Bridget Jones's Diary (Revised) | Helen Fielding

Catching up with #FierceFeb! My favourite #bachelorette is Bridget Jones, who always makes me laugh ❤️ but seriously, the first two books with single Bridget are the best. Dob‘t even get me started on Bridget Jones‘ baby 🙄🙄

Cinfhen, batsy

julesG Does she also make you cringe and feel ashamed/embarrassed for her? I should read the third - one day. 6y

batsy I haven't read the books but I love her in the movies... The first one especially was just perfect 😊 6y

Cinfhen Ahhhh, I missed #bachelorette 🤪😉😍 6y

readordierachel Love that. She's new to me. Thanks for the introduction :) 6y

vivastory @ReadOrDieRachel Glad you like it. She reminds me of Dorothy Parker, but with a little more going on. Plath was a big fan. 6y

batsy Interesting choice; well done! She's new to me too and I love the sound of this 💙 6y

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine | Gail Honeyman

#Bachelorette #FierceFeb Eleanor is definitely my favourite bachelorette ❤️

Cinfhen, batsy

LeahBergen 😍😍 6y

Sarah83 Love this figure 😊 6y

Cathythoughts Love Eleanor ❤️. They have made a movie! We were saying at my bookclub that Sally Hawkins would make a great Eleanor ( I wonder who will play the part !!) (edited) 6y

DeborahSmall @Cathythoughts because it‘s set in Glasgow I‘m picturing Kelly McDonald as she does ‘severe‘ really good. But it was type of story that could be in any city. Sally Hawkins is fabulous ❤️ 6y

bedandabook I didn‘t know they were making a film, @Cathythoughts! Kelly McDonald is exactly as I imagined Eleanor when I was listening to it, @DeborahSmall. Good pick! 6y

Cathythoughts @bedandabook I didn‘t either, but that‘s what the women were saying at our Bookclub, I hope it‘s true. Would be interesting 👍🏻 6y

batsy I need to read this already, it sounds really good. And I'm all the more intrigued because you picked her as your favourite! I love the figurine, too 💜 6y

DeborahSmall @bedandabook was narrator Scottish? 💕 6y

DeborahSmall @batsy it‘s a brilliant read. An unforgettable character. I think this was my first ‘willow tree‘ figure, have quite a few now but this is my favourite ❤️ 6y

ApoptyGina69 Looking forward to this one. It‘s right here on one of my shelves. Different cover though. I like yours! 6y

DeborahSmall @ApoptyGina69 my first cover was the plain white one then when this was half price and signed, so I had to buy it. I‘ve bought my mum and sister a copy and they both loved it! 6y

Cinfhen This one is here in Florida waiting for me...quite excited to read😍 6y

DeborahSmall @Cinfhen enjoy! 😘 6y

bedandabook Yes, @DeborahSmall, she was. She did a really great job as well. Thoroughly enjoyable. 6y

DeborahSmall @bedandabook I usually never do audio but this could be a first. I‘m sure the humour came across brilliantly 6y

Absalom! Absalom! | William Faulkner

I found this rather unusual drawing of Rosa Coldfield to go with today's #bachelorette prompt for #Fiercefeb
Atrocious drawings aside... Rosa Coldfield is a great example of the post civil war Southern woman whose sense of reality is irreparably shattered.
If you haven't already read Absalom Absalom please, please do. It's absolutely worth it.
@Cinfhen @batsy

batsy I haven't read it, and now I will! 👍🏽 That drawing is pretty amazing. 6y

PagesOfKate Ah, I'm so glad someone is going to give it a go, sooo worth it @batsy I feel a little bad for hating on the drawing. I have no artistic skills myself, strictly a stick man creator! 6y

batsy I dabble in the realm of stick figures, as well 😆 I just find this so vivid, like she's about to come out of the page. Also a little bit unnerving, in that sense! I've been wanting to read Faulkner for so long and your enthusiasm for this has convinced me to start with it. 6y

Cinfhen Ha! I agree, she looks menacing and this is one of those classics I‘ve always been afraid to tackle...you go first @batsy 😉 6y

PagesOfKate Probably one of the many people who are afraid of dying from boredom but I promise you it's a great story! @Cinfhen 6y

Centique I just heard about this book on a podcast yesterday - synchronicity! I loved Sound and Fury many years ago so I must try this. 6y
