A self confident reader is someone who is the master of their own tastes. A self confident reader does not need to follow the trend and only read what thousands have recommended. A self-confident reader decides what they like and they move the trends.

Lipstick Traces by Kathlea Azzurra Rowland is exactly my type of emerging literature.  The characters have some smears around the edges like lipstick traces and the story is rough in parts, like a newly mined gem.  This novel awaits self-confident readers ready to absorb, appreciate and perhaps smear lipstick traces as they lick fingers to turn the pages.  In some respects Lipstick Traces seems as ‘chick lit’ which fits my most recent trend, but the lifelike characters and darkish theme puts it into the emerging literature category too.  (How does emerging chick lit sound?)

Unlike most novels offered by big publishers, Lipstick Traces has not been ‘laundered’ to remove any possibility of causing any reader offense, which conversely, only flushes away the book’s inner truth.  A truly self-confident reader though, finds the sometimes tart flavorings keep a read from being bland.

A few furthers note to ‘self-confident readers’.  I want you to bookmark this clickmylit.net site and offer your opinions.  Here is a literary mathematical equation: self-confident readers+self-published authors=a bright future for emerging literature+a healthy literary marketplace.

Creativity Over Writer's Block

Beat Back Writer

Oprah started out as a self confident reader but it seems that from the dizzying height of her high ladder rung, she’s lost touch.  Was Oprah’s selection of ‘A Million Little Pieces’ really her own self confidence?  Millions of people bought it, read it, and not wanting to go against Oprah’s opinion, they said they really liked it.  Later though, when allegations emerged of the facts not being completely true, some readers I spoke to changed their minds. ‘I didn’t actually like the book’.  But because a supposedly self-confident reader, Oprah, had recommended it, the hype surrounded it and millions of people read a book that really wasn’t all that worth while.

I want real self-confident readers here stating their own self confident views.  I would like clickmylit.net to be what Oprah’s book club perhaps should’ve been.

The Guy I’m Not Dating Is available at Amazon. Unfortunately not in a kindle yet.

The guy that I’m personally not dating anymore should read this chick lit book and maybe he would learn not to be so insufferable.  Not much chance of his reading a chick lit novel though.  Auto repair manuals are his idea of a good read.  How did a lit chick like me end up with a non lit guy, I’ll never know but even though he’s a clod,  I want the guy I’m not dating back.  Because even chick lit isn’t a complete substitute to a currently ex-bf becoming a bf again.

Fabulous Nobodies

Is This Job 4 You?

Famous Nobodies is the kind of chick lit book that is perfect for forgetting about the guy who either is your Ex-boyfriend or is soon to become your ex-boyfriend.  Or this chick lit book is great to just read while tanning on the balcony while eating chicklits.  (lol I couldn’t resist that.)  I’ve heard this summer called the ‘summer of death’ because of all the famous celebrities passing away over a short period.  Non famous nobodies die all the time but nobody takes notice.  Anyways, try out the first selection in my chick lit category and I hope you’ll enjoy Famous Nobodies.

And if you’re having boyfriend, ex-boyfriend or soon-to-be exboyfriend difficulties you can click the book to the right.  Exboyfriend books are probably the REAL ultimate in chick lit.
