greetings

Posted by chantal moore, 3 years ago

Hello all! I'm new here and was actually online looking for a book club to join in my area. I am looking to meet some new people (hopefully in person) and to share my love of reading, which is not limited to chick lit. I am trying my hand at writing some chick lit and would love to find someone who is in the same situation, so that we can serve to motivate each other. Do any of you do that?

I absolutely love Jodi Picoult, Jennifer Weiner, Olivia Lichtenstein and Carrie Adams, but also Ken Follett Maeve Binchy and even Michael Crichton. I just love fiction! Looking forward to reading your comments here. Cheers!

New Emily Giffin Book!! :)

Posted by Kristy, 3 years ago

Sorry this is a repeat post for those that are in the Giffin Fans group...but wanted to share with all fellow chick-lit lovers :)

Emily Giffin's new book will be called Heart of the Matter and is slated to be released Spring 2010. Only dissappointment is it looks like all new characters...I'm still hoping for a follow up book to Something Blue :)

There is a sneak preview (first chapter - about 6 pgs) of the book on her website:

Enjoy!

Sexiest Man Alive by Diana Holquist as Decadent as Mayan Chocolate Haagen-Dazs!

Posted by Christine Bode, 3 years ago

Well folks, the Hachette Book Group USA (Grand Central Publishing) have done it again! I have liked every book I’ve read that they have published and they’ve become my leading source for smart, fun chick lit. The latest absolutely, entertaining and, as addictive as fine Belgian chocolate gem I’ve read, is Sexiest Man Alive by the hilarious Diana Holquist. From the moment I picked up the book with its bare-chested stud muffin in a plush red towel lustily draped by perfectly manicured hands with cherry-coloured fingernails, I knew I was in for some fun! With the tag, “Every woman’s dream just became her reality”, I immediately flashed to my own fantasy with People magazine’s current sexiest man alive, Hugh Jackman, and shuddered with the possibilities! What woman hasn’t fantasized about getting it on with a famous movie star? If there is such a woman who exists out there, I’d like to know!

Sexiest Man Alive is the story of painfully shy, unknown costume designer, Jasmine Burns; a woman who becomes sick with shyness in the presence of attractive men and a very likeable character whom you find yourself rooting for all the way from the first pages. The unique thing about Jasmine is that she has a zany, psychic gypsy sister named Amy whose only power is that she can sometimes tell a person the name of their One True Love (when her spirit guide “Maddie” feels like telling her!) and the name of Jasmine’s O.T.L. is the same as People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, actor Josh Toby. It just so happens that movie star Josh is in New York City - incognito -to try to gain respect as a serious actor. He’s preparing for his stage debut in the role of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet in an off-Broadway production of the famous play by Willy Shakespeare.

Josh Toby happens to be in an arranged, fake relationship with his best friend/otherworldly beautiful superstar, Cleo Chan, who is really in love with him, and as Jasmine doesn’t realize the relationship is fake, she doesn’t think she’d ever stand a chance in hell with Josh.

Meanwhile, there is another Josh Toby…a librarian at the New York Public Library who would be much more suited to Jasmine’s shy personality, so Jasmine has to arrange to meet both of them and try to figure out which Josh Toby is her One True Love. Hilarity and cold showers ensue!

This book is fast-paced, funny, well-written, and a perfect summer beach read. If you’re going to write trash, make sure it’s excellent trash - Diana Holquist is Queen Trashionista . Sexiest Man Alive is as guilty a pleasure as Mayan Chocolate Häagen-Dazs and the sex scenes are almost as delicious! I was actually a little bummed out when I finished it!

At the end of Sexiest Man Alive you’ll find the Prologue for Diana’s next book, Hungry For More, and after reading it, I’ve decided that I will likely read everything this woman has to offer because her books are just way too much fun!

Vampire Books Wanted

Posted by Danika Rowell, 3 years ago

I loved the Twilight Saga, "The House Of Night Series", and "The Night World Series", but i have no other books to read. I usually order them at my local library because that's the cheapest way but i'm desspret. I really like that whole dark, vampiric kind of genre. Any Suggestions??

Cecilia Ahern?

Posted by Peekaroo, 3 years ago

Has anyone read this lady's novels? I purchased P.S. I Love You a while back but saw the movie first and was terribly disappointed...is the book worth the read? Also, I am tempted by her other novels, but first would love some of your feedback! Thanks!
