Ahh sniff sniff

I have just turned the last page on Shopaholic and Baby and this so reminds me why Sophie Kinsella is my favourite chicklit author... granted she hasn't written as many books as some and I liked but didn't love the Undomestic Goddess, but it's more to do with the fact that "Can You Keep a Secret?" was my introduction to the whole happy world of chicklit and it's always been my benchmark.

The latest read was great - yes if you've read Shopaholics before you'll recognise the plot patterns - but that's why you read the Shopaholics and why you just love Becky.

And well I always manage a few bleary eyed moments reading Becky books and I do remember getting very teary in Can You Keep a Secret? - I'm odd like that... :oP so yes I have got all a bit wistful now that I've finished the latest Shopaholic, feels great to have read it but sad at the same time as that's it... for now, unless there's Shopaholic and Daughter coming out in a few years, and fingers crossed for some more stand-alone books like Can you Keep a Secret?

I may just have to reread it one of these days. So that now leaves me wanting to fill the post-fab-read-blues ce soir. Think it's time to put on a DVD - Stick It, for some reason I like films like this as well, the ones where no matter how bad you know its going to be, once you've started watching you have to see it through to the end. We'll see it looked promising in the trailers we saw when Zoe and I went to see the Devil Wears Prada. hehe

Also the gym must have done me good last night as I am rather more aware of how many muscles the human has than for my own liking right now - but I must get in there again tomorrow to fill my quota, plus next Friday it's a review session on Get Results which includes weigh in, and I feel a bit despondent with that side of things - but my trainer said the inches are definitely going so I could just be converting to muscle a bit right now, well lets hope its that and not my chocolate affliction earlier this week. But the past couple of days I have been feeling like SW is going better, so lets hope that's the case and I can get back on the right road with it all.

Just managed to get Shopaholic and Baby out of the library this morning so if you don't see me around for the rest of the weekend you know I'll be locked in a room away from the boys and reading!!!

Currently trying to resist buying this one. It's tough though!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
