YAY OR NAY WEDNESDAY
This week's Yay or Nay features a book that I myself can not make my mind up about. The book in question in Sophie Kinsella's 'Shopaholic and Sister'. This is the fourth book about the irrepresible Becky, not content with having been a tv money guru, jetted across the world to live in New York, and organised the flashiest wedding seen in a long time she now discovers that she has a long lost sister. This book chronicles their meeting and discovering how different blood can be.
So did you enjoy it? Was it a welcome return to Becky's life or was it a step too far? Just tell us Yay or Nay, and Why?
Don't forget to check out our other Yay or Nays at Shoewawa, The Bag Lady, CatwalkQueen and Bridalwave.

Yay--with the exception that this simply does not measure up to the previous Shopaholic books. It's still cute, cuddly and such, but lacks the fun frenzy that we've come to love from this series.

I really enjoyed the fourth installment of the shopaholic series. I think that Sophie Kinsella stayed true to her characters and really allowed Becky to grow. I cannot wait for the next book!

Yay. It wasn't as good as the first two, but since I gave Jemima J a yay I can hardly trash this! It's still head and shoulders above a lot of rivals even if it's not up to Kinsella's usual standards.

Yay - I do think that dredging up long lost siblings is a bit lame but I do love the Shopholic series.

Yay for me too. Although I find the farcical aspects of Kinsella's books deeply irritating - I'm always shouting at Becky as I read! - her writing is funny enough and her characters charming enough to keep me reading.

I loved it, i dont think any books with Rebecca Bloomwood involved could be boring, she`s such a well typical women, she does and says exactly what the rest of us women are thinking, Sophie Kinsella has her character spot on... i sometimes forget she isnt actually real. Its a YAY for me.. kinsella really know her stuff!

Yay-I love all the books from the Shopaholic series, this was my least favourite, but it'd still get 5 stars because 4 is way too low. If the other editions in the series hadn't existed-It'd be my favourite book ever.
Sophie Kinsella is a genius ;D
