The Guardian announced this week that Helen Fielding is currently working on a third novel about the world's favourite single lady, Bridget Jones, to be published next autumn. The publishers only stated that the book "explores a different phase in Bridget's life" and will be set in present-day London, i.e. roughly 13 years after the last instalment in the series. Ooooh, I'm already psyched!
The author revealed that Bridget's popular diary entries would now be focusing more on Twitter followers than on cigarettes, alcohol and weight loss or gain. "It's more like 'number of Twitter followers: 0. Still no followers. Still no followers'. But she has grownup. My life has moved on and hers will move on too," Fielding declared. "She's still trying to give up [drinking and smoking], she's still on a diet. She's trying a bit harder, and is a bit more successful, but she's never really going to change."

So, I'm going to pencil a big fat mark into my calendar for 2013. I know... it's comfort literature, but in my personal book that is more than enough for a cosy autumny weekend.
