I won’t officially start posting my progress on my book challenges until after our Grand Opening Party, but I wanted to go ahead and post about another challenge that I will be participating in this year – the 2009 Chick Lit Challenge. There was a time when I almost looked down on the term “chick lit” because I thought of it as more of the romance genre that my mom read. *gag me* But then I met Stephanie Plum and all of that changed. All of a sudden I realized that chick lit was not the “sex books” that my mom had read all of my life.
And now I’ve expanded and am more than happy to know about more and more chick lit authors – besides Janet Evanovich, I’ve also fell in love with Sophie Kinsella. I hope to pick up another author this year. Any suggestions?
But back to the challenge. To participate in the challenge you are supposed to pick 10 books you will read during 2009. It’s ok if they overlap another challenge and if you change your mind and want to eliminate or add a book at any time, that’s ok.
My 2009 Chick Lit Challenge Book List
- Plum Spooky by Janet Evanovich
- Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks

Oh I see you have a few that I’ve read recently – the Meg Cabot books. I can’t wait to hear what you think of them!
You’re a Southern Gal, right? May I suggest Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very, very) Bad Day written by Toni McGee Causey, and the follow-up Bobbie Faye’s (kinda, sorta, not exactly) Family Jewels
If you like the Stephanie Plum series, I am absolutely certain that you’ll love Bobbie Faye!
