In My Mailbox (1)

I'm still working my way through a pile of books I got for Christmas, so most of the ones I picked up from the library this week are for recapping over at They Let Us Read This As Children?


Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
by Helen Fielding

A new year begins - and Bridget Jones, the globally bestselling unflinchingly self-disciplined, and definitely practically nonsmoking heroine is about to discover what happens when you have the man of your dreams actually in your flat and he hasn't been to the supermarket - not just tonight, but ever.

Lurching from the cappuccino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, searching for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, Smug Married advice ("I'm just calling to say in the potty! In the potty! Well, do it in Daddy's hand, then!"), Bridget experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of How to Find the Love You Want Without Seeking It (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay.

I read the first book a few years back and never got around to reading it's sequel. I've heard good things about this so I figured it was time I checked it out.

Besides I needed something more adult to check out along with the following (to be recapped and snarked, with love of course, later this week):
