THURSDAY THREE: Chicklit Goes LA

Today's daily feature is the 'Thursday Three' - each Thursday we will pick a theme and list three books that all feature that theme. Today's theme is chicklit set in Los Angeles.

First up is Marian Keyes' "Angels". Maggie, part of a large Irish family, shocks everyone by leaving her husband and getting on a plane to Los Angeles. She takes refuge with her best friend Emily and then begins to realise the enormity of what she has done.

Carry on over the cut to see which other two books have made the 'Thursday Three'

Second choice is "Running Away From Richard" by Chris Manby. Lizzie has a broken heart, she's just been dumped by the Richard mentioned in the title. So, in a theme that seems to be developing here, she jumps on a plane and flies to LA in the hope of starting a new life.

The third and final choice is Alison Bond's "How to be Famous". This book follows the triumphs and despairs of a group of characters who all see LA's most famous suburb as the place that will save them. A mixture of wannabe stars and agents all hit Hollywood in the hope that it will help them fulfil their drams.
