Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries by Helen Fielding
Narrator: Morwenna Banks
Date Read: March 2017
Genre: Chick-Lit, General Fiction
More Information:Bridget Jones, beloved Singleton and global phenomenon, is back with a bump in Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries.
8:45 P.M. Realize there have been so many times in my life when have fantasized about going to a scan with Mark or Daniel: just not both at the same time. Before motherhood, before marriage, Bridget with biological clock ticking very, very loudly, finds herself unexpectedly pregnant at the eleventh hour: a joyful pregnancy which is dominated, however, by a crucial but terribly awkward question - who is the father? Mark Darcy: honourable, decent, notable human rights lawyer? Or Daniel Cleaver: charming, witty, notable fuckwit?
9:45 PM It's like they're two halves of the perfect man, who'll spend the rest of their lives each wanting to outdo the other one. And now it's all enacting itself in my stomach. In this gloriously funny, touching story of baby-deadline panic, maternal bliss, and social, professional, technological, culinary and childbirth chaos, Bridget Jones - global phenomenon and the world's favorite Singleton - is back with a bump.

I think I’ve only read the first book, it came out in the height of my ChickLit phase, but I would kind of like to do a Bridget Jones readathon…. 😉
I haven’t read all of them but this one was fun 🙂
I remember putting this series on my WTR list back when the first two movies came out. But I never did read them then in my physical book reading only days. I’d already seen the movies and sometimes that ends up being enough for me. It’s great to hear this one was a funny winner for you. =)
They are very similar to the movies. I think the only difference in this one is that Daniel is actually the other guy but I think in the movie they went another way.
I saw the movie instead
I saw the employee screening of the movie and then saw it again at a promo screening with a buddy who wanted to see it, too. It was funny both times. =)
I am going to rent the movie. I heard it was super cute 🙂
It was pretty irresistibly cute. Let us know your rating of the movie please. =)
Love Bridget! I’m definitely adding this to my tbr pile!! 🙂
It was fun–Daniel, Bridget (and all her crew), and of course Darcy were back 🙂
Enjoyed the movies but not tried the books and I am curious. 🙂
The books are pretty close to the movies. This one is slightly different!
