Meg Cabot books

I've decided to compile my list of all-time favourites from Meg Cabot. Sherilyn- take your pick! Tell me which ones you've bought :D

Listed (in order): Titles & Genres/Descriptions/Comments
Titles & Genres:
  1. THE MEDIATOR series. Supernatural.
  2. VICTORIA AND THE ROGUE. Historical fict.
  3. AVALON HIGH. Myth (?).
  4. QUEEN OF BABBLE. Realistic fict.
  5. HEATHER WELLS MYSTERY series. Mystery.

Descriptions:

  1. Suze Simons is a girl who can see and talk to ghosts. When she moves to the town Carmel after her mum remarrying, she meets Jesse, a hot ghost who lives in her bedroom. The series follows her as she encounters different ghosts and solves the mysteries of their deaths.
  2. Lady Victoria is a young girl who's just arrived in England after spending much of her childhood with uncles in India. She's bold, feisty and engaged to an Earl she met aboard the ship. However, throughout her stay in England, the ship's handsome but irritating captain keeps trying to convince her that the Earl is not what he seems.
  3. Avalon High is a realistic fiction book based on the myth of King Arthur. Characters seem to be reincarnated from the myth. Ellie, daughter of two history professors, seems to notice this quickly enough, but can she stop the trouble that's brewing up in Avalon High (her school)? (The presence of good, popular AND handsome Will doesn't seem to help.)
  4. Lizzie is a girl who can't keep her mouth shut. In fact, her babbling lands her in trouble with her financially-troubled boyfriend, and is the reason why she is on a train to France, ready to spend the rest of her holiday with her friend at a mansion there. She spills her secrets to a stranger who's kind and understanding... and then finds out he's the owner of the mansion she's going to.
  5. Heather Wells is a former pop star who retired from the business when her manager (and boyfriend's father) laughed at her idea of writing all her own songs. She has since grown increasingly plumper and lives in semi-obscurity with her boyfriend's brother, Cooper, the black sheep of the family. The trilogy (Size 12 Is Not Fat, Size 14 Is Not Fat Either, Size Doesn't Matter) follows her as she solves death after mysterious death in the dorm she works at.

Comments:

  1. Jesse. Is. Awesome. Enough said. Not gory enough that you'd get nightmares, so should be safe to read at night. I have books 4 and 6 if you want to borrow them. (There are 6 books in the series.)
  2. The captain is just plain awesome too. Rather interesting read considering you'd think Meg would write chic lit better than historical fiction. I don't have this book (I borrowed it from the library). Another historical fiction I'm planning to check out is Nicola and the Viscount.
  3. I LOVE THIS. Its sequel, a manga, was recently released but I haven't checked it out yet. I have it if you want to borrow. Its plot is actually really good and it's not so cheesy-romantic.
  4. Very interesting- the mansion's owner Luke is sweet! I'm planning to buy the sequel Queen of Babble Gets Hitched. Warning: at the end of the book there's a PG scene but it's not too explicit. (I don't have this book.)
  5. Very, very awesome. The solutions to the mysteries aren't obvious. While it isn't Agatha Christie-mystery-awesome, the series still makes for good reads. I have books 2 and 3 in the trilogy if you want to borrow.

There! I need to make my bed now.

Is it such a crime if I can't hear you 'cos I'm listening to music?

I am a self-confessed shopaholic who's obsessed with Broadway and Photoshop. My laptop, iPod and vast collection of books are probably my best friends, along with my awesome set of markers, countless notebooks, and of course, those humans I like to talk to. I'm going to post a little wishlist below this, and if you're a kind soul you'll peruse and grant some wishes.


  1. A (cropped?) blazer of black material or dark blue denim.
  2. Lots of pretty skirts.
  3. Strappy platforms/espadrilles.
  4. Embellished tank tops.
  5. Straw clutch.
  6. Twilight series.
  7. Shopaholic series, sans & Sister.
  8. A walk-in wardrobe.
