@piggyfan I wouldn't worry - I generally only ever read chit lit as well. I used to love reading as a kid but always swore I wouldn't read books for adults because I thought they were boring! Then at 18 my mum bought the first 'Shopaholic' book for our holiday, despite hating shopping I ended up reading it and have been hooked to chit lit ever since! We even have a great picture of me on the beach, the picture is all blurred because I was laughing and then telling mum which bit I was laughing at and so we were both laughing too much to take a straight picture (before the days of digital photos!)
I don't get much chance to read for leisure these days but generally stick to the typical chick lit books. I also like the slightly more serious stories that cover gritty stories and really make you feel and think. Catherine Ryan Hyde is probably my favourite author - I read 2 of her books without realising that she had written 'Pay it Forward' or that one of the books I read was actually quite well known - there's something about her writing that makes you feel like you're the only one who's ever read the story, like there's something really special about it that no-one else knows about.
Although I don't get any time to read I did steal a few hours this week to finally find out what all the 'Fifty Shades' fuss is all about! Annoyingly it's a bit like when I watched Twilight, didn't really enjoy it but need to see it through to the end to find out how it all ends!
