Hey Sugars,

More Chick Lit is on its way to the Big Screen! We all know and love the adaptation of Helen Fielding's wilding successful, mother of all Chick Lit, spawn of this whole craze: Bridget Jone's Diary. More recently its sequel, Edge of Reason, has managed us a quick tease. But Girls, its just the beginning for Chick Lit on Film. Get ready for Rachel's Holiday, The Devil Wears Prada, Fashionistas, The Nanny Diaries, and I Don't Know How She Does It. Stars already cast for such films include Kristen Dunst and Catherine Zeta Jones. Also coming, In Her Shoes starring Cameron Diaz and Room Service starring Jessica Simpson.

If you are of equal opinion as us, the movie is much more enjoyable when you have read the book first. So with this new and exciting news, read up! Take this info with you while deciding your next good read. Another reason not to judge a book by its cover alone!

Start this month with Jennifer Weiner's In Her Shoes. Two sisters with nothing in common except the early loss of their mother, a critical stepmother, and the same size shoes, turn to each other in times of personal crisis. In an attempt to find a sense of family in a dysfunctional setting, the pair's differences cannot be more apparent. Rose is the plain yet successful Princeton graduate, while Maggie is the younger, adrift sister. When an outrageous act of betrayal seems to split the sisters for good, each woman takes separate paths to self-discovery and reconciliation. Delve into the lives of the Feller sisters and meet their long lost grandmother as these women begin to find understanding and what it truly means to live in the other's shoes. The movie starring Cameron Diaz is rumored to be released sometime in early 2005.
