Shopaholic, Me & Dexter!

Theres not much to do these days at work, as it looks like I completed my work for the August Release in July itself!! Shocking, but true! Anyway, I've been reading the Shopaholic series, and am on the third book now.

The second book Shopaholic Abroad, was a bit like a filler book or something, with quite a simple plot actually. Becky moves to the US with Luke and shops (obviously!) and gets into debt over there. Towards the end however, all her issues get resolved and she starts a new job as a personal shopper. How I wish real life had simple solutions like that! *sigh*

The third book is Shopaholic Ties The Knot.

In this book, Luke proposes and the wedding is all set to take place at Becky's parent's home in UK. However, Luke's manipulative Mom lures Becky into having a wedding at the Plaza Hotel in New York, which Becky just cannot refuse once she sees the place. And if I'm being honest, neither would I, look at the place, its beautiful:

Becky doesn't have the heart to tell her Mom that she want the great big NY wedding, so things spiral out of control with the wedding being planned for the same day but at two different locations. To give her credit she does try telling the NY wedding planner to call off the wedding, but is forced to go through with it once she finds out she signed an agreement according to which cancellation would cause her to pay the wedding planner $100000!
It really is kind of stupid the way time and again she buries her head in the sand and just lets things snowball into avalanches of sorts!

But I cannot afford to be judgmental, I'm sort of doing the same thing!

 

And then there's Dexter! I really love the series and am at the end of the 7th season, which honestly seems like a big mess. Everything's going wrong. There is no single serial killer being hunted by Dexter as in the previous seasons, instead there's are a bunch of killers thrown around! Also, Deb is attracted to Dex (weird!!) and she finds out the truth about Dexter, who in turn is attracted to a fellow serial killer he almost kills. LaGuerta discovers the real Bay Harbour Butcher, and the Ukrainian mafia get involved. As I said, big mess! Loved the new characters of Issac Sirko:

And Hannah McKay!
