Our Reading Agony this week “I’ve finished all the Danielle Steel novels and I don’t know who else to read” – we recommend some other authors who write a bit like the hugely popular Steel.
We discuss Chick Lit , why does it have such an offensive title and what types of books does this genre encompass? Some of the titles and authors mentioned:
• Missing Wife by Sheila O’Flanaghan
• Marian Keyes – Rachel’s Holiday and Mystery of Mercy Close
• Jojo Moyes – Me Before You
• Hester Brown
• Jane Austen
• Katie Fforde
• Cathy Kelly
• Patricia Scanlan – Orange Blossom Days
Contact us with your favourite chick lit book and why we should read it!
Staff quote “No Smiling” (obviously we are having far too much fun planning these podcasts)
Did you know? On these podcasts we are discussing and recommending lots of books and DVDs so we thought it might be useful to remind everyone how to request an item from Falkirk libraries.
