Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

This is my first book back after my 3-month reading sabbatical. And I couldn't have picked a better book. It was sooo much fun even though Becky Bloomwood and I have only one tiny thing in common. We both tend to ignore bad-news-mail. The "if I didn't see it, then it doesn't exist" motto is one of mine as well. Other than that we are complete opposites. See, I am one to deny myself the finer things in life and then kick myself later when a quality item would have come in handy. Whereas Becky Bloomwood will treat herself to all the fine things life has to offer and then kick herself later . . . when the bill arrives.

The lesson learned in this story is that a good attitude in all situations will get you far! Sophie Kinsella has invented a completely hilarious character. One that I see in myself and in all of my women friends. When we get into situations and then handle then as best we can. It's sometimes uber funny in hindsight.

I look forward to ALL of the sequels and in fact have already begun Shopaholic Ties the Knot!
