Has anyone read any good books lately? I really like to read chick lit books because they're so easy - trouble is I can't seem to find any good ones now. I've read and can thoroughly recommend The Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella, The Devil wears Prada, Easy (although it's a little honest), Crossing the Paradise Line by Anabelle Giles. Can you recommend any others?

I try to balance a chick lit with something more "intellectual" - doesn't often happen!!! I can recommend Raffaella Barker - don't let the name put you off!! "Hens dancing" is excellent. Also Isabel Wolffe is ok, and Imogen Parker.Just reading "I don't know how she does it" pretty good, and read "Don't try this at home", Katie Pearson. Anna Maxted, Paullina Simmons, Emily Barr, all easy to read. I also like Margaret Forster, and Janet Evanovich is great for light hearted crime. Hope this helps!!!

Anything by Jane Green, Jill Mansell, Marian Keynes make excellent reading- 'switch off books'.
Jampot, I am about to take a huge load of books to the charity shop (all chick lit) after much nagging by dh so if you'd like me to send you (or anybody else) a couple then please let me know.
