Jumping on this 2012 bandwagon

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

August 6, 2019 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

What a fun read!  Like the movie Booksmart, no sooner was I finished reading this than I began to push it onto other people- you’ll love this!  Its hilarious! A comedy of errors with heart!  It is all of those things, and this is me pushing it onto CBR readers (those of you who haven’t read it already- I realize I’m late to the party). Semple’s novel is a modern family story set in Seattle, centred around genius architect Bernadette Fox- Branch, her tech wizard […]

Quirky, adorable mystery – perfect beach read.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

July 12, 2019 by kella Leave a Comment

This was a book that I voted for in our book club selections because of seeing it on several “Must Read” lists. I had no preconceived ideas about the plot, just knowing that others liked it. Fifteen year-old Bee is a typical teenager with a very untypical mother. Bernadette is outspoken, opinionated and is the definition of “marches to the beat of her own drum”. In a previous life she was an acclaimed architect, with designs that were revolutionary and award-winning. Now she is bordering […]

Runaway…

Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

July 11, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Wow. So this book bounced all over the place and my brain still feels fizzy because there was a lot of things going on, but boy did I love this book! I loved Bernadette, Bee, their weird dog Ice Cream, and I loved the emails and letters between two women who I would have throttled if I ever met in real life (Audrey Griffin and Soo-Lin). This book was in parts funny and sad and back to funny again. I picked this because I wanted […]

Where’d You Go Bernadette – What took me so long??

Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple

April 7, 2019 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

For some reason, this book languished in my “to read” pile for quite some time. I can’t quite explain it, but I found something about the cover to be off-putting, and didn’t think I was going to like it. As the old adage goes though, judging by a cover is problematic, and I found this book to be utterly engrossing and delightful. Once I finally picked it up, I was hooked. A really unique story, told creatively, with rich and vibrant characters. And so so […]

“I’m not too good when exposed to people”

Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple

October 22, 2016 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

Over the summer I cancelled my SiriusXM membership because between borrowing CDs from the library and downloading books off Overdrive I almost always had an audiobook to listen to in the car. Typically, I leave my book listening to the car but not with Where’d You Go, Bernadette? I couldn’t put it down (so to speak) and since it was downloaded onto my phone I didn’t have to. Bernadette went with me to my lunch break at work, while I was cooking and even while I was […]
