  3. Congratulations! I read your blog every day and am so happy to see your success.

    I'm reading American Rose by Karen Abbott right now and it's wonderful. Not sure if that fits in the Chick Lit genre, but it's about Gypsy Rose Lee - a fascinating woman with a riveting life story

  22. Congrats on the 600 !

    Thanks for the giveaway, perfect time of year to offer it.

    I haven't read as much chick lit this year as usual but the first to come to mind is - Wrapped up in You by Carole Matthews.

    She is really good at this type of novel and her writing seems to be almost stream of conciousness.

  60. Congratulations to Chick Lit Central and all the amazing women associated with the blog! My favorite chicklit novel for the year has to be Amy Hatvny's, Best Kept Secret. It had a great story line, but also managed to unmask a subject still shrouded by stigma for too many women. It was fun with a message! Chick lit Central is able to review fun off the wall comedies and novels with messages - a nice mix! I'm a member! xo writeoncindy@yahoo.com
