The Secret Attic discussion

Here it goes (I can't keep it short, so please bear with me):

I adored this book. It only released recently but it's so awesome and I just can't talk about this book without gushing. I don't know, try my review out but I'm pretty much just gushing there too. I got this one for free on amazon (it isn't free anymore but only costs 0,89€ on amazon at the moment) and never thought I'd enjoy it so much. It was such a feel-good read but it got some of my tears, too. It isn't a heavy book but when I like a book/care for the characters it's just really easy to make me cry.

I'm repeating myself but I didn't think I'd enjoy this one either. I have a friend who read a lot of Susan Elizabeth Phillips' books and I normally really trust her taste but then another friend came along and told me I had to read this. And I did. And I fell in love. This is definitely not your usual chick lit, I mean, it is set in a circus! I was wary at first, too, but the setting makes this chick lit even more awesome. Also, there was no insta-love (!) because the characters pretty much start out disliking each other and I rooted till the end for them.

/ I enjoyed both of Kinsella's books I read equally and recommend them wholeheartedly. If you want to read something light, fun and at times silly, just try it with Can You Keep a Secret? and I've Got Your Number.

This is a mystery chick lit but I would call it more a chick lit than a mystery. This was the definition of fun when I read it and again, recommending this. This one is still free on amazon at the moment. Go grab it! :)

I have to be honest, I don't remember much about this one, only that I really enjoyed it and that it was close to 5 stars back when I read it. Recommending this one anyway.

Maybe it's because this one was my first chick lit but I have very fond memories of Lucy in the Sky. It's the perfect summer read and I plan to reread it soon.

Don't let the cover fool you, this is kind of everything but a chick lit but I'm recommending it here. It feels like everything I might say about this book will be spoilery and I want to say things like what this book did to my heart but oh, I'll just stop. You have to read this one for yourselves.

Finished (for now). Sorry again, I really really really can't keep it short!

Cory, meiner Meinung nach hat Me Before You einige Chick Lit Elemente. Viel (britischen) Humor, eine Protagonistin die Mitte-20 ist (soweit ich mich erinnere) und noch nicht so richtig weiß, was genau sie mit ihrem Leben anfangen will etc. Aber es behandelt auch sehr ernste Themen. Bei dem Buch ist es schwer zu sagen, in welches Genre es gehört. Vor allem müsste man darüber diskutieren (Buchthemen ansprechen) und das würde das Buch spoilern. Ich würde dir das Buch echt empfehlen, ich habe nämlich noch sehr lange nachdem ich es zu Ende gelesen habe darüber nachgedacht. Definitiv eines meiner Lieblingsbücher. Aber es ist halt nicht die typisch leichte Kost die man so aus dem Chick Lit Genre kennt, auch wenn es einige Elemente aus dem Genre aufweist. Mein Tipp: Lies nicht zu viele Rezensionen. Ich finde extrem viele Rezensionen schon spoilerhaft, ohne dass sie als spoilerhaft markiert wurden, aber da können die meisten nichts dafür. Ich bin also echt froh, dass ich im Vorraus keine Rezensionen gelesen habe, sondern es noch eines der Bücher ist, die ich gelesen habe bevor ich GoodReads wirklich aktiv genutzt habe und somit auch wirklich kaum was über Inhalt etc. wusste.

Haha, ich stalke - wenn du es dann liest - deine Status Updates. ;)
