Book Rating
Princess Ben is not your average Princess. She isn't interested in learning how to behave like a queen and her less than skinny figure isn't putting her their either much to her Aunt's dismay. What do you do when your mother has been killed, your father is missing and you've become next in line for the throne. Misbehave of course. It's because of this attitude that she discovers a whole other side to the castle and to what she's capable of!
I really enjoyed the characters and the plot. This is actually the first princess book I've read. I only wish there had been more of the magical side of things in the story but I still loved it.

Representation and a caste system that is broken. Crows are at the bottom but without them the world would die of disease.
Characters are represented subtlety and you almost miss it. It is woven so seamlessly into the plot.

The Princess Bride meets Six of Crows and together they burn the world down.

If you enjoy the As You Wish of Princess Bride than this needs to be on the top of your list.

Which Lie Did I Tell?
William Goldman | 2001 | Biography

Book Favorite

"The second non-fiction book by the legendary novelist and screenwriter responsible for such classic films as The Princess Bride (a personal favorite), Marathon Man, All The President’s Men and Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. Like the prequel, Which Lie Did I Tell includes candid behind-the-scenes stories, a window into the process of how to write good scripts and how The Princess Bride became his first screen credit in nearly nine years. A thoroughly entertaining insider’s look into how Hollywood works."

Princess Elizabeth's Spy (Maggie Hope Mystery, #2)

8.7 (3 Ratings)
Book Rating
Maggie Hope gets her first assignment for British secret service - go to Windsor Castle and act as Princess Elizabeth's tutor all while looking for any evidence that there is a plot on her life. Maggie has hardly arrived when someone is murdered. Was the princess the target? Once again, this was a fun World War II spy novel, and I enjoyed spending time with Maggie. However, some editing glitches and a very familiar sub-plot did bother me some.

The Great Christmas Bake-Off! Netflix's The Princess Switch (2018) #Review
As Netflix continues to make its big push to become the new Hallmark, a slew of cookie-cutter Christmas movies have started appearing on the streaming network. “The Princess Switch” takes the well-worn tale of “The Prince And The Pauper” and dusts it with the seasonal covering of icing sugar in the form of a fictional European principality, a conveniently staged baking competition and a pair of star-crossed would-be lovers...

I don't know if 5 stars is enough for this. Maybe 10?

Princess Jasmine was amazing, a true Disney Princess with an incredible voice. Will Smith as the genie wasn't anywhere near as bad as I was expecting. As for Jafar, well he was completely awful, like some kind of pantomime villain. Overall though, I actually quite enjoyed this latest, almost carbon copy of the animated original, live action Disney remake. Not bad at all, for a Guy Ritchie movie.
