What Do I Want to Read?

I'm someone that loves a good chick lit. One of those that's a 'guilty pleasure' to most. I love Jen Lancaster, Sophie Kinsella, those types of authors.
I'm on www.goodreads.com and my "to-read" list is overwhelmingly full of those types of books. There are some auto-biography or non-fiction sprinkled in there, as well, though, so perhaps I shouldn't feel so 'guilty.' Though, to be honest, I don't feel guilty about reading these little lovely books. Nor do I feel guilty about listening to them in my car as a cruise through the state. They make my drives seem much shorter. My job requires me to do a lot of traveling for work, and, while I love music as much (probably more) than the next person, I really love listening to someone 'read' to me. I think it's because it makes me feel young again. When I was little, my parents read to me all the time and I think it brings me back to when my dad used to read to me and tell me stories or when he used to make up stories for me - usually about my favorite doll, Ballet Baby.
