enamouredI can't wait for March when the new Princess Diaries book--Princess in Pink--comes out. I read a sneak preview of it at Meg Cabot's site, and I also discovered she has a blog. It's hilarious and great. I can't believe they're going to have a sequel to the PD movie, though. The first one was cute, but it was nothing like the book. I will see it, though, because I adore Anne Hathaway.
Speaking of Anne, I also must see Ella Enchanted. I read it in seventh or eighth grade, and it was a really great book. I don't remember many of the details of it, except that Ella was under this spell so that she had to obey ever command given to her. I'll still see it though.
As Crissy observed a few days ago, there is a rash of princess/royalty movies coming out this year: Princess Diaries 2, Ella Enchanted, A Cinderella Story (with Hilary Duff, and I MUST see this because I LOVE Cinderella-based tales, even though Hilary Duff ain't exactly my favorite girl star in the world--I'm all about the Chad Michael Murray, though), The Prince and Me (with Julia Stiles, who I also adore), the movie version of All-American Girl (President's son in this one; kind of royalty-like, non?), and, of course, Chasing Liberty. I have to see all of them, because I am a sap. (I wonder if they'd ever make The Ordinary Princess a movie. I read that in second grade, and I loved it. I somehow lost my copy and I haven't seen it in a bookstore since, which is sad. It's a great story.) And, oh yeah, I so must see Spider-Man 2 and The Day After Tomorrow on the first days. (Tobey! Jake! EEEE! I am so unfailingly shallow.)
Wow, this looks like an entry that should go in the pop culture journal.
There are these guys who are on the Steve Harvey show moving their pecs to "Dueling Banjos" from Deliverance. It's amusing, yet it's possibly one of the most disturbing things I have EVER seen.)
And, for the random book nerds out there, here is Candice's List of Reccomended Reads. These are, for now, 18 books I've read entirely too many times, and I love them thismuch.
1. Sloppy Firsts, Megan McCafferty.
2. Second Helpings, Megan McCafferty.
3. The Giver, Lois Lowry.
4. My Side of the Mountain. I can't remember the author's name, but I read it for Battle of the Books.
5. Remembering the Good Times, Richard Peck.
6. Both Sides of Time, Caroline B. Cooney. (there's an entire time travel series starting with this book, which I definately reccomend.)
7. The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold.
8. The Pushcart War. Another author I can't remember.
9. Anne Frank and Me, Cherie Bennett.
10. The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen Chbosky.
11. The True Meaning of Cleavage, Mariah Fredricks.
12. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ann Brasheres.
13. The Second Summer of the Sisterhood, Ann Brasheres.
14. Someone Like You, Sarah Dessen.
15. Keeping the Moon, Sarah Dessen.
16. This Lullabye, Sarah Dessen.
17. Born Confused, Author I can't remember.
18. Life in the Fat Lane, Cherie Bennett.
The next time I get more money that I won't have to save (or use to pay my book fine), I'm going to Barnes and Noble and ordering a copy of The Ordinary Princess.
