ok i'm coming out of the closet I love chicklit - anybody else???

[sparklyshoos]

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

Pillow - I love the Tatiana and Alexander books, they are wonderful.

Sophie Kinsella writes uder anotjer name too, can't rememnber it though, but is also CL, though more grown up.
Madeliene Wickham. Just remembered.

Jodi Piccoult's considered ChicLit . I read her as my "intelligent/heavy weight" fiction! Ooops

Do like Chiclit but have to keep the brain alive occasionally with some murder/detective stuff. I am a Sophie Kinsella nut though, managed to read the latest in a day (did feign sickness and farm dd off to mothers ) and love the author of "Cuban heels", whose name escapes me

i started reading chicklit since had dd, i find it relaxing.
i read whole a lot of kinsella book last year, read wendy holden school fo husbands last time. now in secret life of slammy mummy by fiona neill.
will appareciate recommendation on good book please. dont wnat to spend something i will throw up half way or less

I love chicklit, read loads of it, pure escapism that I don't have to think about!!
Just finished some Cathy Kellys and I love Catherine Alliott, "Rosie Meadows Regrets" creases me up.
And yes, I do read serious stuff occasionally but I read to relax and for fun

Alexandra Potter, Lisa Jewell and Pauline McLynn are all fun and frothy - nice and easy after a crap day.
