Top Two Favorite Books
Hi, I'm L and I'm a Chicklitaholic
{Hiiiii, L}
When did I start reading chick lit excessively? 4 years ago. It was my first summer after my first year of teaching. I found myself married, home all day by myself, BORED, and occupying a deserted apartment complex pool on a daily basis. During the second week of June, I came to the realization that GLAMOUR and US WEEKLY just. weren't. going. to cut it. At the time I lived across the street from Target {a dangerous and fatal mistake by a newly-wedded couple} and meandered into the book section one scorching June day. I totally judged the books by the cover (still do...sorry) and bought a certain SHOPAHOLIC book and was hooooooooooookkkkeeeed!!
I read the entire series that summer. (If you haven't read them, please don't judge the books by the movie, totally different, totally better...)
After that series?Sadly, it was all downhill from there. I only read chick lit. I love it. I eat them for lunch. I think it's the fluff. I like the bright colorful covers. I like reading silly stories that don't end up making me cry (boo, you, Nicky Sparks for making my cry so many times).
I just finished The Last Song. Tear Fest.
I like laughing and getting wrapped up in the drama all. at. once. {Errrrr.....This is probably also why I can't seem to stop watching The Hills even though I'm a teacher, with a husband, a house, a 401K, a kid, and a mommy blog.....}
My top two fave chickaliterature books?
1. The one that started it all --My Dear Sophie for Miss Becky Bloomwood in Shopaholic (proof I lurve her)
2. My Sweet Emily for Something Borrowed and Something Blue
I am really not shallow. Promise! I have morals. and standards. and real thoughts that aren't about shopping, boyfriends, and OMG! moments--I just choose not to read about them. :) I look forward to reading everyone else's book choices. I need some new books to fuel my addiction.
I WILL GET THIS NAP JARGON UNDERCONTROL and when THAT HAPPENS??
BOOM. Chicka Lit Time.
