Bridget Jones's Diary

RABCK to elle311 for my 3000 books released drawing.
Found this treasure in the mailbox today! Started reading it as we speak. Very impressed with the bookcrossing labeling...you just can't miss it! Thanks DrSlump612 ;)
Liked the book way better than the movie...although I kept picturing Renee Zellweger in the scenes (especially the famous firepole one). Also thought it was funny the author mentioned Hugh Grant and Colin Firth who then went on to star in the movie. Perhaps the author was hinting at who she wanted in case the book was ever made into a movie?
Have to pass this on because of the great labeling done by DrSlump612...

RABCK for JennyC1230.
Wow! Thank you very much elle! I received two books for the price of one! (ha ha ha) What a nice surprise! Thank you very much! :-)
I'm reading this now and will offer as a Bookray so more people can read this book!
:-)
Jan. 12: I finished this book last night. It was great! I adore the Bridget Jones movies and reading the book is different, just a different feeling I guess. Both are great! It reminds me of this book I read last year The Little Lady Agency by: Hester Browne I turned that into a Bookray so if you like Bridget Jones then you might like to read that book also!
Thanks elle311 for the RABCK!

Arrived here today! I'll start reading it as soon as possible!
Journal Entry 11 by marsala from - Ergens in de provincie, Noord-Brabant Netherlands on Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Absolutely brilliant!
I've read this book in dutch a couple of years ago and I liked it, but wasn't as exciting about it as everyone else.
I decided to give the book another go and I'm glad I did. I've lived in London for a year, so some things I could picture more clearly and I had a better understanding to the references to other books or tv-shows.
It had me laughing out loud quite a few times. Some things just sounded too familiar (programming the vcr or hosting a dinner party anyone?)
Thanks Jenny for sharing this book!

Received in the mail Thursday. I have a book in front of it but I'll get to it ASAP.
I enjoyed this book, I had heard a lot of good things about the books and the movies but I hadn't got the chance to read one before now. Thanks!
Now, I guess I'll have to go rent the movie too. :)
I have katintheboots's address and I will mail it off tomorrow.

Thanks!
I found this in my mailbox last night. I've got one bookring ahead of it, so I'll read it after that.
I finished this in one go yesterday. I can't stand most things involving Renee Zellweger and so avoided the movie and book like the plague until a friend informed me that it's a take-off of Pride and Prejudice. Being a P&P fan of long-standing, I signed up for this. The book arrived fortuitously, as I'd recently had surgery, during which recovery period I watched the BBC/A&E Firth & Ehle version I don't know how many times (I was confined to a recliner for a week - a five hour mini didn't even begin to get me through a day). And, to my own surprise, I really enjoyed this. Enough so that I may even have to go rent the movie just to see Colin Firth in the last couple scenes.
I already have mysticalzoe's address, so I'll get this in the mail after the first of the month.

Sent to mysticalzoe this afternoon via media mail.
This book arrived yesterday, i would have said I had gotten it but my internet has been out of service for 4 days, now I am back online! Will read the book asap.

I hate to say this but I really don't have time to read this particular book, I think I will rent it from the library another time and read it. I am sorry about this but I am very busy, and feel swamped. I will contact liz-zand send it onto her.

Received in the mail today, looking forward to this one! I've got two in front of it but I should get to it soon! Thank you for sharing!
Just finished reading it. It was a fun read, and a good look at 30-something single life. I am 29 and still single thus I could relate to a lot of the book.
I am pm'ing the next reader for their address and will be sending this book off soon!

Received this book today as part of a bookring. I'll try to get it read and passed along soon. I am pm'ing next in line for addy.
I have finished the book and pm'ed the next on the list.
Mailed to next person on the list...6-20-08
I received this book@Key West, Florida, USA, by mail. Thank you flossie771! I am reading several books for bookring right now, so I am going to read this one after them. When I get close to the end of the book, I'll bump the thread for bookray in forum.
It was a fun reading. I watched the movie based on this book in the past and liked it. The book was funny and cute in different way, but I liked it too. While the ending of the movie was very hilarious, the ending of the book was dramatic, funny, and romantic! I think I liked the book's ending more than the movie's one.
This book is now, for ray-it-forward. I will find somebody to pass it on.
This book is now, for ray-it-forward. I will find somebody to pass it on.
I mailed this book today to rebeccaljames as RAY-IT-FORWARD.
I’ll find the first person that wants this book and send it to them. I just ask that they pass the book along “BookRay” fashion when they are done with it.
If you have this book then please look for another BookCrosser to pass it to. Check the wish lists, leave a message on the forums, a yahoo group, the BookRelay, or offer it at a meeting...whatever way you choose to pass it on is up to you. If no other BookCrossers want it then send it along its way as a wild release but this should be a last resort.
What are the advantages of Ray it Forward? Time frame – I ask that you pass the book along in a couple months or so, but because there is not a “waiting list” the time is a little more relaxed than a standard BookRay.
Shipping Preferences – Choose your own. If you need to post within your own country then do so. If you choose to send international that is great too. If postal costs are a problem right now then hand it to another BookCrosser at a meeting, ask for postage from the receiver or find some other way to get the book in the hands of another BookCrosser.
***Please note that it would be polite to let the next person know that this is a Ray It Forward book before you pass it along to them so that they will know that they will be expected to pass it on in a couple months.
Enjoy the Book!
(Ray it Forward Rules borrowed from Surmisez)
I received this book today. I am looking forward to reading it. I have a couple before it and then I will read it and pass it along. Thank you for sharing.
I am turning this into an international bookray with the last person to ray it forward.
