Welcome to the Chicklit Club's reading challenges, which you can undertake as an individual, a group of friends or as a book club. Each month we'll provide a suggested reading program, ranging from the testing Club Challenges where you'll need to read several books to the single-title challenge under the New Releases, Classic Reads and Australian Made sections. And to make it easier for people who need to order books ahead, we always have the next month's reading list available as well. It's the perfect way to gain a wider experience of the chick lit genre, mixing up new releases with classic reads.
