Tell Me the Book You Most Want to Read This Summer!

I'm already celebrating Summer with the movies in my Netflix Challenge, but I also have a hankering for something literary to bide my time.

I'm already celebrating Summer with the movies in my Netflix Challenge, but I also have a hankering for something literary to bide my time. With so many adaptations in the works, there are plenty of reads to pick from — so much so that I've decided to start up my book club yet again. And I'd love for you to join me!

Starting next week, I'll be cracking open a brand-new book, but I don't want this to just be one of my choosing — I'd like for you to weigh in on which story you'd like to read first, too. Whichever gets the most votes will be declared the official winner (democracy at its finest, people). If you need a refresher on what they're all about, click here; then check back, as the book club gets going!

Anna Faris Adds Chris Evans to Her List of Conquests

Anna Faris and Chris Evans have signed on for the comedy What's Your Number?.

Anna Faris and Chris Evans have signed on for the comedy What's Your Number?. Based on the book 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak, the story follows a young woman (Faris) who hits her "number" quota (read: the total men she's slept with), and thus, revisits her ex-boyfriends to make a relationship with one of them work. Evans is presumably stepping in to play Faris's lothario neighbor who helps her on her search, but I think we can all see where this is going — she realizes she doesn't want her old loves and falls for her womanizing (but adorable!) friend instead. But hey, that's just my hypothesis.

We first heard rumblings about this project over a year ago, and since Faris's forte is funny, semi-raunchy scenes, I'm glad to see it finally come to fruition. Granted, the idea of a "number quota" is a little dumb, but I can't wait to see what guys pop up as her past loves. Hello, awesomely awkward actor cameos.

Have you read 20 Times a Lady? What do you think about Anna Faris and Chris Evans as an onscreen couple?

Anna Faris Gets More Roles — Yay!

I really love watching Anna Faris onscreen.

I really love watching Anna Faris onscreen. I may not have liked House Bunny as a movie, but I was completely charmed by Faris and I would love to see her carry more films that perhaps showcase her talents even more. So — today there's good news for Faris and all of her devotees: She's got two more projects coming down the pipeline.

One is a romantic comedy adapted from Karyn Bosnak's novel 20 Times a Lady. The story follows "a woman who goes on a trek through her sexual past in an effort to find Mr. Right, exploring the idea of a person's sexual quota and whether those numbers matter."

The other is an untitled pitch from Faris herself, along with Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, and is described as "a female buddy comedy following two estranged sisters who team up to land a husband." Paramount picked up the project and Happy Madison will also produce.

Who do you think should play her sister? And are you as psyched as I am to see Faris in more starring roles?
