This work, a continuation of his first series, showcases a blend of humor and cultural commentary, reflecting the changing landscapes of society and nature during this period. The author's keen observations provide not only entertainment but also a lens through which readers can consider broader themes of community and belonging. Cecil Torr was an English author known for his insightful reflections on British society, influenced by his own experiences in the pastoral environment of Devonshire.

    Mia Thermopolis knows just what to do in a crisis: Rule. 
    During the Covid-19 pandemic, a section of the diary of Princess Mia Thermopolis of Genovia fell into the hands of Meg Cabot, the Princess’s royal biographer. 
    As reported in media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly, The Mary Sue, Refinery 29, Bustle, and more, from March until June of 2020, sixteen entries of the princess’s diary were leaked onto Ms. Cabot’s blog, to the delight of over a million fans. 
    In these entries, titled The Coronavirus Princess Diaries, the princess recorded her most heartfelt emotions while dealing with her husband’s quarantine after exposure to the virus; her personal (and political) battles while imposing health restrictions on her small European nation; life during lockdown (even in as idyllic a location as a palace on the Riviera); and of course, dealing with her demanding royal family, especially her grandmother. 
    Since then, readers have been clamoring for more chapters of Mia’s coronavirus diary . . . and here they are at last: The Quarantine Princess Diaries include not only the previously released entries (now edited and updated with new content), but two hundred more pages of entirely original, never-before-seen entries, including the princess’s worries over a possible royal affair; a showdown between Mia and Grandmère over the latter’s intended nuptials; the eventual development and distribution of a groundbreaking intranasal vaccine for every citizen in Genovia; and, as always, a royally happy ending. 
    After all we’ve been through, what could be more comforting for any lover of royal romance than snuggling up with a brand new installment of the diary of Mia Thermopolis, the princess who started it all? 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    "Candide" is a satirical novel written by the French philosopher and writer, Voltaire. It was first published in 1759 and is considered one of the most famous works of the Enlightenment era. 
    The novel tells the story of a young man named Candide, who is optimistic and believes that everything happens for the best in the world. However, he is faced with a series of tragic events, including being banished from his home, witnessing a devastating earthquake, and experiencing war and injustice. 
    Throughout the novel, Voltaire uses irony, sarcasm, and parody to critique various aspects of society, including religion, philosophy, politics, and human nature. He questions the idea that this is the best of all possible worlds, as espoused by the philosopher Leibniz, and argues that the world is full of suffering and injustice. 
    Despite its serious themes, "Candide" is also known for its humor and wit. It is filled with absurd characters and events, and its witty satire often takes aim at the hypocrisy and absurdity of society. 
    Overall, "Candide" is a complex work that explores the human condition and the flaws of society through a combination of tragedy and comedy.

And it becomes his chance to flip the tables on his affluent and perpetually disappointed deacons.While often comic, Getting Huge resonates with the Great Resignation and quiet quitting, as it shows how the pursuit of other people’s goals and ideas of success can cloud judgment.
