Sophie Kinsella is one of my favorite authors ever. I have read the complete Shopaholic series many times. So I was so excited when I got to read this one ahead of time for review!!!

Becky Bloomwood has a shopping problem and while it still hasn't gotten better, it is manageable. What I love about this book is that the characters stay the same and they are all so supportive of Becky, no matter what shenanigans she finds herself in. This time she is living in a village and working at her best friend Suze's castle gift shop. Her parents are moving temporarily to a smaller, trendy place leaving Becky to try to shop for a huge Christmas party to please everyone. There is also some other exciting storylines which I will not give away.

These are so enjoyable, and so much better than the movie (although I wish they would redo it and make more). Do yourself a favor and buy the whole series, like now.

I received this book in exchange for review.

Oh Becky Brandon neé Bloomwood, it is nice to see you again. I think our break was necessary for a bit and now we can embrace our dear friend and see how you have grown and matured. Your heart is just as big as it ever was and we love you for it.

Another fun book from Sophie Kinsella. Reading Becky's adventures is like sitting down and wrapping yourself in a well loved and slightly worn blanket. I think at this point in my life I prefer Ms Kinsella's stand alone novels a bit more, but I love everything she writes!

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. When is there a better time to read a holiday story than on the last weekend of summer? To be honest I broke up with this series several books ago but was able to get quickly caught up on my once beloved Becky. This story still follows the same formula as previous Shopaholic novels so nothing was shocking or unexpected.

Cherished. I don’t even have words to express how much I loved this book. Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is back. And better than ever! Another fun tale of Becky’s adventures, this time during the holiday season. When Becky is asked to host Christmas, life goes a bit haywire and in true Becky fashion, she saves the day in the weirdest and most wonderful way. All the characters we love are back, including another very lovable character and a character I really hated. Sophie Kinsella has really outdone herself and even though it has been years since the last Shopaholic book, it felt like no time had passed at all. The book made me so happy inside and I couldn’t put it down.

First, I must say that I'm a long time fan of the author- Sophie Kinsella. I've read several books from the "Shopaholic" series (though I prefer her books outside of this series). I honestly do not remember main character Becky being this much of a mess in the earlier books, though. Was she? Because about 20% of the way into this book I thought with alarm- This woman is like the grown-up's version of Amelia Bedelia... It's just impossible to believe that this woman could mess up SO MANY tasks. And buy so many useless and un-necessary items!

The character of Becky has a lot of redeeming qualities. She's loving, generous, and kind, and the last dozen pages or so of this book are very heart-warming... all leading to a perfect ending. Truth be told, though, if I had been reading this book solely for my own enjoyment I probably would never have made it to the ending. I would have stopped reading around the 30% mark. It was just too over the top for me.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. My thanks to #NetGalley, the author and the publisher for this opportunity. #ChristmasShopaholic

So much fun! If you have readers who are hooked on Hallmark Christmas movies, this is the perfect book to recommend. Fans of the Shopaholic series will love this, because it is one of the better books in the lineup. Newcomers to Shopaholic won't be hampered by not having read previous titles -- it truly stands alone.

The most enjoyable book so far, in this series! I loved returning to this character and storyline after a break! These books are so fun!

I will definitely be recommending "Christmas Shopaholic" to my friends this Christmas (and will probably gift a few copies to people too). It is a fun, energetic Christmas story will all the right elements of the seasonal shopping fiasco! Every family experiences similar holiday challenges of what gifts to get, how to decorate, a menu that will please everyone and Becky goes through all of that and more. It is definitely all about Becky and includes her usual unrestrained spending habits only elevated to match the Christmas shopping frenzy and Becky's desire to try to please everyone. There are food planning disasters, family fighting and Christmas concert mishaps.

My two biggest critiques about the novel would be the setting and the predictability. When I think about the story, nothing about the setting jumps out at me or was particularly memorable, it seemed to fall short of the normal holiday ambiance one might expect in a Christmas novel. In addition, the events in the novel are predictable and maybe too much so for my taste. I like the silly, OMG moments Becky has, I am just not sure they need to be as predictable and foreshadowed as much as they are because it takes away from some of the humour.

However, despite my criticisms, I still would highly recommend "Christmas Shopaholic" to my friends this Christmas. It is festive and witty novel that brings a joyfulness to the crazy shopping season we all experience.

I also want to thank NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for a chance to read and review this book!

After a few lackluster entries into the Shopaholic series, Kinsella is back on form with a genuinely delightful read. This was exactly the kind of comfort food I needed. Rebecca Brandon, nee Bloomwoood, is the same flighty but kind hearted heroine from before but she does seem to have made some bit of growth at least. She's a good person, a great parent, and seems to be finding her own way even if she's a bit too concerned with what other people think and as such makes weird spending decisions in effort to keep up with the Joneses. Though there are times where you just can't relate to the characters who are mainly unimaginably affluent and times when the story just didn't make any kind of sense (i.e. the hamster store scene) this book is like being wrapped in a warm blanket and given a fun escape from your daily life.

I always love a good Shopaholic book, and Kinsella's latest lived up to my expectations. It's laugh-out-loud funny, touching and since I'm also an avid on-line shopper, so relatable.

Thank you, Sophie Kinsella, for another entertaining read! Thank you NetGalley and publisher.

Oh how I’ve missed Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood)! I’ve been reading this series since the beginning, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would definitely recommend this to friends. The story was so funny that I found myself laughing out loud at parts. I will definitely be reading this one again. I already can’t wait for the return of Becky.

I have read all of the Shopaholic books and love the format where you get additional glimpses of details through correspondence. This one was one of the favorites that I have read in a while. The story was perfect for Christmas time and reminded me how great of a character Becky is.

Oh Hallmark fans!! You will love this book! Christmas is the perfect setting for Kinsella to bring back Becky. Christmas Shopaholic can stand on it’s own as well. So if you haven’t read any of the previous titles in the series and simply want a festive read, this is it!

Ah, Sophie Kinsella with a brand new Shopaholic! This cute story follows our favorite shopaholic through the holidays - the time of year when shopping is a complete necessity! Giggle along as she finds the most hilarious ways to find the perfect gift and to justify a purchase here and there that was such a great deal for herself - even if it doesn’t exactly fit at the moment.

This book was so charming. Some of the Shopaholic books, especially the early ones, were hard for me to read because they were so deeply stressful, but I really enjoy how Becky has evolved as a person over the course of the series without losing her quirkiness. This book was fun and humorous and cozy and relatable without being too over the top. It’s not necessarily book club material with a ton of deep literary themes to discuss for hours, but I really enjoyed how Kinsella writes lighthearted novels that still have complex, relatable characters and realistic relationships. This is a lovely Christmas book.

No one makes me laugh like Becky. She is a loveable person, a little ditzy, but her heart is pure. Reading Christmas Shopaholic was pure entertainment. Beginning with the pantsuit malfunction to the hamster dive on Christmas Eve, every chapter is full of Becky scrapes. She finds herself hosting the family festivities, stressing over the the right menu and themes and misunderstandings galore. A truly uplifting story to read because the ending was perfect, highlighting the reason of the season is family togetherness. I can't wait for Becky's next adventure.

Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) is back and better than ever! The series lost me somewhere in the middle, but Christmas Shopaholic has made me fall in love with Shopaholic all over again. Becky and Luke are as solid and endearing as ever. I feel like Kinsella has gotten her groove back with this novel. Some people may find Becky annoying, but I think she's hilarious and adorable in this one. I was so hooked into Becky's life from the first page that I ended up reading it in one sitting. I sincerely hope that Kinsella decides to continue the series. Christmas Shopaholic is a feel-good, must-read for the holiday season!

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC of this book.

I’ve been a fan of the Shopaholic series since I picked the first one up years ago, and Ms. Kinsella doesn’t disappoint with the latest installment.

“Christmas Shopaholic” finds Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) the hostess of her family’s traditional Christmas Day celebration. In typical shopaholic fashion, Becky’s plans go way overboard quickly, as she tries to incorporate everyone’s requests as well as the latest trends. Throw in an old boyfriend turned famous rocker who moves to Becky’s sleepy village, her parents move to a hipster part of London, school plays, and other misadventures, and you have yourself another fun chapter in the shopaholic series.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me read this fabulous ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't realize how much I missed Becky until I started reading this latest book in the series. It was true to the first few books of the Shopaholic series. I enjoyed the book. It was like revisiting family you have not seen in a while and just pick up where you left off.

Another great installment in the Becky Bloomwood Shopaholic series! Heartwarming and an excellent read.
