Okay, so this book (by author Sue Monk Kidd) has literally been on my "To Read" list for...let me count for a second....5 or 6 years. Somehow I've managed to read plenty of others from that list, and subsequently made new ones, moving that title over to the updated versions, yet I still have not boughten or checked it out.

I better get a move on it, if I want to read it before the film adaptation hits the screens. The trailer already has me excited.



The film follows Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning) who — along with her stand-in mother, Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson) — escapes from her abusive father, and takes up with three beekeeping sisters (Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and Sophie Okonedo) in a pink house in Tiburon, South Carolina. Plus, little Dakota Fanning is growing up!! How cute is she in this photo with J. Hudson?



Let me do that math for you: Queen Latifah, Oscar nominee; Sophie Okonedo, Oscar nominee; Jennifer Hudson, Oscar winner; Alicia Keys, rock-star/pure talent; Dakota Fanning, best child actress since Jodie Foster.

I'm excited. Totes. (okay, I just can't use that expression seriously)
