Just email Allie with your name, age, and home address (the address at which you receive package deliveries) and Allie just might send you an advanced reader copy of the latest installment of […]

Queen of Babbling

Thank you! Oh my gosh, because of all of you, Queen of Babble Gets Hitched hit #20 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list! That is just too fabulous for words! But because I’m the original queen of babble, of course I have some words anyway: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! And for […]

Queen of Babble Gets Hitched

It’s here! Queen of Babble Gets Hitched, the last book in the Queen of Babble series, is in US stores everywhere today! In case you missed it, I made a little video about my own obsession with brides (which matches my heroine’s—although she has an excuse, being a professional wedding gown restorer, and all). I […]

Summer Reading

It’s summer! Or at least it feels like it around here. I’ve got my new summer hair cut, which ended up making me look a little like Pat Benatar…. …or really more like Billie Jean from “The Legend of Billie Jean”…not the style I was going for exactly…. My hair looks like this. Only shorter. […]

More Literary Classics

To celebrate Airhead making the June 1 New York Times Children’s Chapter Bestseller List (thanks, everybody!), as well as the release of Queen of Babble in the Big City in paperback, here’s a new addition to my YouTube channel—another of my Literary Classics series, this one a tribute to the beloved children’s book, Heidi: Have […]

Slap Happy

Good grief! Never have I written so much so furiously! I am totally exhausted from all this writing. I have forsaken everything in my personal and business life in pursuit of The End. I even forgot to pay attention Henrietta (it’s okay, she has Whiskas Temptations, her new obsession, which I keep throwing at her […]

Birthday Slut

Thanks to everyone who sent me happy birthday wishes yesterday! Sadly, it was a working birthday. I’ve sworn to myself that next month, when I’m done with Princess Diaries 10, I’m going to take a week off at a tropical island resort somewhere, and just lay around in a hammock, and do nothing. (I realize […]

Film Rights/Today Show/Readergirlz

Wow, things are exploding here in Meg Cabot world. First off, yes, my dark auburn Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Touch Up roots matched. Thanks for asking. That little brush it comes with is useless, though. You’re much better off just getting down and dirty (like Nigella Lawson does with food. The new season of her […]

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 […]

QOB Sat Tour/AH:C on Myspace

I’m back! I made it home from Miami and my Queen of Babble in the Big City media satellite tour in one piece! Everything went pretty well (I think)…I even found one of the interviews online for you to take a peek at if you want to. Just click here and you can see me […]

Beauty Blog

I’m about to walk out the door for my Queen of Babble in the Big City mini-tour! And by mini I mean mini…I’m going to Miami for one day to do TV satellite. Yep, that’s right. I’m going to be sitting in a television studio Thursday morning, and different news shows across the country will […]

It’s Here!

Queen of Babble In The Big City is in stores at last! At least, it should be. If you go to your local bookstore, and it’s not on shelves, just ask for it. It could still be in a box in the back. That’s why it’s always a good idea to call ahead. That’s what […]

TWO MORE DAYS!

Seriously, if one more person emailed me to say they had gotten their pre-ordered copy of Queen of Babble in the Big City, I think I was going to have an embolism. Because as of yesterday, I STILL hadn’t seen a finished copy! Of my own book! Which comes out in TWO DAYS! But after […]

Pardon my French

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my server crashed. The result is that it has been impossible for me to post updates to my blog to the site (you might have noticed the site has been loading kind of slow). Many thanks to Jared for fixing it. You rock, Jared! This is not the […]

Show and Tell

Lots of fun stuff to show and tell you all! So we’d better get started…. First of all, my new crush Al Gore hasn’t e’d me. I totally understand why he wouldn’t since we’re both married to other people and all. But you would think he’d have written to say SOMETHING, even if it was […]

Contests and Crushes

So much happened this weekend! And I don’t mean at Book Expo America, which is THE major publishing industry event. Actually, a lot of stuff happened there this weekend, but I wouldn’t know, since I wasn’t at BEA. I got a break from it this year, since I was just on a book tour. But […]

Pants on Fire Tour Day 4 and 5

Back in NYC (in my own apartment, no less!): Thanks to the wonderful world of the Internet, I already know what happened on The Office last night even though I was at a book signing (thank you to everyone who came to see me at Diane’s Books. You were all wonderful. Caroline, thank you for […]

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 […]

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 […]

2006-2007 Tours

Check below for my 2006-2007 tour dates and locales: Ha, I bet you thought I was going to talk about the Oscars! Well, I'm not. Except to say that I loved Jon Stewart. Also that I did not see a single one of the movies that were up for Best Picture. Oh, well. I have […]
