I always thought 'chick lit' meant third-person contemporary funny novels, dealing with issues of the day. I mean, it's not the ideal term; when I'm asked to describe what I do, I say I write romantic comedies, cause that's what I feel they are. But I'm quite pragmatic.

Books are educational; so you can buy as many as you want." Sophie Kinsella, shopping at the Limelight Marketplace

A man will never love you or treat you as well as a store. If a man doesn't fit, you can't exchange him seven days later for a gorgeous cashmere sweater. And a store always smells good. A store can awaken a lust for things you never even knew you needed. And when your fingers first grasp those shiny, new bags...

You can want and want and want, but if he doesn't want you back ... you might as well wish the sky were red.

When I shop, the world gets better, and the world is better, but then it's not, and I need to do it again. (Confessions of a Shopaholic-the movie)

If I behave as though this is a completely normal situation, then maybe it will be.

There's no luck in business. There's only drive, determination, and more drive.
