The Second Summer of the Sisterhood
If you have read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and don't know how the sequel can compare, I am here to tell you that it is wonderful. I rarely get involved in a book enough to read it in one day; however, I read this one (almost 400 pages) in one day. The book tells the story of four teenage girls and the pair of pants they share. May sound a little cheezy I know, but I like it. Additionally, the narrator of the story consistantly changes and keeps your attention. I know this won't be inticing to many of you, but it is kind of like a soap opera. There may be one story line you are all about, and you keep watching to get more on that, but along the way you get hooked on the whole damn thing. For those of you who read one of these (or maybe others too), there is a quiz you can take to see which character from the story you would be. The quiz is called Who's your Sister Soulmate. Unfortunately, they don't make it easy to blog, but I'm aligned with Bridget. Which means that I am going to probably need medication in the future and that I have a grandma in Alabama. Read more about all THREE books at Sisterhood Central. Maybe this could be a good gift for someone's niece or maybe you should just start the series yourself. Chip, you love a good series and you said you were like a romantic teenager in your preferences.

The Gauntlet 2
Dude. How did I miss that the new RW/RR Challenge started airing last night? Oh well, at least I can relax, knowing how MTV loves to rerun shows like The Gauntlet 2. Will report soon.

Sliding Doors
Let me start by saying that I adore Anne Marie, and I love everything about her. BUT, she liked this movie and so, because she is my Netflix friend, it was recommended to me. But I hated it. BLECK. Didn't like one single bit of it at all. Now, I should have known: I do not like romantic comedies. HATE them. Bleck. So the label "romantic comedy" should have been caveat enough. But I watched it based on the fact Anne Marie "Really Liked It." But I hated it. But I knitted the whole time so it wasn't all bad.
It's an interesting premise: how a woman's life might turn out differently if she manages to catch an Underground train or if she just misses it. Either way she finds love with one guy, and mistreated and cheated by another. And there's a lame unnecessary reference to Monty Python. Bad bad bad. Was there anything I liked? Gweneth's short blonde hairdo. Anything else? Hmmmmmmmm. No.
