Hi Jassie Smile. I've read the Princess Diaries series too (not all though, only the first six main books), and I think it's cool. Have you read any other books by the same author (Meg Cabot)?
Are you reading The Princess Diaries in English?

I don't read all series too.Meg cabot is person who I like the best.Her story has a improbably world for real, I think.But for this reason , her story attract my intrest.

I read " All Americann Girl". Do you know? It's cool too. I want to read book in English.However I can't use English well enough to read book in English. :(

Yes, I've read All-American Girl. I like the humour in Meg Cabot's books, though I understand what you mean about them sometimes being a little too out-of-reality and she overdoes the romance in it sometimes.
They're funny though. ^_^
Aha, so what language do you read it in?

I am only in England temporarily, my home country is actually Saudi Arabia : ). In fact, I'll be returning soon, I hope, God-willing.

Your English is good, considering you only started 6 years ago Wink so there's no need to envy me ^_^. Besides, I'm sure Japanese is a cool language too.
I've been in England since I was a little kid, so I grew up learning English, but I love Arabic much more.

What sort of books do you read most? Teenage, SciFi, fantasy etc?

Yes, my parents are doing their Doctorates degree here, but now they've finished, so hopefully we'll be returning soon.
I'm 15 in April, how about you? You sound older than me- you said you study English at college. I'm assuming you're around 17-20?

Do you know The Inheritance trilogy? The first two books are out- Eragon and Eldest. It's a sort of fantasy.

Looking younger than your age is a good thing ; )

Eragon is a good book, but I didn't like the movie at all. It's about dragons, elves, dwarves and things.

How about 20,000 free books that you can either read online or download and read them on your free time. Project Gutenberg is the place:

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

Don't know where to start? Let's see what people are reading:

http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top

Here's another site with free books online.

http://www.literature.org/authors/

If you're new to the English language, may I suggest Aesop's Fables:

http://www.literature.org/authors/aesop/fables/

I'm currently reading Grimm's Fairy Tales just for fun.
