ON THE ROAD AGAIN
So I'm back on the road for my QUEEN OF BABBLE tour…. Right now I'm in Palm Beach (in a hotel on the beach. Yeah, life is tough), where I'll be speaking tonight at the public library. Here's the info: Author reading: Meg Cabot will appear at the West Palm Beach Public Library, 100 Clematis […]

Uncle Sam Wants YOU!!!
Do you recognize this house? I was just there last week…right before that cop car you see in the background chased me off the lawn. Just kidding. But I'm serious about Uncle Sam (and myself) wanting YOU…. …to come to tonight's online chat with myself and author Justine Chen Headley! 7PM EST here at the […]
HOLIDAY WEEKEND OFF!
It's MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! And I'm on my way home from the first leg of my tour. I spent May 18-21 at Book Expo America, and then May 22-26 on tour. I'll get back on the road on Tuesday, May 30, and be away until June 10. That's a long time to be away from […]
Posting from the QUEEN OF BABBLE tour
I am writing this from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Gate F-14. Remember that scene in 24 when Chole was in the hotel bar trying to upload the data to Jack's PDA, and that dude kept bugging her, and she finally had to hit him with her stun gun? Yeah. I really wish I had […]
RETRACTION
Oops. So the 12:30pm Borders signing is Wednesday, not Tuesday. Like all of you, I was just going by what it said on my website. Which had a typo. Sorry about that. Sorry too to fans of Talbots. I just went by one, and they had some totally cute stuff in the windows. Dr. Jaffe […]
AUTHOR SAVES PROM
Book Expo America turned out to be quite an adventure…and not in the ways I would have expected. Not only did I sign about a billion copies of my newest book, QUEEN OF BABBLE (due in US stores TOMORROW!!!), but I got to meet tons of groovy authors, one of whom gets a special Meg […]
SWEET 16 SNEAK PEEK
As promised, here's a sneak peek at SWEET SIXTEEN PRINCESS, due in US bookstores on May 23. Sixteen is the magic number Mia doesn't always have the best luck with parties, so even though it's her sweet sixteenth, she doesn't want a birthday bash. As usual, Grandmère has other ideas, and thinks a reality TV […]
MESSAGE FROM VOLCANO WATCH HEADQUARTERS
Status report: Well, after a few weeks of intensive back-to-back book writing, I have finally gotten a chance to lift my head from my laptop—just in time to go on book tour. I'll be leaving this week for Book Expo America–the annual convention for booksellers, publishers, educators, and librarians—in Washington DC, where I'll get to […]
Note to Self
Words it turns out that authors should probably not say while guest-speaking at a middle-school assembly: HornyBoobsDiarrhea Words this author said yesterday while guest-speaking at a middle-school assembly: HornyBoobsDiarrhea Amount of time it took for shrieks of laughter to die down after uttering said words: Five minutes Way it felt to still be capable of […]
Quitters DO Win
Everyone wants to know…. …whatever happened to Carol (see: entry before this one entitled TRUE STORY). Carol's story really seemed to strike a chord with readers. I'm glad so many of you appreciated the Carol story, including my own mother, who prank called me after reading it, pretending to be Carol (but it didn't work […]
TRUE STORY
Okay, so when I was in middle school I was friends with this girl. Let's call her Carol (hint: Carol is not her real name). Carol was one of those people who dreamed constantly of getting “discovered,” and being “famous.” You know the kind of person I mean—someone who is convinced that she is a […]
Oops…I Did It Again
Hey, ya'll! It's me, Brit. Meg asked me to guest blog today on account of her being otherwise occupied with some stuff you might have noticed that's been in the news lately, but that she's not at liberty to discuss at this time. But that's okay, because there's something I've been really hoping I'd get […]
GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS
There's good news and bad news: The bad news is they picked Rosie O'Donnell, and not me, as Meredith Viera's replacement on THE VIEW. I know. You would think after a moving letter like mine, they'd have been banging down my door to get me to come co-host their show. But I guess it was […]
