There's a movie called The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants that's recently been playing on several of my cable movie channels. So I've decided to read the book it was based on, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood #1) by Ann Brashares.

Now back to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!

I completed reading Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and was highly entertained by it. Like most books I've read that have a movie that has been based on them, the original book far outshines the resulting movie. That's not saying that the movie is not good (the one based on this book certainly was), just that the book is almost always much better, as was the novel Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Now on to another novel, but I've not yet decided which book on my TBR list to start reading next.
