I can’t believe the holidays are here already, but it’s true. Which it means it’s time to talk about holiday gift giving. And what makes a better gift than a tiara book? Look below to see how you can gift the book lover in your life a signed book (or book plate!) by me.
But before I tell you how to get signed copies of my own books, please look at this list of some of the amazing books I read this year that were NOT by me! I cannot recommend them enough for gift giving, and I wish I had room to list all I read and loved in 2022:
For your Friend Who’s Obsessed With Royal Romance: Tracey Livesay AMERICAN ROYALTY
For your Friend Who’s Obsessed With Murder Podcasts: Mariah Frederichs THE LINDBERGH NANNY
For your Friend/Relative Who Wants To Read Something “Like Bridgerton” Only Not Bridgerton Because She’s Read Them All: Lorraine Heath RETURN OF THE DUKE
For your Friend/Relative Who is starting a new job: Julie Tieu CIRCLING BACK TO YOU (not exactly a sequel to last year’s THE DONUT SHOP by Julie, but a work place romance, so educational for what happens after you get that great job)
For The Little Kid In Your Life: Rachel Vail SOMETIMES I GRUMBLESQUINCH
For your Friend/Relative Who is obsessed with WitchTok: Danielle Paige THE MONARCHS (sequel to THE RAVENS which hopefully you got her last year)
For your Friend/Relative Who claims to “Have No Attention Span/Time to Read”: Ann Liang IF YOU COULD SEE THE SUN
For your Friend/Relative Who loves Grey’s Anatomy: Shirlene Obuobi ON ROTATION
For Your Friend/Relative Who “Can’t Find Anything Good To Read”: Bolu Babalola HONEY & SPICE
But if you’re STILL looking for books by me for the Meg Cabot reader in your life, and would like SIGNED copies (and/or personalized), you can order them from Books and Books Key West which also happens to be an indie non-profit bookstore (a qualified [501(c)(3)] charity) set up and co-operated by none other than famous author JUDY BLUME (as well as other community-minded Key West citizens).

All you have to do is visit the online Meg Cabot page at Books and Books KW, select the book(s) you’d like, and let the store know how you’d like the books personalized (or if you’d only like them signed). You don’t even have to speak to anyone if you don’t want to, you can write the instructions on the comment section when you order.
Then leave the rest to Books and Books! (The store is happy to ship internationally, so no worries about that, either.)
ORDER in-stock items by 6PM EST on 12/7 in order to guarantee arrival by 12/25 (domestic orders only)! You can still order after 12/7 for arrival by 12/25, but you’ll have to pay extra for expedited shipping. The store cannot guarantee arrival dates for international shipping (this includes Canada).

Now for some frequently asked questions:
Q: Is there really a Princess Diaries 3 movie coming out?
A: Yes! It’s a go at Disney, and a script is being written. No pressure on the screenwriter!
Q: Do you have any new books coming out?
A: I do! Look for Quarantine Princess Diaries in March 2023. 10% of my proceeds go to VowForGirls!
Q: What is happening with The Mediator Netflix series?
A: There’s good news and bad news about The Mediator. The bad news is, the people at Netflix who loved The Mediator were let go. The good news is, The Mediator film rights are now available once again! So I’m confident that, like Jesse, The Mediator film/series will live again.
Q: I can’t afford to buy a new book. Do you have any other suggestions for holiday gifts?
A: Yes! If a book is out of your price range right now, don’t worry! You can still get that special someone a literary gift. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope (SASE) to my PO Box (address below), and I’ll return it to you filled with the autographed bookplates (indicate how many you’d like, and if you’d like them personalized), and maybe some other swag pictured here while it lasts (jewelry not included)!
Send the SASE to:
Meg Cabot
P.O. Box 4904
Key West, FL 33041-4904
Send your SASE now (RIGHT NOW) so it can be sent back to you in time for the holidays, and so that you can then give the enclosed items to your friends/loved ones!
(PS If you feel like you’ve seen this before, that’s because I posted it last year…and the year before…and the year before that. I like that while the world around us is changing all the time, THIS ONE THING DOES NOT CHANGE AT ALL. Many thanks to the kind staff at Books and Books Key West for making this possible.)
Please stay safe during this holiday season! I’m very much hoping to see you in 2023!
More later.
Much love,
Meg
