My name's Elle and I'm extremely happy to be working here at Trashionista. I'm a 20-something supergeek from Wales who cant wait to bring you news and reviews from the chick-lit world. Seeing as you don't know me yet, here's a little interview. (Self-interrogation; it's all the rage, apparently!)
When did you start reading chick-lit?
I first got into chick-lit in 2004, when I picked up The Second Assistant by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare. It looked witty and interesting, so I bought it. After that? I was hooked.
What's your favourite chick-lit book?
Hmm, difficult question! I don't have a specific favourite, although there are a few that I could read again and again. One being Maria Beaumont's Marsha Mellow and Me (it's downright hilarious!) I'm also into paranormal chick-lit and rather liked Blood is the New Black by Valerie Stivers. And, of course, let's not forget the fabulous Undead series...
What are your favourite non-chicklit books?
I read a bit of everything, and I'd have to say that my favourite books out of the chicklit genre would be Alexander Cordell's Rape of the Fair Country, and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.
Any guilty pleasures?
Ooo! Well now that you ask-
We mean book-wise, of course.
Oh. Right. Weelll...I do frequent the teen section of Waterstones. For Meg Cabot especially. Aw c'mon, who doesn't?
Do you want world peace?
Why yes. Yes I do.
