Chicks on CD
If you want to wean your college-aged daughter off of her iPod, this might be the summer to do it.
Macmillan Audio has issued, and re-issued, a "colorful" collection of chick books on CD in packaging bright enough to catch a young girl's eye.
"Girls Gone Audio" is a campaign to introduce new readers to some of Macmillan's most successful authors. Some audiobooks are abridged; others are not. Some have been re-issued at the bargain price of $14.95; others are full price at $29.95.
"These titles are perfect for the 20-something reader, but older women will like them as well," said Liz Noland of Macmillan Audio.
The titles include: Fearless at Fourteen by Janet Evanovich; Married Lovers and Lovers & Players by Jackie Collins; Austenland, by Shannon Hale, Love the One You're With by Emily Griffin, Secrets of a Shoe Addict by Beth Harbison, as well as Cocktails for Three and Sleeping Arrangements by Madeleine Wickham (also known as Sophie Kinsella.)
Let's hear it for the girls! And from the girls as well. Any chick book recommendations out there?
Comments
Adriana Trigiani's books. Start out with her trilogy plus one (it was going to be just a trilogy but she added another book later) of:
Big Stone Gap, Big Cherry Holler, Milk Glass Moon, Home to Big Stone Gap.
Wonderful characterizations but NOT sappy romance novels, which I detest.
She is of Italian background and lived in a small Appalachian town in southwest Virginia. Now she is very cosmopolitan and lives in the Big Apple.
