『Confessions of a Shopaholic』 by Sophie Kinsella

There’s just one essential purchase I have to make on the way to the press conference – and that’s the Financial Times. The FT is by far the best accessory a girl can have. Its major advantages are :
1. It’s a nice color
2. It only costs eighty-five pence.
3. If you walk into a room with it tucked under your arm, people take you seriously. With an FT under your arm, you can talk about the most frivolous things in the world, and instead of thinking you’re an airhead, people think you’re a heavy-weight intellectual who had broader interests, too.

『Shopaholic takes Manhattan』 by Sophie Kinsella

This is how I shop these days : no pausing, no browsing, no eyeing up other items. 18p

“Oh, Becky”, says Janice, and squeezes my hand. “This must be a hard day for you, too.”
I knew it. She does still think I fancy Tom, doesn’t she? Why do all mothers think their sons are irresistible? 112p

As I reach the entrance to the fitness center I glance at my reflection-and I’m secretly quite impressed. They say people in New York are all pencil thin and fit, don’t they? But I reckon I look much fitter than some of these characters. I mean, look at that balding guy over there in the gray T-shirt. He looks like he’s never been near a gym in his life! 163p

God I adore shopping abroad. I mean, shopping anywhere is always great-but the advantage of doing it abroad are:
1. You can buy things you can’t get in Britain.
2. You can name-drop when you get back home. (“Actually, I picked up in New York)
3. Foreign money doesn’t count, so you can spend as much as you like. 174p




Confessions of a Shopaholic / Shopaholic Takes Manhattan /  Shopaholic Ties the Knot
요렇게 3권이 레베카 스토리인데 『Shopaholic Takes Manhattan』까지 읽으니까 좀 지루해져서 『Shopaholic Ties the Knot』는 못읽겠다 ㅋㅋ
내용은 『Confessions of a Shopaholic』이 젤 참신하고 재밌음

Sophie Kinsella도 맘에 드는 작가라서
그녀의 다른 신간인 『The Undomestic Goddess』나 읽어볼까 고민중
