::Shopaholic Series by Sophie Kinsella::
Meet the charming Becky Bloomwood from the Shopaholic novel series. A very good friend in college recommended this for light reading. A year after coming to Dubai, I finally laid my hands on them. Oh, Becky is the perfect companion by the beach as you read her adventures in shopping.
::The Harry Potter Series::
::The Brethren by John Grisham::
This is not a great book but thoroughly entertaining. Unlike the usual Grisham formula, there is no showdown in the courtroom. The Brethren is about three crooked judges (who call themselves The Brethren) serving their time in federal prison. They unofficially handle inmate disputes within the fences.
The Brethren needed money when they go out of prison eventually so they began a scam, placing tiny adds on the back of magazines, targeting gay, wealthy men. They exchange letters until their penpals are identified before sending extorion letters.The Brethren succeeded on many occasion until they conned the wrong man and got the CIA to watch them.
The characters are not interesting but how Grisham explained their actions and the details of their scam is absolutely funny!
An entry for
14 sweets for Kero:
i have not read any sophie kinsella books, although i totally loved the movie version of the confessions of a shopaholic. On the other hand, Im a big HP fan and can't wait for the next movie installment. Si hubby ko naman super duper fave si john grisham, complete siya ng collection ng lahat ng novels niya. Hehehe.
I told myself i will join GT last week, sayang i like pa naman the theme, hopefully if i have time and energy laterz ill write an entry.
Enjoy the rest of the week :)

GT:Funny Books
Hi Sis ^_^ same with Ms. K. a shopaholic collection by Sophie!!
>> I haven't read any of them!! but I will add it on my list to purchase!!!
>> Happy GT ^_^
I love Harry Patter, sad to say i don't have a hard copy of books, expensive eh, coz i want the hardbound, but i downloaded ebooks of it... and am waiting for the deadly hallows to be on big screen ;-)
haven't really read any of Ms Kinsella's books but have watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic". I think the movie is related to her Shopaholic series. thought it was kinda cute about learning lessons in life.
happy GT.
sis, the harry potter was actually my sons bible, I noticed one day he keeps laughing alone in his room... he said it was funny .. I finished the first series and eventually bought the whole set.. waaaaa.... nabutas yung bulsa ko.. pero great read...
GT Here
hindi ko pa nabasa yang dalawang books mo :) ehehe
i started reading Shopaholic this week and i'm having fun!
thanks for recommending The Brethren, i've been dying to grab a copy of it in the bookstore but i haven't read any reviews about it until now.. thanks!
i've heard a lot of these books but i've never been around to getting myself a copy. maybe i should, lol!
i cannot imagine grisham being categorized as funny, but maybe it's because i haven't read the brethren yet. will do when i find the time. thanks for the suggestion!
sorry for the late visit (bad host! LOL). thanks for joining GT!
