Any good chick lit/contemporary romance blogs?

I mean for book reviews, not writing blogs. Currently I read Trashionista and Smart Bitches.

You might check Joshilyn Jackson's blog, Faster Than Kudzu. Not reviews, per se, and not ChickLit per se (more literary, but ChickLitty voice), but she does interviews with other authors on her blog, and it's a lot of fun.

Go to JoshilynJackson.com, and then find Faster Than Kudzu in the "blog" pulldown, and enjoy.

having a hard time finding more chicklit type stuff, which is what i like more. :(

And you probably won't find many---at least under the "chick-lit" label. It's become a bad, bad term in the industry. A death knell for a manuscript.

Look for "light contemporary" or "romantic comedy" or "humorous women's fiction" for the same kind of book. :)

It's not a blog, but have you checked out http://chicklitreview.org/default.aspx

Another site I've visited- I just checked and it's down due to exceeding bandwidth right now. I'm sure it will be back up and I can't remember if they have a blog or not.

Cathy is right---of course.

IMHO some not so good chick lit novels ruined it for the good chick lit novels---so as everyone says you need to change the "label". They are out there.
Every genre has its turn to be hunted down and shot. Whooo. That was deep. Ha ha

At this point all I can think of is the Chicklit yahoogroup, one you don't have to be a member of RWA, they can be extremely informative and helpful...
darn I can't find them now, but have found the one where you have to be an RWA member. Perhaps they could help you...

Good luck.
