I finished reading Confessions of a Shopaholic today. I am supposed to be a slow reader but this book was something I can finish in just two sittings.
This morning I calculated I would take at least a day or two more to finish the whole book. So I ordered the next books in the series from Flipkart. I totally did not want to wait for the next book in the series, and I thought I would receive the next book by the time I finish the current book, which would be two days later. And guess what? I finished the book this afternoon itself.
This meant I had to wait for two days for the next book to arrive. I had to cancel my order at Flipkart. Eeeksss! Called Flipkart. The guy asked me the reason for canceling the order. I almost giggled awkwardly and said,” You know this book is of a series and I finished reading it. I don’t think I’d have the patience to wait for two days for the next books in the series to arrive.” I could almost feel him grinning from the other side of the phone.
Without any fuss they cancelled my order. (God! I love them. How could they be so calm, patient and sweet at the same time?)
Ta Da!
I went to office this evening to celebrate a colleague’s birthday. From there I tip toed to a nearby book shop with Mr Husband; picked up the entire series. Even asked the book seller for a discount, since “Flipkart” always gives discounts so he should give some too.
Came back home. Started reading the Shopaholic Abroad. I am a Happy Bunny.
“Early” TGIF everyone.
Oh! did I tell you I loved the book?

Rati,
I am a BIG Fan of the shopoholic series. In fact I have books as well as ebooks. I must have read each book at least 5-6 times. I so love Becky and more than that I can relate to her in many ways…LOL… Its a must read. I am awaiting her new book.. I hope it releases sooooon
lolll!!! that’s like the heights .
LOL… totally
“Oh! did I tell you I loved the book?” — Nope, never!

The pictures with the flower look so pretty, Rati. You need to do a music related post soon!
Awww Rati… U remind me of myself.. I remember the days when I did something very similar
I have all the books including Mini Shopaholic. I agree its quite addictive. I am a pretty fast reader myself n I sat down to read the first Shopaholic book n was done after 3 hrs! 
After this series, u HAVE to read The Undomestic Goddess and Remember Me by the same author. Love them myself!!
Ramya, actually I am a slow reader. I just read only a few books super fast. shopaholic is going to be one of them.
I saw the undomestic goddess at the store yesterday but resisted myself from picking it up yet. I am def going to read those. thanks.
Oh!! Pick it up after finishing this series
And I just love how u have photographed the books… They look very pretty
thank you ramya. I have started enjoying photography oflate so trying out new things. Glad you liked.
damn devie. I always miss out on the most important details.
i guess i’d start doing movie. I am a movie buff. Music is very selective but let me see.
)
I know exactly what you mean Rati!!!! It’s happening to me now after reading book 1 Hunger Games. Can’t wait to get the next one! BTW, I’ve read every single book in the shopaholic series – each one is fun in its own way
))
really?? do share how you find the whole series.
I agree with you
hehe I hav all of these!!!!! Actually Eddie picks them up for me coz he knws how crazy i m abt Sophie Kinsella!!! Ratii one more suggestion..u hav to read “The Zoya factor” i dnt rember the authors name…i read there is a movie also being made on it now…but its a fun book…its abt a gal named Zoya who is lucky fo the Indian cricket team..if she has brkfast with the team b4 the match..India wins!!… though i m not a sports fan at all….the book is hilarious…they hav even spoofed Irfan Pathan and Dhoni in it!!!!!
hihihih that sounds funny.
Reminds me of that octopus and parrot stuff that used to happen before the matches.
I’d check.
Zoya factor is by Anuja Chauhan – she is one of the best chick lit writers from India. Farhoooooo I loved that book too. Have u read Battle for Bittora ? Its her second book and just as fab !
I have read only the first one… and loved it…
Will try to get this full serise for read … Happy reading to you Rati!!
thanks sweta . To you too.
hey, the confessions of a shopaholic?? There is also a movie with the same name… Is it based on this novel??
the girl with the green scarf!!! something like that??
actually the movie was made by merging the first two books and changing the story A LOT as a result…there was a second movie too…didnt see that…u can say they are loosely based on the books…but the books are more fun
thanks krishti.
I am getting the books then… books are always so much better than movies… I thought the same about Potter and Da Vinci Code…
you know…you told me abt the books and i ordered them from flipkart and i got it in a day !!!! almost half way on “goddess……” book
….I actually ordered 2, bec i didnt want to waste time between 2 book ordering !!!
