I LOVED the Shopaholic Series Marybeth! They were such a fun read! If you want them I can pass them all along to you!

I read The Kite Runner last week and I liked it. I finished Poisonwood Bible last night and I absolutely loved it.

Re: good books
This isn't chic lit, but a good book from a local author, Jodi Picault. She has others, but this is my fave:
The Pact

The Secret Life of Bees was great. Another one I loved was "What Looks LIke Crazy on an Ordinary Day." It was an Oprah book, I think, but I can't remember who wrote it.

again, not chic lit, but I loved My sisters keeper by her.
As for Chic lit, I am a few chapters into Something borrowed, and so far it is cute.
