Chick Lit?

I%26#039;ve been getting into a lot of Chick Lit over the past year and am looking for another author in the genre. I%26#039;ve read Helen Fielding, Meg Cabot, Evelyn Weisenberger, Sophie Kinsella already. Any suggestions?
Chick Lit?
am pretty sure you%26#039;d like the twilight series
Chick Lit?
Try these authors:


Cara Lockwood (I Do but i dont, i did but i wouldnt now)


Sarah Mlynowski (as seen on tv, milkrun, fishbowl)


gemma townley (little white lies, learning curves, when in rome)


jane green (the other woman, second chance)


emily giffin (something borrowed series, baby proof)


beth harbison (shoe addicts anonymous)


madeleine wickham (gatecrasher) this is sophie kinsella%26#039;s other writing name


donna kauffman (sleeping with beauty)


megan mcafferty (sloppy firsts, second helpings, charmed thirds, fourth comings)
Reply:You should absolutely try the Twilight series. They are very quick reads despite their size. There are three books currently in the series but the fourth and last is scheduled to be released in the beginning of August.


Twilight is about a girl (human) that falls in love with a vampire. I can%26#039;t stand science fiction but this book still really interested me. Actually I couldn%26#039;t put it down.





But if you want a non vampire choice, I suggest: The Jane Austin Book Club, Garden Spells, and of course there%26#039;s always Pride and Prejudice!
Reply:Ellen Hopkins. Her lit is AMAZING. No joke, I am -addicted- to her books. My two favorite books [CRANK %26amp; GLASS] are a starting point of a series, about a girl named Kristina [18] who has a die-hard addiction to meth-amphetamine. The over all aspect of the book may be overwhelming with the drug content, but her story is truly touching. I wish everyone could hear her story. If you read those two books, I promise you will never regret it.
Reply:Have you read all of Sophie Kinsella%26#039;s books? She has 4 Shopaholic books plus 3 non-Shopaholic books, all of which are wonderful. There is one that just came out called %26quot;Remember Me?%26quot; which I think is my favorite of hers.





Some recent chick lit I%26#039;ve read and liked:


The Lipstick Jungle - Candace Bushnell


The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio - Terry Ryan


Angry Housewives Eating BonBons - Lorna Landvik


The Little Lady Agency - Hester Browne


God Save the Sweet Potato Queens (multi-book series) - Jill Connor Brown


The Mermaid Chair - Sue Monk Kidd


The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd


Everyone Worth Knowing - Lauren Weisenberger





I have heard good things about Jennifer Weiner but haven%26#039;t read any of her works yet.
