Chick Lit Book News & Upcoming Reviews

I wanted to post an update to the Chick Lit series I started not too long ago.

This week I plan on reviewing the book I finished up last week Burning the Map by Lauren Caldwell. I thought this book was a great book for any 20-something to read and definitely a book that most of us can relate to at one point in our lives. It was a good, quick read in that the plot was interesting and kept drawing you in until you sat down and finally finished the book. One other thing I’d like to point out is that while it is a Chick Lit book and part of the Red Dress Ink Publishing Series, it did not read like normal chick lit does. The characters had a bit more depth and the language was normal everyday language - not a book laced with slang or “chicky” words. It also refrained from being too graphic which I appreciated. I hate nothing more than too graphic books - call me prudish I guess. So if you haven’t picked the book up yet, I highly recommend getting a start on it and then coming back and reading my review later this week and discussing with me.

This week I am rereading Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger. Lauren is the author of The Devil Wears Prada and writes pretty fun chick lit books. I enjoyed reading this book last summer and wanted to see if I still would enjoy it a second time around. Lauren also just released a 3rd book Chasing Harry Winston which I am ordering from Amazon.com today so I can start it next week. So same as before, pick up the books and get started and let’s discuss in the upcoming reviews!

If you have a book you’d like to recommend and discuss please drop a comment and I’ll be sure to check it out. I am always looking for a new book to read.
