More Sophie Kinsella

So now you know that I’m addicted to Sophie Kinsella’s writings. You also know that I was able to buy only few of her books: “Shopaholic & Sister”, “Can You Keep a Secret?”, and “The Undomestic Goddess”. I was dying to get her other published books, especially the Shopaholic series.
Now I can proudly say that my dreams came true. In his recent visit to Manchester, my dear husband bought me all the ones I wanted , although I told him that after having Adam, I didn’t have this reading appetite, besides lacking the time of course. But amazingly enough, once he opened his suitcase and handed me the books: “The Secret Dream World of a Shopaholic”, which I discovered -only recently- goes also by the title: “Confessions of a Shopaholic”, “Shopaholic Abroad”, which I also discovered -only recently- goes also by the title: “Shopaholic Takes Manhattan”, and “Shopaholic Ties The Knot”, I couldn’t wait to put Adam to sleep so that I could start reading right away.
I’ve decided to start reading her first book in the shopaholic series:”The Secret Dream World of a Shopaholic”, and I must say it’s as good as I thought it would be and I’m enjoying every page.
I read whenever I have the time, so after I’m done with my daily housework, when Adam’s asleep, or when he’s playing in his rocking chair, or when he’s sitting quietly in my lap (while happily pulling out my hair and squeezing my cheeks).

Now the great news I heard from my husband was that a new book of Kinsella is coming out in February, now that is part of the news, the other rather more interesting part is the fact that it’s another shopaholic book, and the last most interesting bit of the news is the title of the book: “Shopaholic & Baby”.
As I earlier said, it’s so easy to relate to Kinsella’s characters, and now that I have a baby and been through the preparations stage of having one, I must relate to the character more and enjoy this specific book of hers so much.
My husband told me that Kinsella was to sign copies of her latest book for her fans in February, but unfortunately he missed it… imagine if the timing of his visit was otherwise! I could’ve gotten a copie with my dear Kinsella’s signature on it!
Hard luck Eman!

Anyway, one must always look at the bright side: I have the full shopaholic series (except for the one to be yet released in Feb.) and her other 2 books, i.e. I have all her books, how great is that for a fan!
