My Review of Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella

Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella is the long awaited sequel to the Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) series and I'm sooo excited to be reviewing this for you!

What They Say:

Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is in Hollywood! It's as if all her life has been leading to this moment. She's hanging out with the stars . or at least she will be, when she finally gets to meet movie superstar Sage Seymour, whom husband Luke is now managing.

There's so much to see and do! And getting Minnie through the hurdles for her A-list Hollywood pre-school will require some.er.help.

Becky sets her heart on a new career - she's going to be a celebrity stylist. Red carpet, here she comes! But Becky soon finds it's tough in Tinseltown. Luckily her best friend Suze comes over to keep her company, and together they embark on the Hollywood insider trail. But somehow...things aren't quite working out as they'd hoped.

Then Becky's big chance comes, and it's an opportunity that money can't buy. But will it cost her too much?

What I Say:

First off, SQUEEEEEE!! I got asked to review a Sophie Kinsella book! OMG! Blogger dream come true! I didn't even have to ask for it or anything!

Ok, fangirl moment over...

Right, so. This book sees Becky, Luke and little Minnie in Hollywood as Luke works with mega star, Sage Seymour and Becky tries to become a stylist to the stars. The whole old gang is here. Tarky, Suze, Mum and Dad, Minnie (who is SO cute!). It's been great to re-visit old friends.

This book is every bit as funny (laugh out loud funny!!) as the previous Shopaholic books. Sophie's writing cracks me up! Becky is just a legend, a cringey legend. There are moments when I actually felt myself blush for Becky! So funny.

Luke and Becky have their ups and downs, like any couple, but I think Luke is a saint, the way he puts up with Becky shenanigans sometimes. I don't think I've ever met a real man like that, I'm not even sure they exist but a girl can dream, can't she? It's also been great catching up with Minnie, who is now an adorable little girl who know her own mind and wants everyone to know it too. Tarquin and Suze's brood has grown up too and it's lovely to catch up with them too. They seem to have their hands full but take it all in their stride.

I really enjoyed Shopaholic to the Stars and think Sophie has done a great job carrying Becky and Luke's story on to the next level.

Like I said, it's been wonderful catching up with old friends and I think it has been perfect. I hope we will get to see them again. 9/10

Thanks to Majama Tutani at Transworld and Sophie Kinsella for my (gorgeous) ARC copy in exchange for my honest review.

Tishylou Is Making A Comeback!

Hi! Fancy seeing you here! Well, actually, fancy seeing ME here as I'm the one who has been AWOL. Life has been changing so much for me these past 3 years that my love of blogging got pushed aside. But I just celebrated my 49th birthday and felt compelled to revive my blog. I have still been reading and reviewing, but it's mainly been short posts on my social media pages, like Tiktok and Instagram. I really miss long form reviews and the personal posts I used to share with you. So, I'm going back to my roots. I plan on doing a Get To Know Me post soon for those of you who aren't familiar with me and my crazy life. That will be followed by bringing and expanding some of my Tiktok reviews on here. I have chosen 10 very special books for my first 2 weeks of posts, and I hope you'll feel how much I love them and what they mean to me. So, I'll leave you with this for now. To those who have always supported and encouraged me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ...

Blog Tour Stop and Review of All Wrapped Up by Heidi Swain

Hi friends! Long time no see! I have been so bad at blogging, and any book reviews I've done have been just on my social media pages. But it's tradition that when a new Heidi Swain book comes out, it HAS to appear on my blog! In fact, my last blog post was almost a year ago, for a Heidi book. If you know me at all, you know I love being in Heidi's books. They are so comforting, wholesome and hope filled. The locations are always idyllic and the characters always make me want to befriend them. All Wrapped Up is no exception. What They Say : In Wynbridge, the scent of autumn is on the breeze and love is in the air… Clemmie Bennett has been renovating beautiful Rowan Cottage on the outskirts of the small town of Wynbridge, for eighteen months following a very public heartbreak back in her childhood hometown. The popular Instagram influencer, lost her husband, sold their home, and has been cosied up the Fens and living a very private life, but now she feels it’s time for ...
