Since November 2009New Additions to the Site
July 22nd, 2010 by LeahAs always, Chloe and I are looking at ways to make the site bigger and better, and we’ve had lots of fantastic new features appear since the site started; Chick Flick Tuesday’s, Chick Lit Classics, Industry Interviews and now we have some more features we would like to announce.
Sophie Kinsella Week: Official Dates
First off I would like to let everyone know that Sophie Kinsella week will officially be running from Sunday 29th August right through until the 4th of September. We will be reviewing every single Shopaholic book to date (including the new one Mini Shopaholic), we will be interviewing Sophie as well AND we will have a competition for one lucky reader to win the entire set of Shopaholic books. To win it though, you’ll have to answer some Sophie/Shopaholic related questions so get brushing up!
Chick Lit Reviews Book Club
Starting soon, we will be having our very own Chick Lit centered book club.
Cover Stories
When Chloe and I post up a book cover, we always give you guys an opinion on what we think of it. That got me thinking a while back, and I started to wonder what authors think of their covers so starting fairly soon, we will be presenting ‘Cover Stories’, where authors tell us how their covers came around and how they’ve evolved (which will be particularly fun with authors like Jill Mansell, whose earlier works have fairly basic covers).
Week In Review
The one thing Chloe and I are always worrying about is how few review spots we have compared to how many reviews we’ve got ready to go. So we’ve decided to bring in a weekly post featuring mini reviews about the books we read the previous week. Each review will be between 100-150 words with the full review to follow at a later date. We would also like you lot to be a part of it, so each week we want you to leave a comment and tell us what you’ve been reading!

I love the idea of mini reviews. And the book club sounds fab, can’t wait to join in!
I love knowing how covers are decided etc. Great new features here
I love all the ideas, good luck!
The book club sounds fabby, definitely joining in! All the ideas are brilliant!
I’ll be keeping an eye out for the book club - sounds fab. I also love reading about book covers and what inspires them.
Love the fact that you are constantly evolving this site which is one of my faves for reading about new books out.
I’m really looking forward to the book club.
I can’t wait to read your first “Cover Story”. In fact, just this week, I posted on my blog http://whereyouwishuponastar.blogspot.com/ a discussion about how covers (and titles) appeal to readers, enticing them to buy books. How do my favorite chick lit authors decide on a book cover? What goes into the inspiration behind it or the thought process? I’m so glad I”ll get to find out soon:) Love your site always, Leah and Chloe! Thank you.
Lots of things to look foward to, woo hoo! I will definitely be back for more!
Looking forward to these additions - they all sound great!
