Cover Reveal: Mad About the Boy

Earlier this year it was rumored that Ms. Fielding is writing a follow-up to her successful Bridget Jones series, and in late May the title for the third book has been revealed. Now, with anticipation growing as publication date is fast approaching, we finally get to see an official book cover, which I am more than happy to share with you here. So, what do you guys think? Are you excited for the new adventures of our favorite singleton, navigating the complex world of social media, and perhaps motherhood?  

Mad About the Boy (Bridget Jones #3)
Helen Fielding

Release Date: October 15, 2013

Book Description:
When Helen Fielding first wrote Bridget Jones’ Diary, charting the life of a 30-something singleton in London in the 1990s, she introduced readers to one of the most beloved characters in modern literature. The book was published in 40 countries, sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and spawned a best-selling sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. The two books were turned into major blockbuster films starring Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

With her hotly anticipated third installment, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Fielding introduces us to a whole new enticing phase of Bridget’s life set in contemporary London, including the challenges of maintaining sex appeal as the years roll by and the nightmare of drunken texting,  the skinny jean, the disastrous e-mail cc, total lack of twitter followers, and TVs that need 90 buttons and three remotes to simply turn on.

An uproariously funny novel of modern life, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is a triumphant return of our favorite Everywoman.

11.27 p.m. Just presss d SEND. Iss fineisn’t it?



You see, this is the trouble with the modern world. If it was the days of letter-writing, I would never even have started to find his address, a pen, a piece of paper, an envelope, a stamp, and gone outside at 11.30p.m. to find a postbox. A text is gone at the brush of a fingertip, like a nuclear bomb or exocet missile.

DATING RULE NO:1

DO NOT TEXT WHEN DRUNK
