anyone here into chick books?

[ficklefaye]

similar to chick flicks, usually romantic comedy? i''m currently reading, ''almost single'' by advaita kala

it supposed to be the indian version of bridget jones''s diary, i''m enjoying it so far

 

[radiantquest]

Not usually, but I have read a couple that I enjoyed. I tend to read them after I read heavy material to lighten things up. I read Bridget Jones Diary. Another one is Rachels Holiday. Its thick but it is good. An author that writes girly books that I like is Marian Keyes

I like them, if they''re not like a typical Harlequin romance type. I''ve read a lot of them that I''ve enjoyed..I should write the authors down tho..b/c I never remember. Then I''m left with Google, typing in key things I recall to track them down.

I tend to read a bit of everything but read chick lit to unwind as they are usually very easy to read. My favourite author would have to be Meg Cabot (adult fiction). I just love her books. But i do enjoy other authors like Jennifer Weisberger, Emily Giffin and Sheila O''Flannagan.

I don't read a whole lot of chick lit these days, but I do love Marian Keyes and Cecelia Ahern. Enough to try and get them off Ebay if they're released in Europe before the US.

I have read Meg Cabot too. I think after My Sisters Keeper I will have to do some light reading. What do you suggest?

I LOVE them, so easy to read.

Some favorite authors of mine are Sophia Kinsella, Jane Green, Emily Giffin, Jennifer Weiner, and Lauren Weisberger.

I really like Isabel Wolff. The Trials of Tiffany Trott is a kick, though it''s been a few years since I read it.

Audball, I also really like Emily Giffin and Sophie Kinsella. I think Sophie Kinsella''s real name is Madeleine Wickham, and she has books in her real name too. One of them is called the Gate Crashers or something like that. After a while a lot of these books start sounding the same but I still like them. Are there any other chick lit authors out there? I haven''t read them all but I feel like i keep seeing the same authors over and over again.

Mary Janice Davidson has the Undead series. I''ve only read one book (Undead and Unemployed) but I enjoyed it! Jennifer Crusie is another.

Interesting fact, didn''t know this! I will have to look for her other name! Thanks for the tip!

I'm enjoying Sophie Kinsella (Undomestic Goddess is my favorite so far). I'm also enjoying Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series -- she weaves (or should I say knits?) together the stories of several women, all of which have happy endings, of course. A good formula, and she does it well.

There's also an older author I like whose name I can't recall offhand. She wrote the Shell Seeekers, and a number of romance-oriented books set in England and Scotland. Definitely girly stuff although, like Debbie Macomber, the main characters' ages probably vary a bit more than the those in the true "chick lit" formula.

VR -- I think Rosamund Pilcher wrote the Shell Seekers. I think...

I just started ''Chasing Harry Winston''. Only a few pages in but so far, I''m hooked. I''m a sucker for chick lit.

There is also Jill Mansell. She''s got a fair number of titles out and some new ones coming
