Thanks to some amazing sleuthing and generous sharing from a Doll Diaries reader – here is the photo of the Lanie book cover. And UPDATED with the cover art for the second book, Lanie’s Real Adventures.
According to the book cover, Lanie is NOTHING like we expected her to look – but it was fun speculating. On the cover she is holding a flower pot and gardening supplies which does match the initial book info we got.Now, to see how she looks in doll form!! Again, if you have any more scoop, email it to share@dolldiaries.com.


















OMG Sara, are you the girl I passed notes with in my school? (Sorry if you are not..)
Yeah, I think Lanie is VERY pretty. I hope to see the doll before January.
Yeah, sure Lanie isn’t an AA but maybe 2011 will be different if they decide to make a GOTY for that time, but the new historical doll might be one, and maybe Lanie isn’t Christian.
what does it matter if shes chrisitian? i dont understand?
*Christian
i just wanted to know what you meant
Blond and curly hair eh? Lets hope she doesn’t have bangs. Man, I was really hoping to get another redhead. Oh well…
YOu don’t get it? Well, lets jest say that my dolls are as followed: Brown hair, blonde, brown, blond, and I am getting a brunette for X-mas.
The blondes I have both have bangs- I have Kirsten and Gwen and when I first got them, could barely tell them apart. I do hope she had darker hair- then again, rebecca didn’t look at all like her cover picture anyways.
If you were typing in all caps to get your comment noticed, well … that’s yelling. No big deal.
I think Lanie is so cute!! I might get her, but I’ll have to see her doll form first.
It’s the last day of school- and Hannukah! I’ve had an awesome week, guys!
Roxy, did you mean that maybe Lanie is Jewish or something?
lol! Rachel, I see that pattern you have going there! I really love all the dolls. if i dont get one for my birthday (tomorrow… yayy!) or christmas i’m so saving up for one. people tell me i took like chrissa but i dont really think so
lol^^ i meant look and by “people” i mean mostly my ag-obsessed cousins
I don’t think any GOTY except Lindsey had a specified religion. They tend to shy away from that with GOTYs so that parents don’t get upset about the doll being a certain religion.
Im so excited about Lanie! Shes so cute, I just wish they had a countdown, instead we have to wait until she comes out or an image is leaked. But atleast when she comes out it will be really exciting! When I get my catalogue and see her, ill scream!
hey guys I just updated my site and added a page about lanie, check it out and tell me what you think! Just click my name!
I’m going to race to the internet at midnight on new years day so i can see her if a picture is not leaked before she come out
I kinda don’t want her picture to be leaked, the past couple years it always has, i kinda wanna be surpirsed.
AG is being careful not to leak her picture this year.
i love your blog ashleigh it’s realllyyyy cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait till lanie comes out or when i get sonali yipppeeeeee
Yeah, when photos are leaked, it’s not as exciting on new years. I kind of don’t like to be surprised though.
I remember my mom was watching Oprah one night, when all of a sudden she called me into the room because Mia had been released!
I was so angry at the whole situation!
I agree with Ashleigh, I like knowing what to expect-appearance, story- and then being surprised by the actual doll.
I to, will stay near a computer or such at new years.
and Chrissa’s movie and stuff sorta gave away what she was going to look like, but I don’t remember a doll’s picture being released, was there one???
sorry, correction, my mom called me into the room ’cause Mia’s doll image was released on Oprah
Chrissa’s pic was shown in an article a few days before her release. Hehe…. for me it will be morning when its midnight Central Time, so I get to sleep before she comes out.
I need to get her! She is soooooooo cute! I am thinking that I will save my Christmas money to get her!
Yo waz up?? lol.
I wanted to tell u all that I am feeling much better!! It has been several hours since breakfast and I have been able to keep it down!! I guess all that sleeping I did payed off!! Yay!!! And I think I broke my fever!!!! Yay!! Me happy!!
Thats good Sarah, I hate being sick!
yea!!!! thats good sara!!!! me 2 i hate being sick yuck!!!!
guys i went on this website and it was telling about gwen and this is wut it said:
Originally, Gwen came with her hair pulled to the side in a white ponytail holder with two small pieces hanging in front and a pink headband. In February 2009, her hair was restyled to have a half ponytail near the top, and her headband was put around the waist of her dress for a headband/belt.
well i like the 2nd way better but i was always wondering why in feb they changed it so now i know……lol i think this is pretty cool
We’ve been traveling all night.I’m so tired….
i have such a bad headache right now and i was supposed 2 go 2 my friends house 2day but i didnt…
me 2 allie ugh i hate headaches!!!!!!!
hi lanie thats is really awesome ill be your friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
sorry guys i always use!!!!!!!!!!! points
hey where did your comment go lanie
I hate headaches. I’ll get them during class and it is SO annoying.
she looks so cute!!!!! i cant wait to see her in doll form!!! i want to get her sooooo bad!!!!
oh man. Gracie I kno exactly wat you mean!! I get head aches so often!! My mom even took me to the eye doctor to see if I needed glasses! (I don’t!!! Thank goodness!)
And Julie, (or whoever asked if I was the one who they passed notes to in class) that was not me.
does anyone have an estimated guess on when the will do that revealing puzzle-piece picture of Lanie?
Hmmm…. I don’t know if there WILL ever be a puzzle to be honest, Alexis. They won’t tell us anything this year!
OMG!!!
I really want her! And she looks just like my best friend!!! Except my best friend has straight blond hair and she has curly blond hair.
I assume if we get one, itt’ll be when Gwen and Nali sell out.
And Sara, what’s wrong with glasses?
Ya, I think Lena’s right, Gwen and Sonali are still available and until then I don’t think we should expect a puzzle.
yea Lena thats what I wanted to know whats wrong with classes?
i only need them to read but theyre not that bad.
*glasses
I’m very neer-sighted, so I need glasses to see more than six inches away, Normally though I wear contacts.
i think im farsighted? i just need them when i read something infront of me
it looks the same without them on but if i read without them i get sick.
i have glasses. im near-sighted and far so yea but im getting contacts!
All I really hope for is that she gets overalls. Yes, overalls. Jean overalls with a green or white t-shirt, the overalls have an embroidred butterfly, and it would come with a hat, sunglasses and sneakers.
I love the shirt Lsnie wears on her second book. I hope they sell that outfit.
I think I will email AG right now to see if they will do the revealing puzzle thing again this year.
