I've started a chicklit bookbox for the U.S. Here's what's in it (don't peek if you want to be surprised): http://www.bookcrossing.com/hunt/267/4970/77117/372568 (I'm asking all participants to release their books into this release zone so that we can all see what's in the box.)
The list so far (I may rearrange geographically): Sidney1220 in McLean, Virginia hoopsielv in Adrian, Minnesota (wants to be in the middle of the list) PS. Chicklit (unlike chick flick) does not mean anything by, for, or about women. It's a very specific type of contemporary fiction, including anything published by Red Dress Ink or Downtown Press. Here's a good definition of chicklit published in the March/April 2004 issue of "Utne" magazine: "Those ubiquitous novels with pastel-colored dust jackets bearing whimsically retro images of cocktail glasses, trendy purses, and spiky heels with titles like 'Running in Heels: A Novel,' 'Shopaholic Ties the Knot,' and 'Thirty Nothing.' Originating in the mid-1990s with the publication of well-received books like Helen Fielding's 'Bridget Jones's Diary' and Melissa Bank's 'The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing,' chick lit relays breezy tales of spunky professional urban women worrying about their bosses, their weight, their boyfriends, and their Jimmy Choo shoes."
