Bridget Jones's Baby: The Diaries | 
pickFourth and final book in the Bridget Jones series although this is far better placed as book three as it throws the timeline out to read this one last.
I really enjoyed this, it's very visual and I could see the film in my mind. I laughed a lot, the humor really came through on the page.
Am glad to have finished this series off.
Four stars.

@TheSpineView Thank you for the tag!🌺
1. I didn't set any goals this year, not sure if that was a good idea yet or not.
2. I really need to read my physical books.😊
pickI am a massive Rom-Com fan. About a third of my DVD collection is Rom-Coms. After seeing Bridget Jones' baby a while ago I really wanted to read the book. It was so weird to read about Daniel Clever being a contender for the dad. I definitely enjoyed the difference in the movie. Give me Jack over Clever any day.
pickAbsolutely hilarious!! Read it in a couple of hours
pickWhat's not to like - it's Bridget Jones, you laugh, you cry, you get exasperated, but overall you enjoy yourself 😊
Some fluff to get through the holiday rush 😄
My next read for December. Bridget Jones is my absolute favorite holiday watch and I though I should read the only book in the series I haven't yet... Hence, Bridget Jones' Baby...
pickSuch a fun read, I just wished it were longer! Hilarious and yet went pretty deep towards the end. And of course the perfect ending to the books/movies. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
If I could read Slovak, I could download a free copy of this book at the bus station in Bratislava. 🤓
pickOm det sämsta man kan säga om en bok är att den är för tunn är det ju en bra bok, men jag skulle vilja att den var tre gånger så tjock. Bridget är ju ändå Bridget.
Fictional birthdays can still be celebrated right?? I hear a cupcake calling my name. Cheers Bridget!
pickVery good. Enjoyed it from start to finish. If you have read the other books then this is for you as it is in tone and style just like the others and I got so lost in the story that it only took me an afternoon to finish it. Highly recommend.
'In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.' --- So many books, but a limited budget. 😩
Taking a short break after getting in quite a bit of reading

Read: Bridget Jones's Baby (First book of the year)
Brain cells burned: approx. 20,678
Verdict: V. v. bad.
Seems like Fielding phoned this one in. Jokes are stale, writing is uninspired. Crucially, Bridget is missing. Her trademark witty, self-deprecating, relatable voice is AWOL.
Think I could tip my head over and the sugar-water remains of my brain would spill out.
As a did-hard Bridget Jones fan, I am greatly disappointed.
pickRather different to the movie (There is no McDreamy rather Daniel Cleaver up to his old tricks) but still quite similar - this was a fun, short read which made me laugh, loudly several times. Not sure where this fits chronologically (I chose not to read Mad About The Boy) but if you enjoyed the first two diaries, just as they are, this one should suit you just fine.
panI wanted to like this. I normally adore Bridget and her mischief, but going in I was a little hesitant because of the movie-before-the-book-thing. For me, this just doesn't live up to the normally high standards of Bridget. It felt rushed, lacked the diary feel, and the whole love story felt so unoriginal and didn't give me any feels (except negative ones).
Finally my exam is done! Now my Christmas vacation begins and that means a lot of uninterupted reading time. ❤ but first - a nap!

so-soThis wasn't nearly as good as the original, and it took me a bit to get into. But I did enjoy visiting these characters again. I give it 3 stars...maybe 3.5!
panI went in with incredibly low expectations and this marginally exceeded them but barely. There's some humour but the plot is thin with little to round it out.
pickI could not stop laughing out loud all the way through, great classic Bridget humor from all the characters all the way through!
I love it already, 18 pages in and I love it!
pickI give up. You win, Fielding, you win.
I did not want to read this. I was certain I was going to gate it, falling as it did between The Edge of Reason and Mad about the Boy. Particularly as it was going to show a distinct break in Bridget and Mark's relationship. BUT. I read it in a couple if hours. If these books do nothing else, they show you how to not take yourself so seriously and to find humour in even the most messed up of situations.
Obviously I am always excited about Bridget Jones--but I think our UK audiobook narrator sounds a bit too old for the title.
