princess books

I agree with a lot that has already been said: It's next to impossible for me to pinpoint my single favorite author. But I can tell you I don't have a wide variety of non-fiction writers to choose from.
One author I deliberately return to time and time again is Meg Cabot. But, again, more because I've been able to identify her as a teenage-girl-fiction writer than because of the fact that she's Meg Cabot. Probably her more famous writings, The Princess Diaries, are somewhat distinct for their being in diary-format, although that isn't completely original or unheard of. This series, as well as everything else I've read from her, has this cutesy little touch of fantasy. But they're novels intended for teenage audiences, which helps me feel less stupid about still wanting to read princess stories.
But essentially, what makes me like Meg Cabot's writing so much is, again, its nice girlie styling. And I've found similar appeal in many many many different authors (among these: Kieran Scott, Judy Blume, Victoria Ashton). Meg Cabot just happens to come to mind when at the library or writing in the class blog.
