Chick Lit Book Reviews

I like chic lit books. The total lame girl meets boys, girl gets boy storyline.
I like the authors Kate Brian (private series), Anna Godberson (the Luxe series), Susan Elizabeth Philips, Louise Bagshawe, Sarah Dessen.
If you have read these authors books and have similar interest and can think of other authors it would be great if you could let me know!

If you like those kind of books, you should really read Tithe By Holly Black. Its a really great book, the main character isn’t lame…she is kick ass and full of attitude, and she does get a guy and its a really awesome story. If you like romance, unexspected twists and turns, humor and some unpredictable characters…then you should really read the series. Its kind of dark in my opinion, but its worth the read.

Im 24 and I want to write a chick lit novel with a multiracial character and I want to know would any race read about a multiracial character? Also are there any cliches you HATE in chick lit? Any advice? Thanks!

The race of a character doesn’t deter me from reading a book. As long as the narrative is smart and engaging, I’m in. Have you come up with a plot and title yet?

A couple cliches I hate…
-Clumsy, damsel-in-distress characters. So overdone, and a little insulting in my opinion.
-The idea that all women are obsessed with shoes and chocolate.

Good luck with your writing!

Why does Full Metal Alchemist take 1 month to release a new chapter, I mean both Naruto and Bleach release new chapters each week. I mean they only started showing Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood like around April this year but still dont you think I chapter a month is abit too much. I mean i dont understand how it takes on month, are they running out of ideas to write and that they need some time to come up with new stuffs?

Here’s your perfect answer-

Shonen Jump (the magazine that serializes Naruto and Bleach) are a WEEKLY magazine.

Shonen Gan-Gan (the magazine that serializes FMA and also Soul Eater as dylan c mentioned) is a monthly magazine.

It’s been like that for a good amount of time.
And no Hiromu Arakawa is not running out of ideas and Studio Bones is the animation company that decided to start Brotherhood a while back- judging that the manga would end by the time they catch up to… where the manga is at. (doesnt seem like it though huh? Bet Bones wishes they took more time on those first fifteen episodes)

I want some good romance teen movies (aka: chick flicks) and books (aka: chick lit). Nicholas Sparks books and movies based from his books are super good. Do you know any more I might like?

I just need to get some ideas going for a chick lit novel Im going to write.

Something real life that REAL people can relate too. It’s so tiring when the happy couple are perfect for eachother and desperately in love. WHY not make them fight over who is going to pay the bills, or maybe the girl wants the guy to not be such an a-hole. Maybe they have kids and the girl is about to lose her mind because she hasnt slept in three days and the guy is no where to be found because he’s at the bar with his fat friends. Maybe at the end of the book she can set him on fire in a nearby field, because he’s ruined her life. That would be fun to read.

I’m thinking of reading the book "The beach comber" but first I want to read a few book reviews to make sure it’s actually worth my time. Can somebody tell me where I can find various book reviews on the book "The Beach Comber" by Josephine Cox or can somebody actually tell me what they think of it? Thank you!

Well it depends on how chick-lit you wanna get. I mean there’s Sandra Brown books which are certainly considered chick-lit but I think aren’t really great reads.

I would suggest the following that I have read and really enjoyed:

All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve,
The Right Attitude to Rain by Andrew McCall Smith,
Jumping in Sunset by Ringling
Mine Are Spectacular by Janice Kaplan,
Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson
Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz
Open House by Elizabeth Berg
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert

I hope you enjoy these!

So I am writing this story where 5 sixteen and seventeen yearold girls get kidnapped and taken to a dungeon where they are tortured. BUT, the only thing is I wanted to kill them by their bras, because i mean, come on, girls hate bras anyways right? How would these chics feel if their bras killed them. lol. Its like the ultimate irony. So I have a bunch of ideas, a girl could get dipped into a barrel of acid, boobs and bra first. She could be chained to the wall and have gas poured in her bra and have it lit on fire. But I am trying to get some more creative ones out there. Any ideas and suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I have had some strange ideas for stories, but this is a new one. Oh, for a map of your mind! But hey, let’s give it a thought or two.

Suppose the bra contained (perhaps sewn in or attached somehow in a capsule or thin pouch) a deadly poison. It could be slow-acting or fast, but it of course must be deadly if the victims are to die. The poison container is water-soluble, and perspiration is water, so as the temperature in the room rises and the victims sweat more and more, the poison is released. This poison is a kind that penetrates skin.

Or……….suppose the bra contains those infamous flesh-eating bacteria and a device that helps the germs enter the body–say, pins or blades or something like that. The germs go to work.

Or….suppose you, the crazed killer, made a noose of the collected bras and put to the gallows each victim as the remaining victims watched.

Or………….you could play "musical bras." The music would play, and each girl would have to grab a bra and put it on before the music stopped. They would be one bra short, of course, and the one who failed to get one would pay the price.

Or………..you, the creepy, crazed, psychopathic electronics wizard could wire the bras with signal generators and connections to an enormously powerful capacitive discharge "jolter." As long as the girl kept her head up straight and high, she would be safe from electrical discharge, but if her head bobbed, she would trip the switch and send a jolt of electricity into her body through the bra. Each time it happened the marvelous device you built would increase the voltage and current just a little, as well as the duration of shock. Eventually, as the girl got sleepier and sleepier, the charges would increase to the, uh, point of no return. And, since you are a mad scientist of the old school, you would have made this of huge transformers and vacuum tubes and massive capacitors and lots of flashing lights and arcs running along pairs of wires.

Gad………….I must stop this before the world knows of my madness! Hey, have fun, but keep it at the story level, okay?

"Will Write For Shoes: How To Write A Chick-Lit Novel" by Cathy Yardley is an excellent resource for learning how to write these popular novels. Target.com has this book for $11.21. Here’s the link: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-1188332-7655342?asin=0312359004&afid=yahoosspplp_bmvd&lnm=0312359004|Will_Write_for_Shoes:_How_to_Write_a_Chick_Lit_Novel_:_Books&ref=tgt_adv_XSNG1060

I heard that they will release it on Dec 2009, or was it July 2010? Can anyone tell me when they will be releasing their new album?

Don’t believe anyone who gives you an exact date, because there isn’t one. So far, all we have is 2010. It wouldn’t be impossible for the album to be pushed to 2011, this is not uncommon, but 2010 is likely. The band recently played music for their record label and started recording demos a few days ago.
