Chick-Lit

I'm drowning in Chick-Lit and it's a good thing.

I had been on a kick of depressing books but really, who can handle too much of that?  Especially since the economy is in the toilet and we are at war.  I don't know about you but I need something happy to read.

I recently finished Rockabye: From Wild to Child about a rock-n-roll party girl who gets knocked up and ends up marrying the guy.  It is a funny memoir that brought back a lot of pregnancy memories and pregnancy paranoia for me.

The writer is actually a blogger.  So the book kind of reads like a giant blog.  Nevertheless, it is worth the read I think.  Especially if you've had kids.

Then I jumped to Such a Pretty Fat.  The subtitle is much better though: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big or Why Pie is Not the Answer.  So you can see where this book is going.  Funny and yet true.  I've laughed out loud several times. 

And of course I can't forget to mention my daughters' friend, and mine by default, Fancy Nancy.  We love her.  She is funny and she uses big words.  What's not to love?

I guess my life lesson is take a little time and enjoy the lighter-side of reading.
