I must say, this assignment has taken a lot longer than I've been give scheduled time for. So for the final one, I thought I would go with a more popular sub-genre - Chick Lit. Right off the bat, I found a blog called Chick Lit is Not Dead. I must say this is a fun, light blog - unlike the last couple that I have looked at.
Chick-Lit is all about women's relationships. Sometimes the stories are heartwarming and somethings they are heart wrenching. One book that was blogged about on Chick Lit is Not Dead is Primetime Princess. It takes place in the world of broadcasting. It is witty, centers around women and their relationships and has some humor.
This sub-genre reminds me a little of the Beach Read genre (which had some books featured today on Early Word). But I have a certain idea of a Beach Read. The book featured on Early Word was Shining Girls. In reading the sysnopsis it is a lot heavier than the lighter Chic-Lit genre. It is full of suspense and it written from mutiple perspectives. Good Reads also talks about A Hundred Summers. That to me is the iconic Beach Read, with it's strong sense of place and the historical perspective.
