Our books will be with us soon, and I have started this discussion before they arrive as I am going to be taking some time off to spend with my grandchildren Heart eyes

Our next read is The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion:

"Love isn't an exact science - but no one told Don Tillman.

A thirty-nine-year-old geneticist, Don's never had a second date. So he devises the Wife Project, a scientific test to find the perfect partner.

Enter Rosie - 'the world's most incompatible woman' - throwing Don's safe, ordered life into chaos.

But what is this unsettling, alien emotion he's feeling? . . ."

We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on 21 September at 7.30pm.

Happy reading everyone.

    I really enjoyed this, and agree with the other comments that it was a nice easy read (I read it in less than a week). My only criticism is that I would have expected Don to be aware that he has Asperger's, as this seems to be a surprise to him, although he acknowledges that he's "wired" differently.

    Overall, though, it was a fun read, and it's prompted me to join my local library service (after 19 years of living in this town!), so I can borrow the audio book of The Rosie Effect, which I'm now listening too. It's much easier than trying to squeeze in another read, especially when I'm trying to get through my own backlog of books.

    (I've also read Before the Coffee Gets Cold, which is one I put forward a while ago. I found it on the shelf of a holiday cottage we stayed in a few weeks ago. Needless to say, I'm glad it wasn't chosen!)
