Chick-slit

There are many books I'm eager to read, which is fitting given that I'm back in University. My sodding eyes want to feast themselves on more than chick-slit... you know, those chicky books that make you want to slash your wrists with a belt buckle from TopShop. They're cheap and pretend to be the anomaly to the genre. No, doesn't go into that cheesy area, the author says of her work. Hoax. There are always real exceptions, and they're usually the books that don't belong in the category from the start. They were just lobbed there because they were written by a chick. I'm on the watch for fulfilling reads.
