For those of you who like Sophia Kinsella the author of the shopaholic series, i'd like to tell you that she also goes under the name Madeleine Wickham.

I've only read Confessions of a Shopaholic and I didn't think much of it. It just seemed like a rather bland imitation of the Bridget Jones books...

I read the Undomestic Goddess under her pseudonym Sophie Kinsella and then Cocktails for Three under her real name Madeleine Wickham. I found out when I bought Cocktails for Three that Sophie Kinsella was a fake name (because it said that on the back cover).
What are your favourites of hers? I LOVED Undomestic Goddess, but I wasn't too fond of Cocktails for Three

I like the Shopaholic series. I read it for a light, fluffy read. I wasn't expecting anything great out ot it. I wanted a laugh, and that's what I got. They were good.

I liked the 1st SShopaholic books. They were silly fun. Like "I Love Lucy". The 4th I didn;t like. It lacked the same sense of fun but kept much of the stupidity. I haven't read any of the books she wrote under her pen name though.

ya I think the first one is really good....especially since she's a financial consultant who has tons of debt.

I liked the first shopaholic book ok, but i hated all the sequels because I felt it was the same main story over and over, and the main character got incredibly annoying. It's discouraged me from trying anything else of hers.
When I need something light and beach-read-like I read Jennifer Crusie. She has a lot of books out, some are published as paperback romances but the best are the ones that came out as regular fiction hardcover. She writes well, creates very likable characters, and all her books are very fun and interesting. My favorites are "Welcome to Temptation" and "Bet Me."
