In true fashion, Becky Bloomwood/Brandon is unreal and shaking-my-head silly. I've read this series since I was in college, so it's always nice to "grow" with the character. I'll always have a soft spot for these Shopaholic books.

How could a Becky Bloomwood novel be anything but delightful? I always love revisiting Becky and these wonderful characters that Sophie Kinsella has created.

Fun and fast read—Becky Bloom does it again! This was a laugh out loud book for me as I managed the stress of the holidays.

This is a gorgeous little story, you will fall in love with the characters and the setting, and the ending will leave you with a very cozy and happy feeling. It’s a fantastic Christmas or holiday read and is packed with festive spirit and a sweet love story. The cover is very bright and pulls you in and matches the story perfectly. I had a lot of fun reading this book!

Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is an installment for the Confessions of a Shopaholic series. Laugh out loud funny and great characterizations, this book can be read alone or as post of the series.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley for my honest review. The opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.

Confessions of a Shopaholic has always been one of my all time favorite books, especially for introducing me to the "chick lit" genre. I loved following Becky and her entertaining family and friends. However, after Mini Shopaholic, I didn't enjoy the books set in Hollywood as much. However, the magic of Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood is back in Christmas Shopaholic. I think the insanity of Christmas shopping and planning made for the perfect setup for Becky. There were a few subplots but I think the funniest moments came as she tried to manage all of her family's outrageous requests. Although I love all of Kinsella's works, after Christmas Shopaholic I wouldn't mind a return of Becky once again.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and the Publisher for sharing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Another outstanding book by an exceptional author.

Christmas Shopahilic is number 9 in the Shopaholic series that follows Becky Bloomwood! This one can be read as a stand-alone and is laugh out loud as every single one in this series! You don’t want to miss it!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!

Like many of Kinsella's novels, this is a cute and cozy feel-good novel that will get you in the Christmas spirit, but definitely wasn't anything deep. You know what you're getting with Kinsella, so expect that!

Christmas Shopaholic was another adorable story about Becky. This story was fast paced and delightful with Becky getting into her usual large amount of ridiculous and funny snafus. This was the perfect holiday read.

The humor of shopaholic is back and I love the cute seasonal nature of this one. Sophie can do no wrong!

This book was cute and such a fast read. If you are looking for something light and fun for Christmas, then this is the book for you. I really enjoyed the characters and the plot a lot. A lot of the Christmas books are generally a cookie-cutter of the next one. But this one was pretty unique.

How can you not love Becky and her stories! I’ve enjoyed Sophie Kinsella’s writing for a long time. This book is no different- it is funny, charming, and a cute Christmas read to help you get into the festive Christmas spirit. Now yes I read it in July, but I just needed a little Christmas to take me away from the hot weather. 5 stars!

You never get tired of Sophie kinsella or her shopaholic series. I took a break after the 3rd or 4th book. They started to get redundant and whiny.

This was cute and fluffy Bex is still getting herself in all kinds of trouble and honestly these are always going to be something I can pick up when I'm in a slump and want light fast easy contemporary reads.

Great for the holidays and even better when it's over 100 out and needing a winter read!

As usual, very funny book! This book went in my Christmas must read display. I had a patron enjoy it so much, she went back and read all of the Sophie Kinsella books in the library!

These books are always a lot of fun! This one is no different. It hits all of the key points of a shopaholic novel, chaos, fun, love, hilarious interactions of the characters, all tied up in a nice bow.

Sophie Kinsella has done it again! Will Rebecca ever learn? Shopping is even easier now with online shopping from bargain sites and free shipping.

In addition to her shopping, Rebecca will host Christmas, since her parents are moving! Will Rebecca be able to handle the dinner preparations, shopping, and an old flame appearing?

Feels familiar with lots of laughs.

Another fun Shopaholic book. This time Becky is back home in England. I laughed at the predicaments Becky gets herself into, and felt the closeness of her family and friends. I look forward to each installment of the Shopaholic series.
