Now you ask who will play who. Blake Lively could be Samantha, Emma Roberts could be Miranda, Selena Gomez could be Charlotte and Elizabeth Olsen could be Carrie. I would go see this movie in the theaters. Sounds like it would be super funny and total chick flick movie.
Then another cover reveal I missed a few weeks back. Fracture by Megan Miranda from Walker Books for Young Readers.
Im excited to read this ARC that I was able to obtain at BEA in May. Ive heard great things about it and will just have to move it up in my reading list. Fracture will be released January 3rd 2012. To read more about the cover CLICK HERE to visit Megan Miranda's site.
Until next edition of Extra, Extra keep on reading.
I'm a huuuuge A Song of Ice and Fire fan and so the release of A Dance with Dragons was probably the best thing for me bookwise all year. It was amazing as GRRM always is.
