A few months ago we mentioned the inaugural Chick Lit Reviews’ Awards 2009. (Inspired name, huh?) Here are all of the categories we’ll be honouring. Look out for the full list of nominee’s sometime in late November/early December. In the mean time we’ll be presenting some of those that may make the shortlist. Since Chloe and I have read different books this year, I was wondering if maybe we should do separate nominee’s and winners. What do you guys think?
