Chick Lit Book Reviews

Also, is there any 3rd party app store rumors going around or a set release date?

it was supposed to be released this month some time, but that got delayed….silverlight (MS version of FLASH) my have something to do with this.

check out ZHDapps.com for a full list of 3rd party zune HD apps..all are free. you need to install XNA (free) to get them on the device tho.

as for an app "store" my guess if it ever happens is some time this summer when win-mo 7 comes out. hopefully MS will be smart enough to intigrate the zune HD into being able to run win-mo apps. but who knows if this will happen or not.

I am trying to find reviews on the book The Outsiders. However, they need to be somewhat professional reviews by a newspaper or magazine.

I have read Sophie Kinsella novels like Undomestic Goddess and Can You keep a secret. It an ok book and I like it. Can you recommend some other chick lit novels. Thanks.

Janet Evanovich’s novels about Stephanie Plum, a female bounty hunter from New Jersey.
I would also recommend P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern, My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult,and Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Hope I helped

Do you know of any websites that prove this?

Do you want statistics or our personal experience?

If you want personal experience:

I use them all the time.

As for websites, check library reference databases to look up articles.

I love all the adult Meg Cabot’s, so anyone who liked those and has read similar can I please have the titles?

Can You Keep a Secret? By Sophie Kinsella is my favourite ever chick-lit book, it’s really funny. Her Shopaholic series is good too. I’ve just read Sushi For Beginners by Marianne Keyes which was good. Or theres the classic Bridget Jones’ Diary.

I’m not a big reader, but I want to start reading more. I have found a few books that people say are "chick lit" books that I’d like to read, but they aren’t at my local library. I’m wondering what section of the library would have similar books. A few of them are Luscious Lemon, Notes From the Underbelly, and Tales from the Crib.

Most libraries put fiction just under the author’s last name. Luscious Lemon, for example, is by Heather Swain so you’d look in the "S" authors alphabetically. The other two are by Risa Green, so you’d look in the "G"s. Other authors to look for:

Jane Green
Sophie Kinsella
Laura Wolf
Rebecca Eckler
Helen Fielding
Laura Weisberger

There’s a good article about chick lit here that talks about some of the types and gives suggested authors:

And I’m sure your librarian will be happy to help.

I’m writing a book which is in the genre of chick-lit and drama. It’s fiction too of course. Only the ending is a big shock and not your typical chick-lit happy ending and it’s a little controversial too…Would this put publishers off?

Us there any reason to ask again? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aqt1Xfc9k8kW0e6KTWypEm_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091231074850AAU8oDi&show=7#profile-info-UUzNc6Qjaa , where I said:

If the book is basic chick-lit throughout, then has a controversial, shocking ending, that will definitely put off readers, and publishers know that, so it’ll put them off, too.

While there’s not as rigid a formula for chick-lit as for romance, it requires a feel-good ending. You don’t end Bridget Jones or Sex and the City with a protagonist who gets a backstreet abortion and dies of sepsis, or joins a cult, or decides she likes girls. Readers will feel cheated.

I’ve got no issue with controversial and/or shocking endings, but they need to fit the genre.
