Yes, I like some serious stuff too, i have a fair few books with the penguin classics logo, and i love Agatha Christie, but I like to lose myself in a chicklit book every now and then, that I don't really have to think about, where mostly, everyone lives happily ever after.

I loved the bridget jones books, like the shopaholic stuff and enjoy carole matthews, marian keys etc.

please tell me it's not just me

me.
chiclit has its place. sometimes youjsut want to read something completely escapist and relaxing.

I quite like it too, especially if it's chicklit-with-a-brain iykwim. Can't stand the "Tara stood tapping her Jimmy Choos in a stylish wine-bar in Soho" type-thing.

Cannot, now, remember ANY authors I like in this genre.

I love Chick lit! Esp running around after a toddler all day, it makes nice easy reading to wind down.. I Love Marian Keyes, and Cecila Aherne and Fiona Walker, the odd Jodi Picoult slips in sometimes too....

Oh yes. I like the humour. And of course, some chicklit (shudder-hate that phrase) is better than others of course.

Marian Keyes and Sophie Kinsella are fab writers!

YES. I am an obsessive reader. Usually have at least 2 books on the go...and one of them is usually chick lit. Want to swap authors? Some are actually quite uplifting. Am now going to raid my 10 ft bookshelf for some titles for you...
