Yippeee....I met Sophie Kinsella and it was so much fun!! She spoke, read, answered questions and also signed the books! Anyway considering that she's the queen of chick-lit, it wasn't much a surprise though that the place was filled with only women...there were a few men but mostly accompanying their partners as photographers I think! It was so exciting to see all these women with soo much of a passion for all of Sophie's books!
What I really liked about Sophie though was her sense of humour and humility. She was really like the next door neighbour....except that she wrote really popular best selling books! But she patiently spoke to everyone, signed the book and even posed for pics! My take away from the evening was that she said, "You should write what you as a reader will want to read, without trying to guess what the readers will want to read"...food for thought..
And I wasn't so celebrity struck today and managed to speak to her, take a pic and get my book signed...so a good sign and an evening very well spent..
The interesting thing is that "Undomestic Goddess" and "Can you keep a secret" could be made into movies soon...people are already working on it! Wow..would love to guess who'll be cast as Jack Harper!
As of now.....looking forward to reading the Mini Shopaholic...!!!
