(the Quintessential Reading List that Guys Would Not Enjoy)
It's about the first two girls to work on the floor at Tiffany & Co - how could it not be good? A summer filled with excitement, romance, and New York City... absolutely one to live vicariously through.
Pick-up-where-you-left-off-when-you-get-a-chance Book... The Paris Wife by Paula McLain
Semi-historical/fiction about Ernest Hemingway's first wife, Hadley. Such a bittersweet novel. Love the excitement of Paris in the twenties, hate the heartache that you know is coming from the first page.
Read-all-month-long-every-second-of-Christmas-break Book... Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The book (and the movie, for that matter) gets better every single time I read it. There's something about relating to a character that can make a story so lovable and comforting, and I am pretty sure that every girl can relate to Elizabeth in one way or another.
Stay-up-late-and-read-with-a-flashlight Book... The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Normally, I would say that I like the traditional love stories, not the weird ones where you know there isn't a cliched happy ending and you have to think really hard the whole time. But I love this book, and again, the movie is wonderful.
Anytime-anywhere-anyplace-quick-romance Book... Every Single Book Ever by Deeanne Gist
I honestly cannot get enough of these historical romances... they all pretty much have the same plot, set in different time periods. However, I happen to love the plot and I happen to love history, so these books are right up my alley. They do not ever get old.
Okay, SO, I do realize, in looking over this list, that these books kind of have a central theme. They are all one million percent chick books (whoops, hence the title of this post). This fact doesn't make them any less great or any less worth reading though, I promise.
