My #4 book was Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella. This was a really fun read for me. I saw the movie when it came out last summer and thought it was a cute story line so I decided to try the book.The book was different from the movie in some ways, mainly where the story is set and the language was also different since in the book the main character, Rebecca Bloomwood, is from England. In the book Rebecca gets into trouble with her spending habits, she likes to shop and always has a justification for a new scarf, sweater, pair of shoes or other unnecessary items that she "has to have." Rebecca also has a tendency to put all her purchases on her credit cards and avoids checking the mail when the statements come. After receiving the advice, "either cut back or make more money" from her father, she realizes it would be too hard to cut back (I mean she NEEDS that scarf!), Rebecca decides to try whatever it takes to make more money with finding jobs, trying the 'make money at home' technique and other crazy ideas. This book was very enjoyable and a quick read. I think I'm going to have to read the sequels! :)
