The Shopaholic goes to New York

Advantages: Fun book, light read
Disadvantages: Doesn't take long to read

...a big fan of the Shopaholic Series and Sophie Kinsella books in general. The shopaholic series comes under the chick lit category as it is not deep and meaningful but rather a book to keep you entertained. The books are about a girl called Becky who as you can guess from the title is a shopaholic. Shopaholic abroad is the second in the series following from The Secret Dreamworld Of A Shopaholic. The first book had seen Becky, a financial advisor, ...
...boyfriend later on. Shopaholic Abroad is the story of how Becky ends up going to the US. Her relationship with Luke is going great, she has a fab job as a financial advisor on TV and everything seems to be going well for Becky. Luke is offered an opportunity he can't resist to go and work in the New York. He decides to go and visit to test the waters and takes Becky with him in the hope that she can share his new life over there. Becky is obviously ...

Katie Price amazing new book

Advantages: Her best book yet.
Disadvantages: She didnt write it herself

...about a young women called sapphire who had found her husband at the time in bed with another women, then it tells us her journey after that. Its quite fun aswell as sapphire owns her own ligerine store and plans peoples hen do's. which is quite ironic as she found her husband in with another women. All and all this book is excellent value for money and i highly recommend it to anyone out there who loves fun, exciting reads. ...

The sun will rise again by the time you're done!

Advantages: Compulsively readable, lots of drama
Disadvantages: 2D characters, strange mix of genres

...chapter" before bed. Sundowners is available for £6.99 from Amazon.co.uk at the time of writing. I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys chick lit alongside a good action movie, or for any female (not being sexist, think that's the only appeal!) who likes something with a lot of drama to sink her teeth into. I surprised myself by enjoying this, and will be more open-minded to chick lit in future. All thanks to Ciao! ...

* Becky Ties The Knot! *

Advantages: Funny , Plot , Characters
Disadvantages: None!

...really got into Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic Book series lately! The most recent one I've read is 'Shopaholic Ties The Knot'. For those of you who don't know the Shopaholic Series is based on a character named Becky Bloomwood , who is really obsessed with shopping! Actually , she's more than obsessed...she's mad! Shopaholic Ties The Knot is the third book in the series and was released in July 2002 (seven years ago!! and it's only a few months ago ...
...This book is three hundred and twenty pages long. This book is available to buy from Amazon for a price of £4.99 , which I think is a fairy reasonable price to pay for a paperback book. In this book , Becky works as a personal shopper , which is brilliant for her , because it means she gets to shop loads , which she loves , but also means that she gets to spend other peoples' money! Her boyfriend Luke has just proposed and they are about to get ...

Shopaholic and Baby - Another great Sophie Kinsella Book

Advantages: Fun story, good characters
Disadvantages: I read it way too quick

...are all based around a shopaholic called Becky. The books follow her story as she fights with her urges to shop while she has many big events in her life happen including meeting her husband Luke, moving to New York and meeting her sister she never knew she had. In the last book right at the end we find out Becky is pregnant. How is this shopaholic going to cope with being pregnant and having a baby. This is a very exciting time for Becky and she ...
...pregnancy story by combining her shopaholic tendencies. I love shopping myself which is why I think I enjoy the series so much. It definitely makes me feel better about my shopping habits anyway. No one could shop as much as Becky. Then again if I had a husband as rich as Luke.... It is an easy book to read and is not heavy at all, so is great to wind down in a evening or while having a bath or something. It has got elements of humour, romance, and ...
