When we talked about shelties the other ay, I said something about English fluff novels, not managing to find the common used term. Here are a few I read recently, normally I read thrillers etc, need the excitement to be able to get through
But when I sew, I don't have the attention span enough to read anything else but fluff. And I prefer that term, chick lit sounds a bit vulgar to me Swedish ear ROFLMAO.

Hi, I love these type of books too, You should try Susie Boyt 'The small hours', it made me laugh a lot.

@wolfie - @TML13 likes these too - there was a thread a while back in the summer talking about these, with suggestions ...

Here's the thread ...

Any fluff novel would have to be better than 'Fifty Shades of Grey' They are doing it on every page, Overkill and boring.

English authors are my all time favourite - from the classics to what you class as 'fluff' novels - I myself prefer to call them English Chick Lit - I am not offended by this terminology.

Currently my favourite modern authors include Carole Matthews, Jane Green, Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde, Marian Keyes, Jenny Coglan, Cecilia Ahern to mention a few.

I do read most novelös in English (detest Swedish translations) and actually like quite a few of the fluffy, is at work so I don't remember the authors name - the one where the girl inherited a doggie pension is so sweet
In Swedish chick lit (at leas for me) sound a bit smutty

Ooh @Wolfie please can you explain why chick lit sounds smutty? My Swedish is too limited...I can only think it sounds a bit like kyckling, but I don't know why that would be smutty...what am I missing? It's got me intrigued!

Oh blushing here, but my dirty imagination turns chick lit into something like clit. a hum, clitoris,

Sweet Shop of Dreams was fab!!! I finished it in 2 days. My addiction is Sophie Kinsella. I absolutely adore her!!!
