Books in 2003
- Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
- The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
It's hard to remember which books I actually read in 2003. My GoodReads only goes back to 2007! The Shopaholic series was definitely something I was reading during this era, and I think I was reading them in 2003. I think Shopaholic Ties The Knot was released in the US in 2003. I was also reading The Princess Diaries books, and Princess in Waiting and Princess in Pink were both released in 2003. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was released in 2003, but I didn't read it that year(I had read the first Harry Potter book, but did not read the rest of the series until sometime between the fifth and sixth books).
