Yesterday, I was browsing through the news, and on the top of the page, one of the headlines read that Sophie Kinsella, one of my favorite authors, died at age 55. Even though I knew about her cancer diagnosis from reading about her social media posts, it was still shocking. Death is just one of those things that is really hard to process, even if you know that the person was dealing with a terminal or serious illness and didn’t have much time left in this world. Sophie Kinsella was one of my favorite authors. She wrote this book called Confessions of a Shopaholic, which is about this young woman in England named Rebecca “Becky” Bloomwood who has a compulsive addiction to shopping. I have read all of the books in the Shopaholic series except for Christmas Shopaholic, which I checked out from the library weeks ago but haven’t even started yet. I am glad that I still have renewals on it because this holiday season, I really could use a big old hug from my fictional friend, Becky Bloomwood. Rest in Peace, Sophie, and thank you for all of the literature and laughs.
