Christmas Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella
August 23, 2022 review: I swear, I do love Christmas romance books. No idea why. Probably all of those Hallmark movies or something. But this re-read was pretty dry and I just got through it quickly.

I used to come across it frequently in the late 1980s - 1990s. I haven't seen much of it recently and … [Read more]
