I've read a few books since my last blog, sorry its been quite a few months of not blogging!

Two books I'm going to review today are The Rosie Project & The Rosie Effect


The Rosie Project is a 2013 Australian novel and the debut work of Australian novelist Graeme Simsion. The work was first published on January 30, 2013 in Australia by Text Publishing and has subsequently been released in the United States through Simon & Schuster and in the United Kingdom through Penguin Books. The novel centers on genetics professor Don Tillman, who struggles to have a serious relationship with women. With a friend's help, he devises a questionnaire to assess the suitability of female partners. His plans are set off course when he meets Rosie, who doesn't fit many of Tillman's criteria, but becomes a big part of his life. A sequel entitled The Rosie Effect was released in 2014.

Forty-one-year-old geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date before he met Rosie. Now, living in New York City, they have survived ten months and ten days of marriage, even if Don has had to sacrifice standardized meals and embrace unscheduled sex. But then Rosie drops the mother of all bombshells. And Don must prepare for the biggest challenge of his previously ordered life - while dodging deportation, prosecution and professional disgrace. Is Don Tillman ready to become the man he always dreamed of being? Or will he revert to his old ways and risk losing Rosie for ever?

 
I enjoyed reading these two books I read them quite quickly. You need to read them in order to understand what goes on in the second book, you get to know the characters in the book really well. I would put these books high up on my list of book I may read again. I will give these two 4 and half stars each.
