If you enjoyed the Confessions of a Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella like I did, you’ll be glad to know there is news regarding the series: She has a new book coming out called Mini Shopaholic. It’s all about the new adventures of our heroine Rebecca Brandon (formerly Bloomwood) and her 2-year-old daughter, Minnie. It is due out on shelves on September 2 (UK) and September 21 (US).
I’m not sure what to think, but I saw something else on that site: A possible movie on the second book called Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (US) or Shopaholic Abroad (UK and elsewhere). When you click on the link for these books, it says “film tie-in edition” and there is even a cover which has Isla Fisher getting into a taxi. I checked IMDB.com, and I didn’t see that anything was in production or in post-production, which is thoroughly confusing! Believe me, I will keep hunting to see if I can dig up anything. Stay tuned!
