Chick Lit recommendations

reddinge · January 2010

I'm always looking for fun books to read, even though it takes me about a month to finish one these days. Any ideas?

What genres do you like?

Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series is great. The books are long and sometimes the first few chapters are hard to get in to, but once you do you'll be addicted.

I just finished all of the Twilight books. I just started Jenny McCarthy's Baby Laughs then doing all of the Harry Potter.

I have a few books that were beach reads lying around that I'm done with that are just taking up space. If you want em, PM me your address & I'll throw them in the mail. I'm trying to purge in the new year. I have to go to the post office to send out a few late Christmas gifts anyway.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, it's a series. Totally chick lit and I love it!

Thanks Ladies! I'm a big Jennifer Wiener fan and I've read all of the Twilights and Harry Potter books too haha. I'm into funny, girly, true to life stories. I just got Something Borrowed from the library yesterday and I'm looking forward to checking out your other suggestions.

The Shopaholic series. Also a book called Secret Diary of a Call Girl by Anonymous.

If you love the girly books like I do (Shopoholic and Something Borrowed....) make sure you read Lauren Weisberger - Devil Wears Prada, Everyone Worth KNowing, and Chasing Harry Winston. I'm currently reading Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah. I like it bc its about an evolving friendship...one friend who doesnt sleep at all bc of her baby...I can relate!

dreamast.romain · January 2010

I like pretty much any Jane Greene novel.

haleymay18 · January 2010

Basically anything from Sophie Kinsella, Emily Giffin, Jane Green. And if you like mystery (which I just started to on a whim-never thought I would) Laura Lippman is amazing.

I read those Lauren Weisberger books too! A good new mom book is Little Earthquakes, by Jennifer Wiener. It's about 4 different women's stories, loved it!!!

Is the show True Blood based off of these books?

Yes they are! But there are like 7 of them that I know of and honestly it won't ruin the season for you. The books are better but I do love the show...especially Alexander Skarsgard! Yummy!

Jennifer Cruise! It turns out that I don't like a whole lot of chick-lit, but I really like most of Cruise's books for their humor, likable characters, and writing that doesn't make me feel dumber. They are my favorite "bathtub books."

Anything by Julia Quinn.

Little A's Mama · January 2010

Ditto to the Jen Lancaster books. ALL of her stuff is hilarious!

Wally Lamb is my all time favorite author. He wrote "She's Come Undone" (which is my favorite book) and "I Know This Much Is True" as well as his most recent "The Hour I First Believed" (my second favorite book.)
