SteveScaffardi Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 So with Christmas just around the corner (eeek!), I am planning my Christmas shopping and each year I normally get my wife a new chick-lit book as a stocking filler. She is a big fan of Sophie Kinsella and Louise Bagshawe, but I wondered if you guys could recommend any other authors, or even a new book my Kinsella or Bagshawe? Thanks in advance!

chaliepud Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 How about Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, not really conventional chick lit, probably not even chick lit at all, despite the cover indication that it is, but an excellent light yet moving read that comes highly recommended by many of the female members on here..

Michelle Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Carole Matthews is popular, and will probably have a new book in time for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this and was going to suggest it myself but Chalie beat me to it Nicholas Sparks is a great chick lit author and so is Paige Toon if that helps. Can't go wrong with any of them. If chosing Nicholas Sparks either The Notebook, The Best of Me, The Last Song & Paige Toon Lucy in the Sky or Pictures of Lilly. Hope that helps Btw although not chick lit has she read the Twilight Saga? Edited November 13, 2012 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveScaffardi Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Thanks guys, sounds like Jojo Moyes could be a winner! PS - Has she read the Twilight saga? Not only has she read it but insists on telling me about it all the time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) If she's read the twilight series I thoroughly recommend 'the host' by the same author. It's not chick lit, if anything its sci-fi but believe me i'm a chick-lit lover & a massive twilight fan & the host has blown me away just as much as twilight. After the first 100 pages it's amazing & I would say its up there with twilight 110% . I can't get enough. If you want that something special 'the host' or 'me before you'. Btw it's worth mentioning I'm not into sci-fi either. As Stephenie Meyer says it's sci-fi without being sci-fi Edited November 14, 2012 by Star Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Carole Matthews is popular, and will probably have a new book in time for Christmas. I don't usually read chick lit at all, but Matthews is pretty good. The Chocolate Lovers' Club and the sequel, The Chocolate Lovers' Diet are both excellent reads.
