Well, I'm able to join! I discovered at the library that this book has been translated into Estonian, so of course I picked it up!

Yay, Mion!!! I hope it will be entertaining for us all, and that the humor translates well :)

The editor of this book is one of the best in Estonia, so my hopes are high!

I just picked up the book yesterday. It was a very hilarious read. I kinda feel in love with the character straight away.

I probably didn't expect a book based on royalty to be this funny and realistic at the same time.

I can now sometimes see why my husband feels left out when I read. This book for me personally was very insightful so far .

I'm 21 pages in, - it felt a bit quirky in the first few pages, but I quickly settled in to the author's style and I'm chuckling at the clever, playful wit!

I love how the story is progressing with a love of reading sneaking in and taking over:

"What she was finding was how one book led to another, doors kept opening wherever she turned and the days weren't long enough for the reading she wanted to do" (page 21)

hehe we ALL know that feeling, don't we :)

YES! There were so many moments when I felt I really relate to the story!
