"Becky's life is blooming! She's working at London's newest big store, The Look, house-hunting with husband Luke (her secret wish is a Shoe Room)...and she's pregnant! She couldn't be more overjoyed - especially since discovering that shopping cures morning sickness. Everything has got to be perfect for her baby: from the designer nursery...to the latest, coolest pram...to the celebrity, must-have obstetrician. But when the celebrity obstetrician turns out to be Luke's glamorous, intellectual ex-girlfriend, Becky's perfect world starts to crumble. She's shopping for two...but are there three in her marriage?" - taken from the back cover of Shopaholic & Baby.I absolutely love the author Sophie Kinsella and the Shopaholic series. I have been reading these books for years and after the first one, Confessions of a Shopaholic, they do tend to be repetitive and pretty predictable, but they are still very fun books to read. In Shopaholic & Baby Rebecca Bloomwood Brandon is back and just as adorable as ever. She is the shopaholic that we have grown to love and this time she is having a baby! All the familiar characters return, Suze - the best friend, Luke - her handsome, charming husband, mum and dad, sister Jess, Tom and Janice. Becky's adventures are endless, starting with her first sonogram and ending with a delightful, laugh out loud delivery. The struggles Becky faces are just as endless and range from a sexy obstetrician that is one of Luke's ex-girlfriends who is trying to steal him away, saving a business that is about to go under, finding the perfect house and most importantly, FINDING THE PERFECT PRAM! So grab a cup of tea and head out on this new adventure with your favorite shopper. You won't be disappointed!

Now, not everyone here has the same respect for the Potato Ole's, cheese dip, Pizza burger and Mexi Rolls that I do, mainly people that are from Texas and just don't understand the concept of Mexican fast food. However, all my Murray, Kentucky peeps who grew up with that six pack and a pound know where I'm coming from when I say Taco John's is on my "have to eat at list" every year when we travel back home. And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...
