She has entered UK bestseller lists in September 2000 with her first novel in the Shopaholic series - The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic (also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic). The book’s heroine, Becky Bloomwood – a fun and feisty financial journalist who loves shopping but is hopeless with money – captured the hearts of readers worldwide and she has since featured in five further adventures in Shopaholic Abroad (also published as Shopaholic Takes Manhattan), Shopaholic Ties the Knot, Shopaholic & Sister and Shopaholic & Baby.
Becky Bloomwood came to the big screen in 2009 with the hit Disney American romantic comedy movie Confessions of a Shopaholic. The film stars Isla Fisher (Scooby-Doo, Wedding Crashers, Definitely, Maybe) as the shopaholic journalist and Hugh Dancy (Ella Enchanted, Savage Grace) as her boss.
Sophie Kinsella has also written four standalone novels which have all been number one bestsellers: Can You Keep A Secret?, The Undomestic Goddess, Remember Me? and Twenties Girl.
She submitted her first ‘Sophie Kinsella’ novel anonymously to her existing publishers and it was snapped up without her editors knowing that she was already one of their authors. It wasn’t until the appropriately titled Can You Keep a Secret? was published that Sophie revealed her true identity for the first time.
Sophie Kinsella currently lives in London, UK, with her husband and family.
The High School LRC had just recently acquired Shopaholic & Baby (K625sb 2007), Twenties Girl (K625tg 2009), and The Undomestic Goddess (K625ug 2005) sometime during June - September this year.
