Michael and Lilly are coming to spend Christmas in Genovia! Could Mia be any more excited? But there is a problem, how is she going to get Micheal the perfect present when her weekly allowance barley covers a movie and popcorn?

Haha first I love this book!! why you may ask? Because it starts off with the journal entry of December 22 (My birthday!!!!) but i would have loved it anyway ..that just made me love it more. And am i glad i read this book..at first i had decided not to read the in-between book but decided against. if i hadn't read this one i would never have known that lily was playing strip bowling (would have never expected this from her but then lily is a whole other story) funny how she got the servant fire...more
emang ga gampang nyari kado yg bener2 disukain tanpa harus nanya ke org yg mau dikasihin... 4 taon, kado g 2x dibalikin, 2x lainnya diterima tp kadonya standar abees!! komik batman!!
This short installment of the Princess Diaries series was way better then the previous one. I don't particularly feel that if you don't read this one you will be missing anything, however, I think that Michael & Mia are really cute in the one. Lilly I wanted to rip her head off and really don't understand why Mia is friends with her at all but I thought it was a good story. A great read if you only have maybe a half hour to kill and want to be done with what you're reading in the end.
I'm a huge Meg Cabot fan. As you all can tell, I'm currently reading all the Princess Diaries novels in order, and believe me, there's so many other books calling, but I'm staying true to Meg. But UGH, this one was not good. It's like the publisher came up to her on summer vacation and said, Meg, you need to do a little stocking stuffer book for your fans and get it to us soon so it'll be out by Christmas. So Meg drank a couple of Grandmere's sidecars and knocked this one out in a couple of days...more
Another "in-between" 50 page book. Book number 6 was checked out so I went ahead and read this one during lunch break--like an addictive soap opera, you can easily skip books and following the story plot easily. Boyfriend Michael and best friend Lilly come spend Christmas break in the Genovia palace. A modern-day O. Henry story ensues.

This one was ok, not the best one. Mia's personality didn't shine through as much as usual, except for her, worrying.
"OMG did I get Michael the right present? OMGOMGOMG"
And mia made a real stupid realization at the end she should've a longgg time ago,
and how funny was the end?
Anyway it's a very eventuful 85-page book.
SCRAPBOOK!

Micheal and Lilly spend Christmas in Genovia! Of course, things can never go off without a hitch when it comes to Mia, so even though the book is short (only 84 pages) it's full of laughs over things including hordes of cats, strip bowling, and botched gift-giving. Cute, short, and sweet.

Found it at the library. It's only 85 pages so I blew right through it. I liked it a lot better than the other mini-book, Project Princess, because in this one it was Lilly acting like a twit and not Mia. Lilly really is unbelievable.
The stuff about the Madame Alexander doll of Mia cracked me up. :)

I have only read the first book in this series, and I completely understood this book. As long as you've read the first book, you can read these books out of order. Though it was a VERY short read, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I guess it's time to give the Princess Diaries books another shot!
It's christmas! What Mia usually does during christmas is spend time with her family in Genovia. This year her best friend and her best friends brother are coming to Genovia. She can't think of anything to give her best friends brother who just so happens to be her boyfriend.
2.5 stars.
It's not awful, but there's not much of a story here. Lilly and Michael spend Christmas in Genovia with Mia. Lilly acts rude, and Mia gets upset. Meh. Skip it unless you feel the need to read everything from this series.

Mia is spending the holidays in Genovia with her grandmother. This year, Michael and Lilly are joining them as well. Mia couldn't be happier. However, she soon finds out that Lilly behavior is not quite palace-appropriate. Also, Mia needs to find the perfect gift for Michael. What's a princess to do in a situation like this?

Don't go to the extreme to get something when it might alrady be there. Nothing is perfect so do try to make it that way, just do the best you can and you will come out on top.
uggg. read in 2 days. easy! i mean, is the princess so stuck up because she just realized what it is like to be a princess? because she also seems (at heart) kind and genuine.
This is my favorite one so far. I liked that it took place in Genovia, the characters were fun (and the annoying ones less annoying), and the plot moved along briskly.
What I Find Tiring:
*Lilly being awful in every way
*Mia being so clueless and stupid that she never realizes what is happening, even as she writes the obvious clues in her diary
*Meg Cabot thinking this technique is funny

Diary Putri Mia kali ini berisi tentang curhat dia dalam menghadapi liburan natal nya kali ini sebagai Putri Raja tentunya.
Nothing special, just kind of a way to extend the series. I would have done without this installment
Short and sweet. Although not an original idea ("Gift of the Magi"), it still made me smile.
Michael and Lilly come to Genovia for Christmas but it could be the best or worst Christmas ever.
In this book, Lilly and Michael go to Genovia to visit Mia for Christmas. They have a lot of fun, but Lilly is pretty rude throughout the whole book. I really can't see why they are friends.
Nice, short book. No sex mentioned in this one - enjoyed it more because of that. :)
Michael's present is like the best present that any boyfriend could give
I didn't like this one at all. I think it was just to short.
