Since November 2009Book News: Mini Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
Posted on Friday, January 8th, 2010 by LeahWhen Sophie Kinsella mentioned a few months ago that she was working on another Shopaholic I nearly went into hyperspace. The Shopaholic series is my favourite. series. ever. and I couldn’t wait to find out what the title would be never mind the synopsis or cover. The next Shopaholic will be titled MINI SHOPAHOLIC (yes, it deserves caps) and is due out on 16th September 2010 (WHY SO LONG?). The synopsis is also finally up and here you go - get your heads around this:
Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) thought motherhood would be a breeze - but it’s trickier than she thought. Two-year-old Minnie is a little tearaway who has created havoc everywhere from Harrods to Harvey Nicks to her own christening. She hires taxis at random, her favourite word is ‘Mine’, and she already has a penchant for Balenciaga bags. Becky is at her wits’ end.
On top of this, she and Luke are still living with her Mum and Dad, there’s a big financial crisis so everyone’s having to Cut Back - including all her personal shopping clients - and her husband Luke is feeling low after the death of his beloved stepmother. To cheer Luke up, Becky decides to throw him a surprise birthday party - on a budget - and that’s when things become really complicated. As Becky tries to keep the arrangements secret, misunderstandings and excuses sprout everywhere, and soon she’s told so many fibs she can’t keep track of them. Will Becky pull off the surprise? Will Minnie give everything away? Will Minnie’s godparents ever stop arguing? Who will end up on the naughty step and who will get a gold star? And what will happen when Becky discovers Luke is keeping a big secret too?
I really don’t think I can wait until September. Truly I don’t. This makes Sophie Kinsella week in September OFFICIAL. Just reading the synopsis makes me want to re-read all of Becky’s adventures RIGHT NOW. Don’t worry I will be re-reading all of the Shopaholics as well as Sophie’s other books in readiness for SOPHIE KINSELLA WEEK. Words cannot describe how much I love Sophie Kinsella/Shopaholic series/Becky Bloomwood. I just hope Sophie doesn’t break Becky and Luke up otherwise I’ll be after her with a very sharp object.
