a year ago, in the last newsletter we received from them. These are people with whom we are friends—or […]

Meg’s Media Round Up/Mail Room

Spoiler Time
Okay, hi, sorry, I just have a minute because I'm trying to finish Princess Diaries 7, so I have no time/creativity left to write a real blog entry. So instead, I'm posting another sneak peek at TWILIGHT, Mediator 6. All of the Mediator series–about a teenaged girl who can see and speak to ghosts–Shadowland, Ninth […]
CRUSH
Okay. So we here at the Meg Cabot blog have been inundated with requests for advice. And most of those requests ask for advice about—you guessed it—crushes. I would like to mention something I read this weekend in a book called The Full Cupboard of Life, by Alexander McCall Smith (from the No. 1 Ladies […]
