Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is the latest installment in her much-loved series featuring Becky Bloomwood. This book revolves around Becky taking on the task of hosting Christmas for her close friends and family. Lots of hilarious hijinks ensue that had me laughing out loud during the whole book. I love the series and was definitely not disappointed by this newest book. I can't wait for the next one to release! Reading about Becky and her adventures is always a rollicking good time. Read and enjoy!

I was able to read this book thanks to NetGalley. I have loved all of the shopaholic series and I was very excited to read the newest installment. This one met all of my expectations. Becky Brandon is one of my favorite characters of all time and she always manages to get into trouble. In this novel she is chose to host Christmas and you can imagine all the crazy antics that ensue. Reading this book was like returning home to old friends and is a must read for all shopaholic fans. Highly recommend! Thanks again to NetGalley!

Shopaholic is back! I've read every book in this series (some more than once) and overall I have loved everything about it. There were a few books that for me were not as great as others, but this one was a clear return to the story and characters that I've loved for years. If you have read any of the books in this series, this would be a great one to pick up for the holidays. Cute story and left me feeling warm and happy like any good holiday book should.

Nice, Christmas fluff. As I get older I am less enamored with her but she is still a funny character. Definitely still a shopaholic.

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? No? Have you even started?
Meet Becky. She’s a gal that flat-out lives for shopping! All day...every day! And when Christmas rolls around? Well, you can just imagine! She’s in seventh heaven and her shopping mania jumps right off the charts!

This year, Becky has something new to contribute other than wonderful presents. She’s been handed the awesome family task of making Christmas dinner with all the fixings and events for the day. She’s head-over-heels to take on this mighty challenge, but quickly discovers she’s in way over her head! First issue, she can’t stay focused, worrying she might miss a great deal if she isn’t watching for it.
But all her friends and family have requests and suggestions on what they would like at the dinner. And good ole’ Becky is determined to do it all, as to not upset anyone.

This is book 9 of the shopaholic series, (love that name) but it’s a first for me. I admit I did have a bit of trouble warming up to Becky. I thought she was over the top and grew annoyed with her at times. “Come on Becky! Focus!” Once I realized she wasn’t going to listen to me, I sat back, went for the ride and enjoyed her quirkiness.

Turns out Becky is a delightful, kind, loving and a hilarious character! I grew to love her and was rooting for the best Christmas ever!

A super fun laugh out loud read! I’m a new fan to the series and will be watching for the
next release!

A buddy read with Susanne!🎄

I didn’t enjoy this ‘shopaholic’ story as much as I have the others in this series. Becky just seemed too self centered. The family characters are all still fun to read about.

I will admit, this is my first read of the Shopaholic series. This book was hilarious. I tried not to wake my sleeping husband from laughing so hard. I have a big family a the holidays are totally crazy but part of what I love.
This is a good book to bring some laughter into you pre holiday festivities.

Christmas Shopaholic brought me back to the classic times with Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood). In the ninth installment of the Shopaholic series we find Becky back in England preparing to host her family’s Christmas gathering. Things begin to get out of hand when each of the 8 adults and 4 children begin to make special requests for the holiday. This book reminds you that behind some seemingly superficial shenanigans is a well-meaning, thoughtful character that has developed over the course of the series.
This book is a wonderful way to kick off the holiday reading season.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Becky Branson has returned from the states and is living in the charming village of Letherby. She is working with Suze, her best friend in Suze’s gift shop. She is shopping online while she listens to her meditation tapes.
Becky is hosting Christmas for the first time, and she really believes there is nothing complicated about it. The book is about all the unlucky accidents that happen during the time she is preparing for the party before the holiday. And then we get to experience Christmas Shopaholic style.
A very fun and easy book to read. I found it a fast paced read and very entertaining.
Specially when her old boyfriend and his fiancé come to town.
Becky has a fun and loving character. Sometimes she really cares to much about what others think about her but her lovely personality overcomes all these.
If you are looking for an easy and fast paced holiday book, then I recommend reading it.

My thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Random House for sending me an ARC copy.

Becky Brandon née Bloomwood is back! The shopaholic series are books that I can always count on for a good laugh and light read. Christmas Shopaholic was much like the earlier books in the series and was easily one of my favorites. Expect to laugh out loud several times in this book. I was laughing by the first chapter. I just love Becky and her justifications for buying things, her love of sales, and her big heart. It was a great book and I urge everyone to read it, especially if you’re looking for a light, cozy Christmas book.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this eARC!

I'm a Thanksgiving baby and while most of time I'm shat on because of the holidays (join in the fight with me Christmas and Valentine's Day babies!), Sophie Kinsella has given me the absolute BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT by bringing back the Becky Brandon (nee Bloomberg) I know and love!

THANK YOU for a great book - not only were the misadventures completely Becky-esque, but the whole meaning of Christmas is what the Grinch can't steal were fabulous - and I have found my calming mantra for the Holidays of 2019.

And the ending - I cannot wait!!!!!!!

Another great read by Kinsella. As always I start off feeling very stressed with Kinsella financial chaos. It is just so stressful to read but still so good.

Get ready! Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is back and shopping more than ever!

Yes it totally IS possible to shop more; while convincing yourself that you are shopping less (smart!), yet still able to help the economy (super smart!) and the environment (bonus!) and local businesses (fantastic!) and ... I mean really, if Becky doesn't spend 150£ and get the free shipping then she's not saving any money or getting a great deal...and really one can always use an extra totebag or10 right? (Handmade, locally sourced from a co-op...think of the orphans!)

And so begins another delicious installment in the shopaholic saga ... and Becky, our shopping heroine, truly at her shopping best, is tasked with the ultimate family celebration... Hosting Christmas!

Sophie kinsella does not disappoint her shopaholic fans! This is the too hilarious Christmas story of over-the-top-mega Christmas shopping with this-cant-be-happening out of control Becky escapades!

Becky hosting Christmas!...
Presents, chestnuts, trimming the tree, family singing Carol's and a llama... what could possibly go wrong?

Thank you NetGalley The Dial Press, Random House Publishing Group and the uber talented author Ms. Sophie Kinsella for the opportunity to read this Advanced Readers Copy of "Christmas Shopaholic"

There’s no one like Becky Brandon, née Bloomwood. I’ve said that the Shopaholic series and Sophie Kinsella got me back into reading years ago. I’ve missed a few books in the series but this felt like I hadn’t missed anything at all. I was taken right back to Becky’s hilarious mind and crazy antics. If you want a funny Holiday read, pick this one up! It came out October 15th. LOVE the ending.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for my gifted copies in exchange for an honest review.

I am a huge Sophie Kinsella fan and who doesn't love Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood). I have followed Becky since the first Shopaholic book. I love her crazy adventures and I love how her story always turns out perfectly. This book was perfect for this time of year with Christmas right around the corner. Becky is back just in time for Christmas with her crazy shenanigans trying to pull off the perfect Christmas celebration for Minnie, Luke and the rest of her family. Kinsella delivers again, the perfect shopaholic companion. If you are a Kinsella fan, this book will not disappoint. It the perfect light-hearted book. An easy read for a cold afternoon. Special thanks to NetGalley and Random House Publishing for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Oh how I have missed Becky Brandon, née Bloomwood. This was such a fun return to the Shopaholic series. I laughed out loud throughout the entire book. I think it provides enough information where it can be read as a stand alone but definitely ties in well with the rest of the series. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun holiday read.

Thank you Netgalley, The Dial Press, and Random House for the advance copy of this book.

Oh Becky Brandon nee Bloomwood is up her typical antics once again. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from beginning to end. It’s always great to revisit ‘old friends’ and see what they’re up to.

Throughout the novel one major question looped through my head: are there actually people in the real world like Becky?

I’m sure there are, but I can’t imagine it. Becky truly has a good heart and wants to help those around her. I hope this isn’t the last we see from this series!

Becky is back! While I haven't loved the last few Shopaholic books - because they aren't as fabulous as the original - I was excited to have Becky's story continue. There were some really funny parts in this book, as usual. Overall it was a quick read and enjoyable.

Christmas Shopaholic, the latest adventure in Becky Brandon's ( nee' Bloomwood) life, is a charming and comical seasonal novel that Sophie Kinsella's fans will continue to adore. Becky, after a rather interesting and odd stint in Los Angeles, has returned to England with Luke, Minnie, Suze and company. Only her parents have decided to move to a trendy neighborhood in London and pass along Christmas hosting duties to our favorite scattered shopaholic. Jess and Tom are being secretive and the reappearance of Becky's college ex-boyfriend throws Letherby village for a loop. Will Becky manage to host Christmas or will disaster ensue? In trademark Kinsella fashion readers will enjoy finding the answer to what Christmas is all about Becky Brandon (nee' Bloomwood) style.

Having read all the Shopaholic series this is one of my favorites of the newer books in the series. The LA stories were not my favorite but I always enjoy a Becky tale. Our shopaholic is still as zany as ever and perhaps a bit unrealistic in her expectations and decisions but it always comes from her heart of gold. This is one not to miss!

Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I have soooooo missed Becky!!!!!!! Let me just start off by saying if you haven't read this series before now, stop what you're doing and go check it out. The lovely thing about Christmas Shopaholic is that it can be read as a stand alone book, but having some of the background just makes it even more funnier.

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is back and she is feistier than ever. Her crazy antics, shopping extravaganzas and hilarious letter writing are in full force when she is asked to host Christmas. Who wouldn't want to host Christmas? This is just another excuse to go shopping!!! I've got to get that llama Christmas ornament that is THE ornament to have this year!! Becky is one of those people I wish I had in my life as a friend. She will always keep life lighthearted and exciting and keep you on your toes.

This book is so much fun to read and it's the perfect holiday book. So many of the situations Becky gets herself into, I feel like could happen in real life as extreme as they are. I laughed so hard I cried. And isn't that also what the holidays are about - fun and laughter too?

This book and these characters will give you bowls full of belly laughs, keep you entertained and get you in the festive holiday spirit!!! Get your copy today, you don't want to miss this one!!!

My thanks to Sophie Kinsella, Random House Publishing and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
