5/30/2023 0 Comments Confessions of a shopaholic seriesI learned a long time ago that the best kind of humor is the self-deprecating kind. How many books have you read that can elicit that facial response? Not that I looked at the mirror while I read, but I just noticed. I’d many LOL moments, and several times I caught myself reading with a smile on my face. (To my copy-writer friend: Nothing personal, it’s just the genre.) The book Confessions of a Shopaholic is like a commercial break: it gives you a chance to relax in between tense moments, a filler, but unlike most commercials, it’s entertaining, very funny, and not as dismissible as it looks. Ok, after reading Thomas Hardy, Jhumpa Lahiri, Philip Roth, not to mention the very hard-to-get-through Amy Bloom, all in a month’s time, I needed a break. (Didn’t he know it was for his CD that I had to make this purchase in the first place?) ‘It’s just a filler to make up the amount for free shipping,’ I said. ‘Are you serious?’ my son exclaimed as he pried open my Amazon package.
