What do you mean by share? Swapping? Or sharing what we think of her work?
I don't have her full collection. And honestly, I don't get what's the big fuss about her books in the first place. Sure, kinda fun to read, but that's about it. BTW, Becky Bloomwood irritates me. Esp. in Shopaholic and Baby. |

She's the only chic lit writer I read, no thanks to my sister who is a big fan. I have her whole shopahollic series as well as her stand alone books. Just finished 'Remember Me?' over the CNY holidays.
If you ask me, she's a much better writer then Twilight's author. |

To dishwasher --> oh,u have the latest novel aso...how would u rate the story line, out of 5 stars ?plan to get that after i finish the Shopaholics & baby...*_* i find the single novels of kinSella's fun to read, compared to Cecelia Ahern...
 To budakjahat --> NO SWAPPING, mayb i did not states clearly the idea of sharing.  (my apology).yah...u may share the comment of Kinsella's novel or etc..up to u..To be frank, though Becky's character is really 'iritating'& duppy in the Shopaholics series and but hey, i really enjoy Kinsella's collection..  |

I actually like "Can you keep a secret?"... And yes, Becky Bloomwood is annoying.

i have all the shopaholic series...i think the 1st one(confessions of a shopaholic) and the last one (shopaholic and baby)are the best....i also like 'can you keep a secret' and 'undomestic goddess' but 'remember me' was quite boring though...

Hi skydustI agree with you - quite boring for "remember me"! i was dragging through the book towards the end. But after this I've bought 2nd hand The Undomestic Goddess and Can YOu Keep a Secret... hope they are good |

sophie kinsella is one of the most wonderful writer in my opinion. Her books are simple entertaining and it can de-stress a person. All her books are witty and funny including her singles.

I prefer her singles compare to shopaholic. No need to catch up on the series.
Undomesticated goddes + can you keep a secret is nice to read. |

I have read the shopaholic series but my personal Sophie Kinsella favourite is Undomestic Goddess.
Reading her books do de-stress me as they are simple and light-hearted |

I rate thise movie 9.5 out of 10..haha...coz i really hav a good laugh when i watched it... Because this movie , they combine the Confession of a Shopaholics + Shopaholic Takes Manhattan.. I really hope there is 2nd movie coming up...hehe i think Hugh Darcy (if not mistaken) as Luke Brandon is perfect for this movie   +1  Isla also portrays as Becky very well (except i did not like her fashion though....quite tacky.....i dunno because i imagine Becky in the book as a fashionista) but hor..the fashion worn by Isla is decided by the designers rite...hmm.... other characters are so wrong....Suze (she should be blond by the way)....Becky's parents casting too......anyway this is my personal opinion....i prefer reading the book btw... Honestly, the scarf written in the book is blue le...if i not mistaken....   but i still enjoy both (movie + book) haha...However i really have a good time watching this movie with my girlfriends....it is so hilarious Becky doing the tarian kipas with Luke lol..... definitely a chic movie and give this 3.5/5 +1  There will be a new book coming from Kinsella in 2009...i think it's a singles...Kinsella's single is indeed keep u wondering the ending of the story most of the time...haha... I wonder will there be another new shopaholics series after the Shopaholic and Baby....wonder what would be Kinsella's theme....really looking forward for it...

For some reason, the Becky in the movie is not as annoying as the Becky in the book -- though she was still annoying to me though. I still don't get why it's set in NY. And really, are there any American boys named Tarkie? Seriously? For the fun factor, watch out for the "tarian kipas scene", that scene alone is worth sitting through the whole movie. |

I'm a guy and I love reading her books. Weird, but true.
To me, I liked her writing style. Simple and easy to read. The books are written with wit and humor. My only complaint is that she usually kinda rushed her ending. She spents a lot of chapter building up the story, but towards the end she kinda like cramped it in a few chapters. |

I read all her books already and I think she's really funny and witty!
Her "Undomestic Goddess" is my favourite so far. However, I think most of her books feature heroines that are quite similar, don't you think? |
