Well I finally read the book. I was really look forward to reading this book, so I feel a bit let down. It wasn't as good as I was expecting. Half the time I wanted to smack the main character and ask what was she thinking only to read that she is not. I did enjoy the ending and will try to read the next one to see if it gets better now that she has a speck of common sense.
Book went in the mail on Saturday April 26, 2003 on it's way to kbgoffe in the bookring.
Just got this in today's mail. Great timing too as I have the flu and just want to cuddle up with a book. Thanks JPandJo!
This was the perfect book to read while having the flu. It is just a nice light read. My feelings matched yours JPandJo about wanting to smack the main character. Yes I do remember being young and unwise with my money but not that bad! It was slightly stressful reading how she was avoiding the truth of her situation. Thankfully she starts to come around in the end. I do want to read the next book in this series to see if she stays on the path to common sense. :)

Surprised to get "Shopaholic" this fast! It arrived in today's mail. I look forward to reading it after I finish my current read, which should be any day now. Then I'll journal and get it on it's way. Thanks JPandJo for sharing, and to Kbjaffe for getting this off to me so quicklt!
Entertaining mind-candy of a book. Fluffy reading, a modern fairy-tale - nothing deep or thought-provoking here. Perfect for the beach or travel. The main character, Becky, shops - I mean SHOPS and SHOPS, until her spending and life is spinning out-of-control. At first I didn't get it, but then, it dawned on me - she had a boring life and shopping was her escape and addiction! The story and character grows on you and the last half of the book was hard to put down. I did enjoy this book and look forward to reading the next in the series. Thanks for passing this on, JPandJo!
Mailed today to ratmammy in California. Enjoy!
Just received this book from fellow bookcrosser. Will read this book sometime in the next few weeks and will pass it on!

Well, what can I say except that I first read the second book off this series and than this book so.
But it was really funny to read and I will look that I can read more from this author.
The good about BookRings/Ray is that you can try a author you never have read before and mainley you will like it.
so the book goes over the oecan back to the USA.....

Release planned for Saturday, June 28, 2003 at Postal System in Ginsheim, Hessen Germany.sent to the next member off this BookRing ==> alsomama
.....and the book arrived in my mailbox today, August 5, safe and sound. What a long trip! I look forward to reading this one as I've heard good things about it. This was a great surprise as I'd totally forgotten I'd signed up for the bookring. I'll try and read it soon and get it moving as fast as I can. Thanks, everyone, for passing it on and thanks especially to JPandJo for creating the bookring!
This was a fun read in between some more serious stuff. Hey, I like to shop as much as the next person, but it's hard to believe that a character could be THAT obsessed with buying clothes. Still, there are lots of people in serious debt and that's probably how they got there. I probably won't look for the other books in the series but I had been curious about this one. Now I know! Thanks so much for including me in this bookring. The book now gets sent to: .........(sorry, checking).......IACBY.
I just received the book in the mail, and can't wait to read it!
(Very cool and yellow envelope, alsomama!)

What a cute book!
I must admit that I was starting to stress whenever the main character would get herself deeper into debt... :o) I literally had to put the book down for a little bit before I could continue! I just wanted to shake her up a bit! The second half of the story is great, and overall, this was a fun read. It should be fun to see the book transformed into a movie version.
Sending to Rern when I get a pm back!

Recieved this book on Wednesday and am so looking forward to reading it! I have 2 chapters left on what I'm reading then on to this. Hope to send the book on home by the end of the week. Thank you for adding me at the last minute. :0)
This book returned home yesterday.
I'm shocked at how good of shape it is in for having traveled the world.
Not sure what to do with it next. Most likely a local release.
