10 in ’10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge – What I read in Jan!
Yay! It’s our very first 10 in ’10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge check-in day! The lovely Jessica has posted the first official check-in over on her Chick Lit Teens blog, and I’m super excited to see what everyone has been reading and what they thought of it. Remember to link your blog check-in post via Mr. Linky! After seeing everyone’s fabulous lists for the challenge, my own challenge list grew quite a bit. So instead of reading 10 teen chick lit books, I think my list is nearing 30 now! To keep track of them, I’ve added a GoodReads widget in my sidebar listing them all. In order to stay on track, I need to read 2-3 teen chick lit books from my list each month. Since I adore teen chick lit (which is why I write it, I suppose), this should be easy peasy. For the month of January, I read 2 awesome books from my list.
Mac and cheese! This book is hilarious! Suz is one of those rare writers who can mix great characterization with hilarious dialogue. And her use of food as exclamations is so up my alley.
I know, I know… I’m about a million years behind on my reading and just now pulled this from my TBR shelves. I’ve been meaning to read it forever and boy, was it worth the wait! I don’t read a ton of paranormals because I’m not a huge fan of vamps and weres, but I love cool new takes on mythology. Aprilynne’s brilliant fae world is AWESOME. I’m firmly Team Tamani (and secretly hope David ends up with a certain someone in future books), but no matter which direction books 2-4 go, I am going to eat them up. So that’s my first 10 in ’10 Teen Chick Lit Challenge check-in. What are you reading for the challenge? (And if you haven’t signed up for the challenge, there’s still time! Get all the details here.) Happy reading!

The Naughty List
Since this is Suz’s debut book, it also counts for my Debut Author Challenge via The Story Siren. Double the fun, I say!
Wings
I loved Wings! And I’m Team Tamani too. The Naughty List looks really brilliant too. Hopfully you’ll get to read equally brilliant books in February.
So far, I’ve only read Sticky Fingers by Nikki Burnham. Not off to a good start, at all! I’m doing so many challenges, it’s hard to keep up sometimes. I’m to the point where I just kind of grab a book off my shelf or from my Kindle and just read, :] I never could just say “I’ll read this next.” But I will catch up!
I adored The Naughty List! I only read a few Chick Lit books this – but my list is pushing 30 for the year!
