I have several books in queue and last night I decided to start Sophie Kinsella‘s Confessions of a Shopaholic. All I knew was Becky is a shopaholic, that’s all. After reading the back cover, I realized I made a gross mistake in my About page. I wanted to jump out of my bed to immediately make the necessary corrections (but it was already past midnight, I didn’t have that energy anymore).
Nooooooooooo!!! That isn’t me. No way!!! I’m sure that my site’s visitors had read it. I wrote that I’m working to be a renewed Becky Bloomwood. That statement is not applicable at all. First, I’m not comparable with Becky in terms of shopaholism. I shy away from very expensive and trendy boutiques. I’m quite practical when it comes to shopping, although, of course, I try to treat myself with branded stuff at times. Next , I never borrowed an amount to get myself one ever-desired item. Third, I never got any invitation letter from my bank to discuss an overdraft issue coz I never had such problem.
… Becky’s been chased by dismal letters from Visa and the Endwich Bank – letters with large red sums she can’t bear to read… And so on and so forth. That will never happen to me. I’ve never reached that point where I have uncontrollable spendings.
I hope I made myself understood for the change in that particular page. The list of differences is quite long… but I don’t need to discuss further.
As for Becky, I still believe her story will have a positive ending. Am I right?
