International Chick Lit Month??

I have been hearing rumours in the book world that May is 'International Chick Lit' month. Now, I'm not sure who is in charge of deciding these things but I figure if enough people jump on board, who's going to argue? At the risk of totally blowing my all-knowing image here, I'm also not sure which books qualify for the moniker. To remedy this, I went to the source of all truth. That's right, I wikkied it. This is what I learned:

Chick Lit is ....

• fiction that, often humourously, explores issues of modern womanhood (whatever they are)
• features young adult women who are primarily career driven
• follows protagonists that are addicted to shopping and how they look
• may or may not include a romantic plot line
• written by women for women
• 'post-feminist' (any ideas on what that might be??)

After that rather futile effort, I still have only an inkling of what may, or may not, be officially tagged chick lit. But I'm in, anyway. This month will be devoted to books that I consider 'chick lit'. If you don't consider the books I read this month to fit into that category, so be it. Just don't give me any sass - as a 'post-feminist' woman (still don't know what it means but it sounds good) I'll do it my way.
