Giveaway: Where'd You Go, Bernadette -- Maria Semple



Thanks to Anna & Hachette Book Group, I have 3 copies of this book up for grabs.
Here is the synopsis, and then be sure to enter via Rafflecopter.

Synopsis:
Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.

Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle--and people in general--has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic.

To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, secret correspondence--creating a compulsively readable and touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.

    I love books with eccentric characters. They are just the best fun. Bernadette sounds like a top-notch nut. My kinda gal.

    I like the setting in Seattle. Sort of my neck of the woods.

    Sounds like a fun read. Plus the fact it's told in letters and correspondence makes it seem interesting!

    I've been reading great reviews of this and think the idea of looking for Bernadette is a good premise. I have in-laws that live in Seattle, so the setting may be of interest too! Thanks so much!

    I think it would be a fun book to read, and I'd love to find out where Bee's mom is. It makes for an interesting plot in the book.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
