has anyone ever read books by this author? i went and bought 4 of her books today and i've never even heard of her ! what was i thinking, right?!
but i just couldn't resist, the covers and titles were so cute and they seemed really interesting. i know, i know.. "never judge a book by its cover"

i hope they are good! i think she is part of the chick lit genre, also another territory that i am unfamiliar with. i never even got around to reading shopaholic (is that considered chick lit too?)

ETA: make that now 5 books

I really enjoy her books, Doesn't she have The last Chance Saloon and Lucy Sullivan Got Married. Jane Green is really good to.

I bought her Under the Covers Book, but, I am not too big a fan of short stories.

i've got
Last Chance Saloon
Lucy Sullivan Got Married
Watermelon
Rachel's Holiday
and Sushi for Beginners

i should really get started on reading them

I love Marian Keyes! You should read The Other Side of The Story

I LOVE Marian Keyes also, all her books are good, easy reading perfect for holidays or just chilling out!

I read Watermelon at 15 and loved it, it was very emotional though! Then a few years later I read a few more, now I've read them all!

Agreed though that Under the duvet, and Further under the duvet are not so good, but I think its because you don't have a chance to get in to the story before its over!!

They are very funny and easy to read. I have all of them but I absolutely adore Last Chance Saloon. It's spot on and it makes me laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time.

Last Chance Saloon is brilliant! I've just re-read it now, and am currenctly re-reading Sushi For Beginners! I have about 10 new books, but some how I love to read these!

I've never been able to really get into Marian Keyes' works.

However, I do agree with whomever posted about Jane Green; I've liked all her works so far.

Shopaholic is most definitely chick lit, IMO. I've read every book in that series except "Shopaholic and Baby" and I do love reading chick lit as it's a nice break from the heavy reading I do for work and school.

Lately however, I've needed to take a break from the usual chick lit formula and have been reading nonfiction books on hobby subjects in my (very limited) spare time.

I've only read one of the Shopaholics and Loved it! Not sure why I havent got any more, I guess they're so good noone ever wants to get rid of them... as I mostly buy 2nd hand as I read through them so quickly its expensive to always buy new!

I love Marian Keyes! Sometimes I need to read something that I know will end happily and with closure. You follow her characters as they discover themselves and take control of their lives (after a lot of falling down).

She is definitely chick lit, but often her stories turn out to carry quite a bit of depth, with topics like drug abuse, alcoholism, dealing with death, abusive relationships, etc.

I cried a lot for Anybody Out There, but Rachel's Holiday remains my fav.

I totally agree with this, I don't read a lot of Chick Lit but sometimes I want something a little cheesy, happy and predictable. I read Last Chance Saloon a few years back.
