The new cover of Annie of Green Gables is awful! It looks like the publisher is trying to get boys to read the series, not girls. Great links!

Sandy – I loved Woodley in The Descendants – I haven’t seen Emma Roberts enough to have an opinion on that one yet.

Great links – I am off to check out the books and so excited to see what books have inspired movies! Not sure I can watch the Downton Abbey clip – is it an actual clip from the show? I am watching Season Three right now and have not seen any of the newer ones…

Marg – I loved that part, too!
That “cover” is hilarious! I’m going to be singing that for the rest of the night. I do love the substitution of “flabbergasted” instead of “overwhelmed”. And the “na na” part? Priceless. Thanks for sharing!
I’m not even going to discuss the new Anne cover. Sacriligeous doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Michelle – Flabbergasted! That was definitely my favorite part.
