  1. I was on a bus tour in Eastern Europe and I read Shopaholic and Sister. I found it extremely funny and at the end a little moving. It was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday because I was laughing at Becky and her extreme ways.
    I am passing the book on to friends who need a laugh.
    I am on the lookout for other Shopaholic books. Although I do not read very much at home, I tend to read more when on holiday.
