  2. Well, I couldn't help it, LOL, I'm on page 225. I just can't put the book down,lol I don't know why I never read this one. I read the first one, then the one she got married, and then the one she was pregnant, but not this one. They're all the same humor, but with a different "story" to her life. Really funny. I hope ur enjoying it too.

  3. LOL, you are impossible but then again gotta love your enthusiasm :D
    I havent´t read more than the first chapter so far but don´t worry. I will get there. In any case I might recognize myself in her place if she is writing a book too. Some good therapy LOL!!!!

  5. Well today I read the first 3 chapters. Had a busy day but at least got a little further. The character reminds me a little about Bridget Jones LOL!!

  6. Now at chapter 8. Omg this woman reminds me of me now, well Becky has character. Can´t stop laughing over her ways to describe she needs things and then she is like, oh stop it. I love the way this book is written. Will be exciting to see what happens in the States LOL!!

  7. I read a bit at work from my iphone when I had breaks, so I'm quite far in the book. In fact, I only have about 50 pages left to read. I really do read fast,lol has to do with the training I had when I had my 2 years pre-medical and then nursing training. Had SO much to read, so I kind of developed a talent for fast reading,lol I kind of feel guilty for reading so fast,lol But the book IS funny all the way through, although towards the end, it is sad. You'll see.

  8. You are a fast reader. I wish I had more time to read but with a little one the time is even more restricted and also today I fell asleep while reading. You know I go crazy without my naps, LOL!!! Well almost at chapter 10 soon so it´s getting exciting.

  9. I finished it last night in bed. This is a book that's meant to entertain more then anything, so it's not something that has a lot to discuss, other then some of us can identify with Becky. She does go overboard a lot in her shopping, and u can see she's completely addicted to it, which is something many women today can identify. I can understand her , but I'm not really like that,lol But I know women who are like her,lol My sister being one of them, although she has calmed down quite a bit.
    Anyway, it's a funny book, and it does have a story to it, such as her relationship to Luke and her search for what she wants to do in her life. I've already read her subsequent books, so I know how it all turns out. Her latest one is about her 3 year old daughter, Minnie, which I have but haven't read yet.

    It kind of made me think of something in regards to YOUR book, you can write a "fiction" book about ur life and put it in a light and funny way such as this one. Writing about one's experiences in life doesn't have to be serious . I'm only giving suggestions coz I know u don't know what to do with ur book. Something for u to think about.

  10. Well I have less than half the book left so I hope to finish it soon too. It´s comic and makes me laugh and as you mentioned one can recognize oneself in Becky. Just like you I´m not a shopper either so her troubles with buying makes me just amazed but I know lots of people that are like this. I guess it´s quite normal these days; shopaholic.

    About the idea for the book this could be an idea. I have had my funny moments so either I make it like this or then something like Twilight. We´ll see, we´ll see. I just hope I don´t end up like Becky writing one phrase LOOOOOL!Omg I laughed so hard in that chapter.

  11. I know, it's hilarious how she only puts down a half complete sentence in her book,lol and then starts looking for chairs and equipment online,lol I do that. When I have something I need to do but I'm not really into it, I'll get carried away with other things, LOL I don't shop though, but I'll do other things and justify them,lol
