Mini Shopaholic By Sophie Kinsella – Hilarious!

October 12th, 2010 5 Comments

I have a little confession to make.  I have read all of Sophie Kinsella‘s books.  The entire Shopaholic series and the rest of the non-Shopaholic series.  The only books of hers I have not read are her earlier works written under her real name Madeleine Wickham.  I have been doing some soul searching lately.  Does [...]

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella – Similar Formula, But Connecting In A Different Dimension

January 28th, 2008 11 Comments

Yet another fellow senior from my good old university that I am proud of (erm … somewhere in Oxford, UK), I swear I might have met Sophie Kinsella or rather Madeleine Wickham back in my college days. Make no guess of how old I am please. Onto her fifth installment of the shopaholic series, this time [...]

Undomestic Goddess – A Good Read

March 21st, 2006 3 Comments

Some people call it “chick-lit” (literature for chicks) but I do find it a very good read. Something I can sort of relate to (life of a professional) and had a good laugh from page to page. After I finished reading it, Cynthia took over, finished in one of two days, then passed it to her [...]
