10 in ‘10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge – Kay’s reading list!

Okay, now I get to share my own reading list for the 10 in ‘10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge. Good times!

10 in 10 Chick Lit Challenge

I absolutely LOVE teen chick lit, so I’ll be adding tons of additional books to my list. But here’s my starting line-up for the challenge to give me my first ten. Some of these are books on my TBR shelves and some are books I have on pre-order.

But again, that’s just for starters. Some of the teen chick lit books I was really looking forward to in 2010 (Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins and A Most Improper Magick by Stephanie Burgis) I’ve already read, so they won’t count. But I’ll include them in spirit. :-)

Be sure to add your blog post to Mr. Linky and grab the logo above to show you’re playing!

    This is a great list! So many of these are on my mental “to read” list.

    Firstly, I also love YA chick lit. The new and unusual situations seem endless and I’m in awe of the unique ‘voice’ most of the authors present.
    Secondly, I find YA cover art beyond clever and endlessly fascinating. It’s so very different from any other genre.

    Thanks, Andrea! I’m ridiculously excited for the challenge because it gives me an excuse to read my favorite kinds of books even when I’m on deadline. :-)

    Isn’t chick lit a blast, Maureen? It’s hands down my favorite genre of YA to read. Love, love, LOVE it!

    Fun, no? I knew this would be right up your alley, Jennifer. :-) Rock on, chick lit, rock on!

I’m the author of YA fiction that I wish was based on my real life. My upcoming
THE CINDERELLA SOCIETY is about a secret society of good populars dedicated to defeating the mean girls of the world. Do you have what it takes to be a Cindy?
