The Blonde Diaries

A few weeks ago, Thanksgiving weekend actually, I was in the market for a new Chick Lit book.  I talked my brother into driving me to Barnes and Nobles after my extended family’s Thanksgiving meal in search for my new book to read while I was at home for the holidays.  I wasn’t quite sure what book I was after or even what author I wanted to read but I knew I needed a book as I had just finished Olivia Joules and the Overactive Imagination by Helen Fielding.  I thought about picking up her other book, Cause Celeb but wasn’t in the mood for it after reading the brief synopsis on the back cover.

So then I thought maybe picking up Sex and the City by Candace Bushnell would be good but Barnes and Nobles did not have that one in stock.  So I went searching the shelves.  I landed upon Meg Cabot’s section due to the brightly colored book covers and picked the Queen of Babble.  The Queen of Babble looked like an interesting book and it seemed to have at least a second part so if I could get into it I would have another book to look forward to.  I had slight reservations though because I didn’t know Meg Cabot other than from the Princess Diaries book series for tweens so I wasn’t sure if I would like her writing style so I only bought the first Queen of Babble and then Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight.

Well, I have to say that I absolutely loved the Queen of Babble Series.  Yup I ended up reading all 3 books because they were just that great.  I have actually read them all twice since Thanksgiving weekend, once as I picked them up, and then last week all in a row to get the full story without stopping.  This series reminded me so much of Sophie Kinsella’s Confessions of a Shopaholic Series.  A cute heroine, Lizzie, looking for love in all the wrong and right places, trying to start a career as a wedding dress rehabber, and dealing with some not so fun roadblocks along the way.  The books segwayed between each other very well and you totally could not tell where one book began and the other ended. If you like chick lit books, you will absolutely love this series.
