Larger PD9 Cover; Back cover blurb

Meg has posted the new cover and the back cover blurb on the message boards.

Here is the part that's new:

~Heartbroken Princess Finds New Love~

From the New York Post:

Is it splitsville for New York’s own Princess Mia Thermopolis (of Genovia) and her longtime boyfriend Columbia University student—and commoner--Michael Moscovitz?

Moscovitz is rumored to have accepted a year-long appointment at a Japanese robotics firm in Suksuba, where he’ll be working on a top secret project.

If so, her Royal Highness doesn’t appear to be pining for her onetime love—or wasting any time getting back into the dating scene. Her former beau has already been replaced by a mystery man who accompanied the young royal to a performance of the long-running Broadway show Beauty and the Beast Friday evening. Undisclosed sources say that the young man is none other than John Paul Reynolds-Abernathy IV, son of the wealthy theater promoter and producer John Paul Reynolds-Abernathy III.

A fellow theater patron who observed the young couple in their private box asserted, “They certainly seemed cozy up there,” while another stated, “They make a very attractive couple. They’re both so tall and blonde.”

When asked for a statement, a Genovian Palace spokesman has said, “We do not comment on the Princess’s personal life.”

The rest of it I've posted before. Can't wait to read it, though!

New PD9 Cover / Princess Diaries Yearbook 2008

There is yet another PD9 cover - the new one is now red instead of pink, and has a star-shaped locket. Very Christmassy. Oh, and I had the release date wrong on the previous entry - it will be released December 26, 2007.

Anyway, the UK fans have something exclusive - the Princess Diaries Yearbook 2008 has been released this week. It contains an exclusive short story called Princess in a Panic. It's about how Mia loses her diary and fears that someone may be reading it. Not sure when it is supposed to take place - maybe between books 8 and 9.
