Iv'e decided to change the Icon for Chick Lit as I found this cute Logo on a Library website and I thought this is more like it , than a picture with a bunch of Chick Lit Books on it.

                   Review : Nancy's Theory of Style - Grace Coopersmith - May 2010

When I first saw the cover of this book , I decided then and there that it would be one I'd add to my list as the cover was very attractive, though one would probably think -how can a roll of Toilet paper on the front cover of a book be that attractive, but somehow Grace Coopersmith's Cover artist was able to pull it off. The second thing that grabbed me is the whole nine-yards of Event planning, socialite parties etc as some of my favourite films include The Wedding Planner , How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - Event Planning and PR - something I hope to venture into down the track as it seems glamorous but I know that it takes a long time to plan and you have to be organized. As nothing is actually as glamorous as on the movies or in books.
Nancy's Theory of Style takes us into the life of Nancy Carrington-Chambers, a newlywed who believes that having an excellent sense of style and strict attention to details is what makes a successful life. When her husband starts to show signs of what Nancy can only describe as Tackiness , she decides to move out into her apartment building and concentrate on her new and upcoming business. Thinking that her husband is supporting her , he hires her a gay English assistant and soon Nancy finds herself way over her head when her cousin dumps her 4yr old daughter Eugenia on her. As the novel goes on and the event of the year draws nearer and nearer, Nancy soon realises that things aren't what they seem and that the people she thought she knew and trusted aren't exactly who they say they are. Will Nancy be able to get her business off the ground, sort out her marriage and distinguish the differences between her fake and real friends?
Nancy's Theory of Style shows us that in the line of fashion, style and even happiness and love, you have to take risks as it's not all about playing safe.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Penny Reid

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
