And it was fun to think of going to school to become a princess. I don’t think I’ve ever seen magic like that before. I thought the thing that was most unique was the magic of quarry-speech. It had the same magical yet serious tone and a beautiful setting with a very mild sort of magic. Does Princess Academy remind you of any other novels you have read? If so, which ones and why? If not, what makes it unique? It reminded me a little of A Book of a Thousand Days by Shannon Hale. As far as my name, my middle name a family name passed down on my dad’s side.Ģ. Do you know why your parents chose your name? Does your name have a special meaning to you and your family?

Miri’s father tells her that her mother named her “after the flower that conquered rock and climbed to face the sun” (page 14). I love discussing! You can just leave a comment or leave a link if you write a post.ġ. Might be entertaining at the very least….)Īnyway, since it’s Utah Book Month, I thought I’d post these questions and my answers in case any of you out there want to read Princess Academy this month and discuss. (Also, I am tempted to post some of those really old documents here on the blog. You can see how I really, really needed a book blog.īut now my random thoughts can be shared with all the people! This makes me so happy (even if like no one reads this).

And it made me kind of sad that that was the closest I was going to get to discussing books in-depth. I didn’t know anyone that liked reading, so I answered the questions in a word document and saved it on my computer. So I want to confess something – waaaay before my time as a book blogger, I would come across discussion questions in the back of books and want to discuss them SO BAD.
