The narrator could be amusing, but the story itself was pretty meh. Maybe I would have liked it more if I hadn't been listening to it, but the story just seemed to drag on. I may count it as "A book with a terrible cover" for the Summer Book Bingo, though, because the actual cover of my library o...
I should be rating this one higher than I am; at least 4.5 stars. I picked it up with the intention of just reading a page or two and suddenly two hours passed. I couldn't stop reading it. But when I finished I just didn't feel that 4.5 star feeling. We can blame it on a woeful job on the part ...
Bernadette Fox is notorious.

I am a bit odd myself so I ended up liking this overall. The further along you read in this book the ...
This is a satirical epistolary novel about a upper class family's issues prepping for a trip to Antarctica, that results in the mother, Bernadette, going missing. Overall I thought this book was very funny and really enjoyed how the story was told. That being said I did have some issues. While the ...
Beware: This book is utter chaos. After a summer of little reading joy, October certainly seems to make up for it with some cracking reads. I'm not usually keen to pick bestsellers because they don't often live up to expectations, but this one worked for me. Where's You Go, Bernadette? is the st...
