The Rosie Project | 
pickI moved this up my TBR after @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks posted about it. I listened to the audio which was well done. It was quirky and fun. #Loveathon #ValentinesDayReadathon #BookSpinBingo
bailedAnd . . . time to bail
I just don't care about anything happening in this book 😕
Ready to start this after @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks mentioned Sheldon and laughter 😁
#fromTBRshelf
Lets try this again w/the correct pixels. I am thirty-nine years old, tall, fit, and intelligent, with a relatively high status and above-average income as an associate professor. Logically; I should be attractive to a wide range of women. In the animal kingdom, I would succeed in reproducing. 🤣 & there you go, the idiocracy of the human brain sometimes w/ the way life will smack w/ suprises. This romantic comedy is charming & so familiar
pickI enjoyed this book tremendously!! It was a quick read, and it is the basis for a movie currently in production ~~ look forward to reading the sequel. The flow, storyline, character development & humor was fun & feel-good.
pickI sympathised with the main character and his reasoning and logical approach to life's problem.

pickThe Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Such a fun and touching read about a man with high functioning autism looking for a wife and learning how to connect.
Book 37
so-soThis is a lively, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that kept me reading. I loved Don‘s voice & the seeming clarity with which he was able to see ethical dilemmas & nonstandard relationships.
The book is faithful to the rom com trajectory, however, & as Don masters etiquette there is a loss of the book‘s initial charm & a depressingly stifled resolution on what marriage should look like & what fatherhood means. This just isn‘t the genre for me.
Oh my gosh. I am a little blown away. I started it this morning (this is a book club pick for September) planning to read a few pages but I don‘t want to stop. This is the funniest, most charming book I‘ve read in awhile. Also, at one point I was full-on crying so, yeah, I‘m loving this so far.
pickThis was a cute romcom with a socially awkward hero and a strong heroine. I liked watching Don learn to defy his set patterns and fall for Rosie.

so-so💛💛💛 I found this quite an enjoyable read in parts and boring/predictable for the rest. It was lighthearted and the character of Don was endearing. I did however feel the author was using difficulties of having autistic spectrum disorder to try and generate comedy which just felt awkward. Not sure if I'll be reading the rest of the trilogy...
pickI am loving the #booked2021 challenge for getting through books that have been on my shelf for years! Here‘s another for #SetInAustralia. I wonder how long it will take me to get to the next in the trilogy!
pickIt's fascinating to dive into the head of autistic people. I feel so related and finally can accept that certain thought processes are normal, in some way. I loved the cocktail scene and the New York trip! I want be friends with both Don and Rosie!
(🎧 - audiobook)
pickFinishing this one up today, and decided to mix a drink in honor of Don‘s amazing bartending skills. 🤣 This book was so much fun, and an unexpected breath of fresh air. Listening while driving I found myself lol‘ing. This is why I really love reading challenges, because I don‘t know if I would have picked it up otherwise. #booked2021 #setinaustralia
pickJust finished this for one of my book clubs.... such a sweet story! I loved Don‘s perspective, and how he processed different situations from what to have for dinner to falling in love (and realizing that it was love). #bookspinbingo
pickSuch a fun and hilarious story about a socially awkward genetics professor who tries to find the perfect wife and to see whether he‘s capable of true love. This would make an amazing movie (which I heard is in development with Ryan Reynolds set to play the lead)! Highly recommend this book ☺️
#Booked2021 pick for #SetinAustralia
pickI love this book, I think it's adorable and really enjoyed this re-read (or re-listen).

pickI randomly bought this book by just reading the back cover imagining it to be something fun and surely I was right
The Rosie project is a pretty fun book, a very easy read which you can do during a weekend. Reading this book felt like watching a movie. A very cute romantic story. Generally I am not big on romance but this book quite surprised me with its cute moments.
I would definitely recommend it.
bailedRead the first chapter of this & giving it a HARD PASS. I would recommend Helen Hoang‘s The Kiss Quotient books a million times over this garbage. Those are actual, #ownvoices romcoms with autistic heroes & heroines who aren‘t made out to be sociopaths and/or the butt of the author‘s jokes. Just. 🤮.
pickA cute, funny rom com about, for a change, an endearing lovable guy who's looking for a partner! I was a bit worried that it was going in the direction of "finding a romantic partner changed this autistic person's behaviour and now they don't have autism anymore" but it pivoted from that, and from the idea that Don needed to change to be attractive to Rosie. I do wish he had been constructed to know he was on the spectrum from the start, though.

Day8: The Rosie Project trilogy by Graeme C. Simsion
@Andrew65
pickI have no idea why I waited so long to read this book! What a delight! Book number 4 for #BookSpinBingo 💙
Finally made it to the library! Got books for the kids mostly. But I saw this and thought "ha! Wanted to read that for ages!" so why not ?
so-soUnpopular opinion here. I thought this was funny at first and then I was beyond bored. It‘s my book club choice so I did some additional research. Would we like Don as much if it was “Donna” acting this way? I think society loves a clueless, white, highly intelligent male with no social skills. Would we like a female character like this as much? Just wondering.

I'm reading this book for my book club and enjoying it so far. I expected it to just be fluffy but it actually has some surprising dimension. Other than reading this book, I'm doing nothing all day and enjoying it!
pickThought this was a very funny read, loved Don he was absolutely fab. Will be reading the other books with him in ❤

pickI‘d heard about this book did awhile and am pretty sure it was on a recommended list on Pinterest. I loved it from the first word to the last. Spoken in the first person by Don who is a person on the spectrum. He decides to create a questionnaire to find his prefect mate...and then he meets his polar opposite - Rosie! I found myself laughing out loud many times.
Books for my Houston & church book groups arrived from awesome indie bookstore BookPeople of Austin! #newin #bookgroups
I am #currentlyreading The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion. It's 1 a.m. where I'm at and I find the late night hours a perfect time to really get lost in a story.
Also, @Litsy can you please get rid of the fixed 1:1 ratio on posts? Books themselves are not 1:1. Be better 😫
Happy weekend, Littens! Charlie & I found a sunspot! Trying to finish this one for virtual book club on Sun! This week was pretty good. I'm revising a book & loving the results. I'm taking an online drawing class to re-learn all the things I forgot from high school art classes. It's fun. I'm exercising regular & gardening. I still really miss the outside world & hugging friends. But I'm here. I'm alive. I'm taking it 1 day at a time. How are you?
One pot Alfredo (I added peas), leftover kale Caesar from Easter, local super-bitter IPA, and a book. I‘m into the food part of quarantine life.

Here's my April bookspin. I've already about halfway through and I'm definitely liking it. It's quite different from what I usually read and is a stark contrast from my previous crime fiction book.
pickI tend to gravitate to “heavy reads” but I was in my local library used bookstore and I saw this on the shelf. I‘ve seen many give this book praises so I grabbed it. I‘ve got a lot going on in my life so my attention span doesn‘t let me tackle the books I usually choose. I read this in three days and really enjoyed it. It was a lighter read but a very interesting story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
pickFinished my first book of 2020! What an enjoyable read! It had me laughing out loud at parts. While it was fun and quirky, I appreciated the more serious moments as well. It‘s rumored that Ryan Reynolds is to star as Don in the movie version & I think that‘s an excellent choice! I‘m eager to read more from Don and Rosie in The Rosie Effect!
It‘s near 60 degrees, so I figured I would read some outside today (with a coat of course!) I‘m really enjoying this book and glad to know there‘s 2 more in the series.
Starting this one! I‘ve heard great things and I read it has a similar feel to Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, which I loved. Hopefully I‘ll love this one too!
The first 30 or so pages is kinda ok but once he meets Rosie it‘s awesome lol!!! I‘m having a hard time putting it down!!!!
