Whenever I check out a new batch of books from the library, I slip in one embarrassing chicklit because, well, I think every girl needs a little cheesy romance in her life... or girl power!!! (I cannot believe I just said that.) The covers tend to be some kind of pink color or have some seductive looking picture on it. I sigh when I see it on the shelf, but really, deep down inside, I'm going, "OMG! What's Amber going to dooo??"

This is when I completely overcompensate by getting really serious books to balance out that one, single chicklit. I'm pretty sure the librarian knows my train of thought by now. I catch that small smile when she scans that last pretty pink book. I see it, lady. Though, her smile was much bigger this week because I got quite a few chicklits... and a book from the young adult section because I'm... 12. Hey, I spent the last few weeks reading depressing stories by dead Russian authors. And I... I just want to read... happy things... (falters)

But OMG, will Vicky ever find someone to be with?? The suspense is killing me!

I do the very same thing! I only ever sign out one chick lit when I do, along with a horde of books by dead German nihilists and American post-post-modernists that all have something to say in that symbolic squirrel. And um... Latin American magical realists. But deep down, all I want to know is when Raymond will finally realize that he actually loves her and doesn't hate her as much as he makes himself think he does!

Haha, I never feel that sense of shame. The majority of my reading material is chicklit and historical romance!
