Ok, now I am going to have to read that Jackie Collins book!
I tend to like slightly darker (though still comical) chick lit. I like Janel Brown's All We Ever Wanted Was Everything, Amy Sohn's Prospect Park West, and I just started reading K.L. Brady's The Bum Magnet which is making me downright scream with laughter! |

Well ladies, I've read once piece of chick lit, and it so happens that I enjoyed it a great deal: Gidget by Frederick Kohner.
The author was a father of a teenage girl, and he was inspired by his daughter's life to write the book. I suspect that fathers of teenage girls would enjoy the book more than teenage girls do. http://www.amazon.com/Gidget-Frederi...0080313&sr=1-1 |

Lauren Weisberger-Chasing Harry Winston, Everyone Worth Knowing, The Devil Wears Prada (not the movie!!!!!)

For those of you who like series, check out the Sophie Katz series by Kyra Davis. My book club this month read the latest, Vows, Vendettas, and a Little Black Dress, and it was pretty funny! Maybe not the most complex of murder mysteries, but definitely colorful characters and great one-liners.
Vows I've learned is actually the 5th book in the series, so I may go and try to read them all in order now... |

Interesting. I didn't know I read Chick-lit till I read this thread.
Probably everyone has read Janet Evanovich and Charlaine Harris, but thought I would mention them. While Janet Evaovich doesn't make me laugh aloud as much in her straight romances as her Stephanie Plum they are worth reading and I still get quite a few chuckles from later Plum books. Previous thread in this forum on Cozy mysteries is kind of related. Generally pleasant reading with romance and humor as important as the mystery. AND you can get many of these as ebooks from your local library in one form or another. |

She's labeled "Romantic Fiction," but I think Robin Kaye has chick-lit leanings as well. Funny main characters, cute stories, easy reads with happy endings. Oh, and a smattering of sexy.

A few Ive been through recently and enjoyed:
The Monday Night Cooking School by Erica Bauermeister Serving Crazy with Curry by Amulya Malladi Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen (which is technically a memoir, but it fits the feel of chick-lit to me) Also, anything by Lisa See or Gail Tsukiyama make me happy. |
