Queen of Babble and another challenge down

I'm really enjoying Meg abot's Queen of Babble series - this was the second book, Queen of Babble in the Big City and I found it to be a great light read when my brain didn't feel like concentrating too much... which seems to be more and more often these days! The main character, Lizzie, reminds me of Becky from Kinsella's Shopaholic series and I like reading about both of them. very likeable, if you like these sorts of books!

Challenges: A-Z Challenge, Chick Lit 2

_______________________________

And this concludes the Chick Lit Challenge for me. The challenge was hosted by Twiga at Books and Lifeand actually lasts till the end of the year so I'm finished early! :-) Here's what I read:

Bed Rest by Sarah Bilston
The Family Way by Tony Parsons
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
Getting Rid of Matthew by Jane Fallon
The Rise and Fall of a Yummu Mummy by Polly Williams
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult
Shopaholic and Sister by Sophie Kinsella
Shopaholic and Baby by Sophie Kinsella
Undead and Unemployed by MaryJanice Davidson
and Queen of Babble in the Big City by Meg Cabot

I enjoyed all of these for what they are, light and enjoyable reads. Hope there's another round of this next year!!

Queen of Babble

My original Q title for the A-Z Challenge was Quo Vadis by Henryk Sienkiewicz - a heavy Polish classic. I happily changed it for Meg Cabot's Queen of Babble - a light chicklit novel about Lizzie, a girl who talks too much, thinks too much and is just that little bit too impulsive for her own good. Hopefully I'll find the courage for Quo Vadis next year...

I was worried that I wouldn't learn to like Lizzie. At the beginning, I found her superficial and silly. But I soon learned that there was more to her than that and I started to really like her. In fact, I see a bit of myself in her - especially in her desperation to believe in love and men. That got her heart, but to be fair it also brought her to a man that was right for her, which proves to me my own theory and it's not always bad to be trusting. ;-)

I think many of people would enjoy spending a few hours with Lizzie. I myself am already looking forward to what she gets up to in the next book.
