I like Meg Cabot because she writes books for adults and young adults, they can be funny but also be not your cookie cutter chick lit book (read Airhead).
Jen Lancaster writes exactly how I talk. She uses footnotes and I often talk like that where I talk all over the place because saying one thing reminds me of something else. I also LOVE memoir like books, and was excited to finally read one from a POV of a woman.

I hear you on the talking like Jen Lancaster writes. I do the same thing. I always says it Tara's Random Thoughts. LOL!

haha..ditto here...
I feel bad for people sometimes..swear I can actually see their eyes falling backwards in their heads as I am droning on and on about some side tangent from the main conversation..and then getting back to t he main point...did I lose you yet even??
It's bad...real bad..and writing too...I think I will need to learn the art of being concise

My mom loves Debbie Macomber, but I've never read any of her books.
Lately my favorite author has been Emily Giffin. I love the little details she has in her books.
I find Sarah Dessen inspiring. I've read her blog and she seems really down to earth and like someone you could be friends with. I like how her lead female characters always have unique names. Also, I read her first book and her most recent book, and it was really interesting to see how much she has grown as a writer.
I also love Jen Lancaster, but I'm not naturally funny so I'd rather read her stuff than attempt to write anything!
I too love Emily Giffin....mostly because she is real and unexpected...who else can write a great novel about a woman who steals her best friend's fiance and we still love her as a main character...well maybe opinions differ on the Darcy vs. Rachel thing but you know what I mean...
I only read one book by Beth Harbison (Shoe Addicts Anonymous) but I also really liked her writing...I thought she was creative, unique and catching....I couldn't put it down...
That's my hope for my own writing: to be an innovative page turner

I haven't read anything by Kristin Harmel yet, but the title, How to Sleep With a Movie Star, alone has attracted me to her big time! I've seen on mediabistro.com (a writer's resource website) that she teaches classes online and in person to write Chick Lit

Beth Kendrick, Kristin Harmel, Beth Harbison and Louise Rennison!


LOL! Same here Alicia, same here. She's just so fabbity fab!


I know, I have the last one left to read. I've been posting them on PBS and BM when I'm done with them and now I'm wishing I hadn't because I want to save them for my daughter.
