Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella...okay just finished this book today. LOVED IT!! I think this is another guilty pleasure like some of the other books I read...GOSSIP GIRLS, THE LUXE, etc. I am not quite the shopaholic that our character Rebecca is...but there was a time when I did my own damage shopping too much and so I could relate. I thought this was an interesting fiction take on Save Karyn's real life problem! When I heard they were making this into a movie I KNEW I had to read it first. Okay, so this is SOOOOO Chick Lit...but fun and definitely worth the time to read. Now, will I continue and read the other books in this series, probably not...but who knows! I did borrow this book from the library and as fate would have it...my husband left the windshield wiper fluid in the back of his car...I threw my bag in the back of his car and TA DA...I ruined a library book and will be paying for it this week! This will add to my laundry list of other ways I have had to replace a library book...one went in the tub...one got lost in the car...and I found it 3 days after paying for it...and my other favorite...eating while reading, dumped an entire Pepsi on a book. So yes, even Librarians pay for books!

glad you liked this. i too am very excited for the movie. i have read ALL of the books in the series, the first one definitely being the best, but the rest being quick fun reads.
i just finished edgar sawtelle and have been a depressed mess ever since. did you read it yet? interested in doing so? it is really excellent, the writing is like a melody, but the characters will break your heart.
just started a brief history of the dead, the pick for my jan book club. will let you know if you should at it to your must read list!
