Well not really. But I have been hooked on reading again. I just started reading "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and it's good so far. It's funny how I can relate so much to the main character, Rebecca. I remember once upon a time when I was just as careless with money and just didn't accept my responsibilities. Like what, really, I have to pay credit cards back? haha.
I'm not saying that I'm no longer a shopaholic, but I am more aware of bargains and sales and all in between. I don't throw money around like I used to and definitely don't spend much on myself these days. But like everyone else, I still want nice things for the house, comfortable clothes for the family, delicious food on the table, so I am just much smarter with the money I do spend.
Anyway, back to the book. It's set in England so there are a lot of terms you have to get used to (like loo for restroom, bloody for damn, etc) but it's a pretty easy read. I am trying to get to the end so I can go see the movie in a couple of weeks. I am betting Isla Fisher will make a good Rebecca. She's so darn cute.

It must be the time of year because I have picked up a few good books lately too! I just read Skinny Bitch (hilarious and motivating) and am moving on to a heavier genre - Dreams from My Father (by Barack Obama). Happy reading! BTW I want to start the Twilight series (when I have absolutely no other commitments!).
I wanted to pick up Skinny Bitch at Costco the other day. I'll probably have to buy that now since I've heard a lot of good things about it. You definitely have to read the Twilight series...soooooo worth it! I forgot all about real life while reading them. LOL.
If you like Sophia Kinsella, you might want to check out "Undomestic Goddess". It's not related to her Shopaholic series, but I actually enjoyed it more. (I got annoyed with Rebecca by book three.)
Another good Brit Chick Lit author is Jane Green. ("Jemima J")
