Shopaholic & Baby by Sophie Kinsella [ Edited ]

[Amanda_R]

Becky is Back -- Now, With a Baby!

From our editors: "Shopaholic Becky Bloomwood is pregnant, but the prospect of motherhood hasn't reined in her passion for fashion. In fact, this insatiable London shopper has a new excuse for raiding boutiques, catalogues, and baby shops for goodies. Amid all this happy expectation, though, lurks a major problem. Becky has become convinced that her hubby Luke has been fiddling with vampish obstetrician Venetia Carter. To allay her fears, our self-indulgent personal shopper hires a private detective to track down the truth. It won't surprise Shopaholic fans that this sets off a madcap romp that is more fun than an afternoon at Prada."

Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic novels never fail to create a fabulous fanfare upon their release -- and this one is no exception. If you've read Becky's latest adventure, do dish! How does it compare to Kinsella's other books? Of the series, which is your personal favorite so far?

I just read this book. It's as enjoyable and humorous as the rest of the series, and it's always fun to meet up with these characters again. While Becky can be a trial to her friends and to Luke, she's sharper than she sometimes appears.

All of Sophie Kinsella's are great fun to read!

Hey LizzieAnn, welcome! Sophie joined us for a discussion of Shopaholic and Sister some time ago and she was a blast. Glad to hear the new book is just as much fun as her previous.

Thanks, Amanda That was great! Thanks again. Sophie is such a light fluffy writer but always entails a wonderful story that stirs your emotions empeccibly. I love to include one of hers between maybe a heavy writer and one you dutifully have to concentrate vividly and ernestly while reading.
