Meg Cabot Day
Hey! Are you having a good Meg Cabot Day? Thanks to reader Karina for reminding me that today is Meg Cabot Day, as declared in July 2004 by the Mayor of Bloomington, Indiana (it’s also JK Rowling’s and Harry Potter’s birthdays, ironically). Here are some facts about my book JINX, which was also born on […]
Set Aboot Ye
Wow, a lot of people wrote after my last blog entry. I’m glad to know I’m not the only person around (and yes, the Key West cops did catch the rapist here) who feels the way I do! Just to let you know, I do watch the news and read the paper. I am not […]
LINDSAY/MADONNA/DEAD CLOWN HAIKUS
Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. I am sad for her, really. I mean, it is awful to watch someone falling apart right in front of you, especially someone so young and talented. On the other hand, I love waking up on a Tuesday when I have nothing to look forward to but work and then I turn […]
Princess Diaries 9, Princess Mia
I see that the Harper Teen website has put up the Princess Diaries 9 cover (even though last time I talked to Harper, they told me they were redoing this cover…oh well), so I guess it’s OK for me to put it up, too! (No, Mia doesn’t go to China in this book. But she […]
Meg Goes To The Movies
Okay so I am back in Key West after a brief stay in Indiana that was cut cruelly short by my psycho cat, who is fine now. But I don’t want to blog about that anymore, I want to blog about the summer movies so far. So here goes, in random order: Harry Potter and […]
Buh-Bye
“All my bags are packed. I’m ready to go. I’m standin’ here outside your door. I hate to wake you up to say goodbye. ‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again. Oh, babe, I hate to go….” (Sound familiar? Most readers are probably thinking of Chantal Kreviazuk from […]
No Wagering
I’ve just discovered something horrible: People—allegedly “friends” of mine—have been placing bets to see how long I’ll last in the barnhouse in Indiana to which I’ve re-located while my kitchen in Key West is being renovated. Apparently the pot is over $400. I don’t know where they got the idea that I can’t handle rustic. […]
Cattin’ Around
My score on this quiz was super low, and my score on this quiz was super high! If only they’d been reversed. I am totally stocking up on canned goods. In cat-related news (am I turning into a cat person? Was I already one? If so, I’m sorry) your suggestions as to how to curtail […]
Cats Gone Wild
I bought a barnhouse in Indiana (literally a barn that has been renovated into a house. We sleep in the hayloft) because I thought it would be a) cool, and b) a good place to go during the hurricane season in Florida. (Special note: since I bought my barnhouse last July, there has not been […]
NY Times…and 17, Too!
Check out my piece in the NY Times! It was in the Week in Review section, right next to Maureen Dowd’s column (which is kinda funny, since she hates chick-lit. Remember the backseat game you used to play with your brothers? “Hey, Maureen? Am I bothering you? I’m not touching you.”). I don’t REALLY think […]
The Reason We Are Relocating To Indiana on Tuesday
Here is what my kitchen in Florida looks like at the moment (they already started ripping out some of the cabinets yesterday. They are coming back for the rest on Monday. We are making the kitchen more accessible for left-handed chefs, such as He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog. Did you not […]
So much to talk about…
…so little time! So many things are going on I can’t even handle it. It is totally blowing my snorkle buzz. Anyway, okay, first off, Queen of Babble in the Big City made the hardcover New York Times bestseller list, which is such a huge deal, you guys cannot even believe it. So thank you […]
Slut of the Sea
Guess how I celebrated the anniversary of our nation’s independence? I made up a new quiz for you to take (because I love you. Yes, it’s true), and I conquered one of my deepest fears! I have lived in one of the greatest snorkeling destination points in the world for three years, and yet I […]
Happy Fourth of July!
Check it out, my hometown of Bloomington, IN is on one of my favorite shows of all time, MADE (well, okay, SuperMADE)! Turn on MTV tomorrow at eleven am (the episode will no doubt air again sometime soon only I can’t tell you when because my TiVo is gone and has been replaced by DVR […]
Manga Madness
ONE MORE DAY, people! One more day until Avalon High: Coronation, Volume 1: The Merlin Prophecy hits shelves (that would be the Meg Cabot shelf in the YA section of your local bookstore, AND the manga section). Here’s the thing I posted to my Myspace blog (with some added photos and links and some commentary), […]
