Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
by Helen Fielding
With another devastatingly hilarious, ridiculous, unnervingly accurate take on modern womanhood, Bridget Jones is back. (v.g.) Monday 27 January "7:15 a.m. Hurrah! The wilderness years are over. For four weeks and five days now have been in functional relationship with adult male, thereby proving am not love pariah as recently feared." Wednesday 5 March "7:08 p.m. Am assured, receptive, responsive woman of substance. My sense of self comes not from other people but . . .from . . .myself? That can't be right." Lurching from the cappuccino bars of Notting Hill to the blissed-out shores of Thailand, everyone's favorite Singleton Bridget Jones begins her search for The Truth in spite of pathetically unevolved men, insane dating theories, and Smug Married advice. She experiences a zeitgeist-esque Spiritual Epiphany somewhere between the pages of How to Find the Love You Want Without Seeking It (can self-help books really help self?), protective custody, and a lightly chilled Chardonnay.

Confessions of a Shopaholic
by Sophie Kinsella
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Party Crasher and Love Your Life comes âa hilarious tale . . . hijinks worthy of classic I Love Lucy episodes . . . too good to pass up.â (USA Today) âSophie Kinsella keeps her finger on the cultural pulse, while leaving me giddy with laughter.ââJojo Moyes, author of The Giver of Stars and The Last Letter from Your Lover Becky Bloomwood has a fabulous flat in Londonâs trendiest neighborhood, a troupe of glamorous socialite friends, and a closet brimming with the seasonâs must-haves. The only trouble is, she canât actually afford itânot any of it. Her job writing at Successful Saving magazine not only bores her to tears, it doesnât pay much at all. And lately Beckyâs been chased by dismal letters from the bankâletters with large red sums she canât bear to read. She tries cutting back. But none of her efforts succeeds. Her only consolation is to buy herself something . . . just a little something. Finally a story arises that Becky actually cares about, and her front-page article catalyzes a chain of events that will transform her lifeâand the lives of those around herâforever. Praise for Sophie Kinsella and Confessions of a Shopaholic âKinsellaâs Bloomwood is plucky and funny. . . . You wonât have to shop around to find a more winning protagonist.ââPeople âIf a crĂšme brĂ»lĂ©e could be transmogrified into a book, it would be Confessions of a Shopaholic.ââThe Star-Ledger âA have-your-cake-and-eat-it romp, done with brio and not a syllable of moralizing. . . . Kinsella has a light touch and puckish humor.ââKirkus Reviews

Agnes Grey
by Anne Bronte
âThe name of governess, I soon found, was a mere mockery ⊠my pupils had no more notion of obedience than a wild, unbroken coltâ When her family becomes impoverished after a disastrous financial speculation, Agnes Grey determines to find work as a governess in order to contribute to their meagre income and assert her independence. But Agnesâs enthusiasm is swiftly extinguished as she struggles first with the unmanageable Bloomfield children and then with the painful disdain of the haughty Murray family; the only kindness she receives comes from Mr Weston, the sober young curate. Drawing on her own experience, Anne BrontĂ«âs first novel offers a compelling personal perspective on the desperate position of unmarried, educated women for whom becoming a governess was the only respectable career open in Victorian society. This edition also includes Charlotte BrontĂ«âs memoir of her sisters, theBiographical Notice of Ellis and Acton Bell. Angeline Goreau examines Anne BrontĂ«âs complex relationship with her sisters and her unhappy career as a governess as influences in writing Agnes Grey.

Jemima J
by Jane Green
Jemima Jones is overweight. About one hundred pounds overweight. Treated like a maid by her thin and social-climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented but better paid) at the Kilburn Herald, Jemima finds that her only consolation is food. Add to this her passion for her charming, sexy, and unobtainable colleague Ben, and Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. When she meets Brad, an eligible California hunk, over the Internet, she has the perfect opportunity to reinvent herselfâas JJ, the slim, beautiful, gym-obsessed glamour girl. But when her long-distance Romeo demands that they meet, she must conquer her food addiction to become the bone-thin model of her e-mailsâno small feat. With a fast-paced plot that never quits and a surprise ending no reader will see coming, Jemima J is the chronicle of one woman's quest to become the woman she's always wanted to be, learning along the way a host of lessons about attraction, addiction, the meaning of true love, and, ultimately, who she really is.
