I LOVE the shopaholic books!!!! I haven't read the latest one yet though!

I also really loved "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" from Gregory Maguire. It is basically the Cinderella story told with a dark twist. It was AWESOME!!! I've heard Maguires' "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" was also VERY good, but I haven't been able to get my paws on a copy yet (I'm really picky about books.. gotta have the first editions in hardcover.. hehehe). He also has out "Lost" which I believe is the tale of Hansel and Gretel, "Mirror, Mirror" (obviously a version of Snow White), and I think there is another one? I can't remember.

I REALLY loved the Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister though!!!! So I definitely plan on getting his other books.

If you're into girly-type books, I would recommend "Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber"... it was HILARIOUS!

Also another book I would highly recommend is "e" by Matt Beaumont. It is basically the tale of a company told thru inter-office memos. The entire book is in the form of emails, and it is so funny you will seriously laugh out loud.

I can't think of other books I have that I would highly recommend... I have like a library of fiction books...so I will have to go thru those and get back to ya'll on more that I'd recommend.

(Note: if you read as much as I do, Half Priced Books is your friend!!! also half.com to get good books cheap! or you could go to the library I guess )
