shopaholic chick-lit..

most of my nights, i hit the sack, feeling tired after dealing with the chores, in which certainly helps me fall right into dreamland. but recently, i found sleeping bliss.

last month, i was browsing through mph online store and saw discounts for online shoppers. then i saw discounts on one of shopaholic series and bought it online. when it arrived, i was so happy but i told myself i cannot read this. i should read it series by series and the one i bought was the last series. i wonder why they're not giving discounts for the earliest series, i would have bought them. then, i remembered shadiah has the whole series of shopaholic, so i borrowed them all. i know most of you all have read it.. i ni ketinggalan la sikit.

i have finished 2 series and another 4 to go... once i start, i just cant stop reading it...

i read it every night before bedtime and that's how i started having blissful sleep - calm and relaxing. those who has insomnia - reading is definitely one of the steps to overcome your problem ya. so grab your fav books or mags...

i enjoy reading the shopaholic series very much. it's interesting to see how compulsive shopping can become an habit to one. i'm not a shopaholic although i may see myself as one only if i'm wealthy coz in reality i'm not. years ago, before getting into married life, i was in debt when i splurged up to the limit on every credit card i had that time - 5 credit cards!! melampau kannn. i was young and naive then and i didnt think much how destructive splurging can be. anyway, it was part of lesson in my life way back and grateful that i was able to pay off. so i dont hold any credit cards anymore. (though i do have the desire to have one..)

every time i go for shopping, i'll have my shopping list. i'll check out on the prices, think hard - necessity or necessary...

Sophie Kinsella??? My all time fav shopaholics series pasal si Becky! Read them all except the last one which I think is the baby. Wanted to buy it when MPH had a warehouse sale recently at $10 but decided to just go the library & borrow..jimat $10 tu! But of courselah, kalau kat library, buku Shopaholic ni slalu sold out.. Sabar ajelah!
