What is there to not love about Valentine's?
When I was growing up, my mom always made a special point of making Valentine's day a celebration for my brother and I, special treats and notes in our lunchboxes and of course, the requisite boxed V-Day cards!
Today was my morning off, so I was able to watch Martha - and everyone was wearing a "I "heart" Martha pink t-shirt! So cute, esp. for all you crafters out there. But I was please to see that she had on two of my favorite chick lit authors, Jennifer Weiner and Jane Green! They were so pulled together and chic - especially Jane Green, who is British (why am I obsessed with everything British - the accent, the proper manners, the tea - who knows!?)
I read Little Earthquakes by Weiner this summer and it was a great read. Jemima J by Green, which is one of my favorites, is going to be made into a Lifetime movie - I can handle that.
I love "chick lit" (which, by the way, I'm an English Lit.grad student and my peers love to trash "chick lit" BUT there are many verifiable arguments for it, so please, don't let anyone tell you it is trashy romance!) whenever there are a few new paperbacks at Target, I'll indulge!
I'm a huge reader & when I have time to read anything besides my 2 books a week for school, I have fun with it - I love children's books too, maybe I'll do another post on those.
Some of my favorite reads are the ones I mentioned above
Good in Bed
The Nanny Diaries (movie this summer)
Shopaholic series
Bridget Jones's Diary
Something Blue
The Devil Wears Prada
What are some of your favorite chick lits?

love love LOVE the shopoholic series. recently finished The Right Address and EveryoneWorth Knowing, they were a lot of fun. I think, judging from the other books on your chick lit list, that you would love them!
I love the Jennifer Weiner books. I haven't been able to get into the shopoholic books and I've had something blue forever and can't get into it either. I'll have to try again.
Chick Lit is wonderful!
Have you read She's Come Undone? It's actually by a guy, but you wouldn't know. Good stuff.
I found Jemima J at my hair salon in Richmond. There was a little tag inside that said it was from some kind of book exchange thing, you just leave your books for someone to find. Hooray.
have you read Always a Bridesmaid..fun read.
