On my to see/read list

So sorry I haven't been updating my blog, I've been lazy.

I'm using this post as a list of movies I want to see this summer and a list of books on my to read list.

Movies:

My Life in Ruins, June 5, trailer: This looks cute and will have many shots of Greece, which I LOVE.

The Proposal, June 19, trailer: This looks goofy and I haven't seen a Sandra Bullock flick in forever!

My Sister's Keeper, June 26, trailer: I teared up just watching the trailer. I somewhat question the choice of Diaz as the mother, but it won't keep me away from the theatre.

The Ugly Truth, July 24, trailer: Sorry, but who doesn't love Katherine Heigl?

Funny People, July 31, trailer: This looks decent, I'll be interested to see the supporting comedy and if they can pull it off.

Julie & Julia, August 7, trailer: Amy Adams and Meryl Streep together again?! Yes please. Plus cooking unhealthy food with no experience, so great.

Post Grad, August 21, trailer: Alexis Bledel, enough said. Plus, no one makes movies about how bleak life looks right after you graduate college. It's about time.

Books on my to read list (more so I don't forget what I want to read):

"My Sister's Keeper," By Judy Picoult: I have to read this before I see the movie, so it's been bumped up to the next book I am reading.

"Firefly Lane," By Kristin Hannah: Picked this up at Target. Looks like a nice, light summer read.

"The Man of My Dreams," By Curtis Sittenfeld: Currently devouring Sittenfeld's third novel loosely based on the life of Laura Bush. I missed this book when it came out (her second novel) and I love everything by this author, so will have to read this one.

"The Soloist," By Steve Lopez: Heard nothing but good thing about this book.
