When I went to Jennifer Weiner's signing a couple of years back, I brought my copie of "In Her Shoes" because I was too embarrased to show her my dog-earred, water-logged, stained and spotted copy of "Good in Bed."

When I told her this, she looked a bit disappointed. "I love those copies," she said. "That always makes me feel like I did something right."

Which is why I'm taking my falling-apart copy of "The Princess Diaries" to the Meg Cabot signing tomorrow. :-P

Should I check out The Princess Diaries, then?

And Jennifer Weiner goes up yet another notch or two. God, I love her.

OMG you must read "The Princess Diaries." I mean, they're so good I reverted to text-messaging speech.

You'll love them.

And I'm missing the signing. :(

Nuts. :( How come?

Since I just bought some Ben Folds and another copy of Good in Bed, I'll have to hold off on buying Princess Diaries right now. But it'll be the next thing I allow myself to splurge on. :)
