I recently posted asking for ideas of new books and authors to try. My specifications were:

I like chick lit. Preferably in first person narrative. Takes place in present day.

Authors/stuff I like
*Sophie Kinsella
*Lauren Weisberger
*Jennifer Weiner
*Light romance, but not the center of the story
*Strong women
*Humor
*Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

Stuff I don't like
*Murder mysteries, capers, etc
*Jane Green
*"I can't live without a man!"

I got a TON of suggested authors! I thought I'd share the list that I compiled (which will keep me busy for quite a while!)
