You didn’t think Carried died with the movie, did you?
Because if you did, you might be so glad to know she’s back – but younger.
Candace Bushnell and Harper Collins have teamed up to bring you, The Carrie Diaries, a two-book deal that explores Carrie’s life as a teenager, and the series of horrible, awkward dates she went on and the cute, but slightly stupid boy from her geometry class that she pined endlessly for in between scenes in Theater.
The books come out in 2010, sure to be followed by that replacement to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Darren Star’s been praying for.
Hold on to your Maddens, girls!

Don’t get me wrong, I love SATC as much as the next girl but isn’t this beating a dead horse? Time to move on…
Kinda looks like Haylie Duff
guest #1 could not agree more.
Oh my god, Flight of the Navigator! Yesyesyesyesyes!
This is why I love you guys!
ugh, make it stop. I agree with guest #1 – the show was awesome, but they’re just squeezing water from a stone.
The movie was enough to put the series to bed for most of its fans. These books really can’t beat the show – they shouldn’t even try.
I read this in my local paper, and what I thought was not the beating a dead horse thing but the audience thing. To want to go back in time with Carrie, you would’ve had to have been following Sex and the City, but these are pre-teen-type books. Even if they have teenagers in them, the main audience would be those girls who are just younger (or quite a bit younger) than the characters in the book. And the idea that that audience would be familiar with SATC is either ridiculous and overlooked or disturbingly inappropriate.
I have to say, though: I always wondered about those women’s families. That was always so strange to me, that they didn’t seem to be attached to anything but each other. I mean, where did they spend Christmas? Didn’t they call their mothers once a week or something? I wonder if Carrie will have actual parents in the book. Or maybe we’ll learn where all that neediness originated …
haha I couldn’t agree more guest #7
