New Site Layout & Server Move Nearly Complete

Hey all!  I have finally completed the server move for ChickLitBooks.com.  It’s about 90% done, as I may be making some more changes soon.

You will notice there is now a contact page (located on the menu bar under the site header image).  On that page is a contact form.  Please feel free to use it to send feedback, suggestions, ideas, critiques, etc.  If you are an author and would like me to feature your book on the site, feel free to let me know!

Also, I am looking for reviewers… if you are interested, please contact me and let me know!

Thanks for your patience during this move and site upgrade, and keep an eye out for new changes and updates.  I know I haven’t reviewed a book in quite some time, but plan to do so very soon.

Also, I will be doing a post with some great summer chick lit reading suggestions. Check out the ones on TeenChickLit.com if you already haven’t.

In the meantime, Happy 4th of July to all of my American visitors!

Review: The Anglophile


The Anglophile
by Laurie Gwen Shapiro
reviewed by Rian Montgomery
Buy From Amazon

Americans are obsessed with the British. Or maybe not all Americans, but it’s clear that many chick lit novelists are! Laurie Gwen Shapiro’s latest offering The Anglophile in fact features a woman who absolutely loves anything to do with the British – especially the men.

Shari Diamond, a linguist working on her Ph.D, is the Anglophile in question. She has been obsessed with nearly anything British since early childhood. Since she can’t exactly go and live in England, she contents herself with dating British men who live in the U.S. Continue reading Review: The Anglophile

Review: Big Girl

 Meet Victoria Dawson, heroine of Big Girl by Danielle Steel. The firstborn child, she grows up feeling out of place in her family because of her fair hair and thicker build. While the rest of her family is dark haired and thin, Victoria is blond, blue-eyed and according to her father, has his grandmother’s ‘big’ build. Victoria puts up with her father’s thinly-veiled barbs while her mother constantly drops weight remarks. Meanwhile her parents dote on the younger sister Grace, as she is beautiful and thin. Victoria and Grace form a strong sisterly bond despite the family tension.

Victoria goes to college at Northwestern, then later becomes a private high school teacher in New York City. She is aware that she often overeats – especially when things go wrong – but she doesn’t know what to do about it. Continue reading Review: Big Girl

Review: L.A. Candy

I won’t lie – I used to watch The Hills religiously every week when it was on and I’m a fan of Lauren Conrad’s. So of course I was going to buy a copy of her first book L.A. Candy, which happened to be a teen chick lit novel.

Set in the glamourous LA/Hollywood area, L.A. Candy was a fast and fun read about two girls who have just moved to LA together: Jane Roberts, who has just started an internship for celebrity event planner Fiona Chen, and Scarlett, an intelligent and outgoing beauty who is attending USC.

The girls are overwhelmed and enthralled with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood life. One night at a club, a producer approaches them about starting their own reality series, a “reality version of Sex and the City”. Continue reading Review: L.A. Candy
