Recently I picked up a strange book at a garage sale and gave some thought to reading it. The book was "Shopaholic & Sister" by Sophie Kinsella. I knew of a series of these books and since I didn't think I would finish it anyway, I didn't worry about reading the series from the start. I was absolutely surprised to find that I loved Sophie Kinsella's books. In fact I not only finished the book within 24 hours but I actually stayed up until 5:00 in the morning to finish it. I laughed out loud, chuckled to myself and had to wipe my eyes a couple of times. Not only was it the type of story and style of writing that I could really get into but I loved the character, Becky Bloomwood! She so reminded me of , well, um, ....ME! (ha ha)
Now I'm hooked and I'm on a quest to buy all these books unless I can get my friends and family to buy one each and send them to me. So now I'm really fully armed with information should someone ask "what do you want for your birthday or Christmas?".....
One great surprise is that I'm reading again and finishing a book, wow -- that in itself is an accomplishment that I didn't think I would achieve. I usually get bored or I'm drawn away by other things I would rather be doing.
