Cinnamon Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Amazon have a 'released soon' page. If you are after chick lit,Paige Toon has a super new book out, & its well worth checking out her other offerings too like 'Lucy in the Sky'. I like bit of chick lit between slightly heavier reads,& especially when I am on holiday,as i find it hard to concentrate by the pool. I have just downloaded some new stuff to my Kindle - Very Valentine & Encore Valentine by Adriana Trigiani are both great. 'A perfect Proposal' by Kate Fforde looks good - I am saving that one for Centerparcs next month,along with 'Girl Friday' by Jane Green,who is one of my favourite authors. I am currently reading 'Eat pray Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert,which I am enjoying,& its being released as a movie with Julia Roberts soon. Hope this has helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then if you ask where you find new books, you know what will happen But glad it was of some help. Out of interest, what have you ordered? I've been having a spell of reading chick lits recently. I just can't seem to read anything meatier. Just finished Sophie Kinsella's 'Remember Me?' Isabel Wolff 'Forget Me Not' and Kate Long 'The Daughter Game' (which wasn't anywhere near as good as her other books.) I love reading Isla Dewar. She seems to have more substance than other chick lit authors. Oh, and Marian Keyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I read a few Marian keyes books a few years ago and they were really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I love her too - Watermelon is a great book, along with the others that involve that mad Irish family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I like how the stories are told from the different perspective of the sisters. I always read them with an Irish accent (in my head - not out loud ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I do that too! I had terrible trouble when the No 1 Ladies detective series first came out,as I didn't know a Botswana accent & kept slipping into Bengali Another older chick lit book that I read over & over is Jemima J by Jane Green - its fab. I am going to mention the Paige Toon books again too,as they are really,really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall have to try that when I re-read them. Make for an interesting book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little cluckers Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Bluekarin, I ordered (from playtrade, very cheap ): Things I want my daughters to know by Elizabeth "Ooops, word censored!"le The death and life of Charlie St Cloud by Ben Sherwood (film being released in Oct/Nov) Her fearful symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger Probably not chick lit as such but they caught my eye and had good write ups. I also saw this on Facebook http://catchergoneawry.wordpress.com/ He's only 21 and has just started a blog, I think he's great and am chomping at the bit to read Matched by Allie Condie (not out til 30th Nov) I will give the Sophie Kinsellla a go as I loved her shopaholic series. Haven't tried Isla Dewar but will give her a go. I love recommendations I've never read any Marion Keyes either....Well I can't say I've got nothing to read now Cinnamon, I do the same as you, I like to alternate my reading styles, a heavy one then an easier going one. I find I don't tend to get bored then. I shall try Paige Toon too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The Death & Life of Charlie StCloud is one of my all time top 10 favourite books Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 My favourite Marian Keyes book is 'Is There Anybody Out There', it is really moving. My OH likes Marian Keyes, (I read the book I have just mentioned on his recommendation) and Katie Fforde too, he moves between these and crime novels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
