#13

 Book #13 ~ Sophie Kinsella's Confessions of a Shopaholic is a fun little story.  As the opposite of a shopaholic, there were moments that it was just maddening.  Who can really be that irresponsible?  People who do their jobs like Becky Bloomwood does generally piss me off.  But as a character in a book ~ whom I did not have to work with ~ she's lovable & fun.  The characters are all a little over the top, but that makes for a good story.  Of course...the book ended with a cliffhanger, so I went and checked the next one out right away.  It may be the summer of Sophie!  {not as good as the summer of Janet, but you can't beat Stephanie & Lula}

Good Word:

It means ~ utterly astonished; astounded ~ and I think it's fun to say.
