This is Sexy Nomad's pothole of books she's read. She's still finding the time to complete her collection coz she believes that "Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers." --- Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life, 1896

The Shopaholic Series

June 23, 2006

 

 

OH-MY-GOD!!! I never knew that Sophie Kinsella’s novels would be such a huge hit! They totally turned my world around in a matter of a few days. And I’ve been happier and more excited about my life ever since. To think that I oftentimes see these colorful books whenever I pass by Powerbooks on my way to meet up with Peter and simply ignore them! I remember dismissing them as shallow books for shallow readers. And now, here I am obsessing about her work. Golly!
