Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 ALL TIME Favourite Chick Lit Books

'Top Ten Tuesday' is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. I love making lists, so this feature fits me perfectly! If you also take part in this feature or have any additions to my lists, please get in touch; I'd love to hear from you!
 
 
Top 10 ALL TIME Favourite Chick Lit Books

Oh my, how difficult is this week's Top Ten list?! I always find it incredibly difficult when people ask me what some of my all time favourite books are. Of course there are a few favourites in there that will always be there, such as 'Harry Potter' and 'Pride and Prejudice', but I still find it a really tricky question to just pick a few books. However, I tried my best and below you'll find a few of my personal all time favourite chick lit novels.

Be sure to share your own TTT list by leaving a comment below!



1. 'Wish Upon a Star' - Olivia Goldsmith


One of my very first chick lit reads and also one of the reasons why I fell in love with the genre, so I guess this novel definitely deserves a spot on this list.



2. 'Something Borrowed' - Emily Giffin


I actually fell in love with the film version first and then read the book and fell even more in love with that. A true chick lit classic!



3. 'From Notting Hill with Love... Actually' - Ali McNamara


If I would give a Chick Lit 101 class (how cool would that be?!) Ali McNamara's 'From Notting Hill with Love... Actually' would definitely be on the reading list.



4. 'Wickham Hall' - Cathy Bramley


Cathy Bramley undoubtedly deserves a spot on this list, but I wasn't sure about which novel to pick. I read 'Wickham Hall' last and loved every page of it, so decided to go with that one.



5. 'The Notebook' & 'A Walk to Remember' - Nicholas Sparks


I wouldn't really describe Nicholas Sparks' works as chick lit, but at the same time I couldn't leave his novels off this list. I love love love his writing and several of his books belong to my all time favourite reads.



6. 'I Heart New York' - Lindsey Kelk


One of the best chick lit book series ever and Lindsey Kelk is such a funny and simply fantastic author. Still waiting for this series to be turned into a TV show, that's how good it is.



7. 'Queen of Babble' - Meg Cabot


Love Meg Cabot, love this series.



8. 'Where Rainbows End' - Cecelia Ahern


Another one of my all time favourite authors and such a gorgeous story this is <3



9. 'Eligible' - Curtis Sittenfeld


A recent modern-day retelling of Jane Austen 'Pride and Prejudice' and a thoroughly entertaining and simply amazing one.



10. 'Blogger Girl' - Meredith Schorr
A great example of good chick lit and I'm really curious to read more of Meredith Schorr's work in the future.

  2. I LOVE Something Borrowed (Something Blue not AS much). Also, YES to A Walk to Remember and The Notebook. Nicholas Sparks may be considered a guilty pleasure, but I don't care... those 2 books are amazing!

  4. I'm quite interested in Eligible because I love Pride and Prejudice! Do you like Sophie Kinsella's books? She is my favourite chick-lit writer.
