- hmm, it was ok, very short, nothing special. Novels were more fun.
37. Shopaholic Takes Manhattan by Sophie Kinsella - loved it!! I even enjoyed it more than the first book.
38. Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella - funny but not as good as the first two books.
39. Shopaholic and Sister by Sophie Kinsella - it was the first shopaholic book I've ever read and I must say I liked it much more before than I do now. Imo that's because I've read them all very quicly and in the right order and I was able to compare it with other books.
40. Shopaholic and Baby by Sophie Kinsella - loved the plot!! It was different from other Shopaholic books. One of the best in the series.
41. Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella - ok, this one was great too, I just think the ending is a bit too weak. It was the end of a whole series after all.


YAY! I've reached my goal of 40 books this year. And it's not even december. I'm really happy with my accomplishment.
