 The Rosie Effect, the second book in Graeme Simsion's Rosie Series (well, I'm hoping it's a Rosie SERIES - hahahaha!  I can't get enough of Don and his hilarious and touching adventures - lol!  So sweet, so funny... oh, man, you are a'gonna looove these beautiful books!

The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion.  Oh, man, you're in for such a treat!

Yahooo, The Rosie Effect just came out, and I've just finished it, and can't stop smiling - it is AMAZING, a phenomenal continuation of Don Tillman's life with his new wife, Rosie...oh, man, what a great read!!  You are gonna LOVE it, for sures!

My beautiful, loving, caring, brilliantly funny daughter, Cara, got me a copy of The Rosie Effect, yesterday - and a copy for herself and her wonderful fiance...and I thought, initially, I could so easily have read their copy, when they were done, but my lovely Cara said that no, she really loved the author, Graeme Simsion, and really wanted to support him in every possible way, and so she bought two copies - how incredibly sweet is that?

So I was up all last night, reading The Rosie Effect - is soo good, I had to force myself to put the book down, and go to bed - so I finally put the book down at 3:37am...lol!  and then I got up, today (errrr, not very early, totally justified but, one, it's my own life, I'll get up when me wants to, right? It's my mother's voice in my head that tries to shame me into getting up early - hahaha!  That only works when she's in the same house as me - lol!  And, two, I was totally up really late, reading something really important, sooo, thus the sleep in day? lol!  And then I had a quick piece of pizza, started reading, got up to refill my tea cup (and have some apple pie - all lovely and cold, like I like it!), then straight back to my fantastic book, The Rosie Effect - wow, you feel like you've just gone on the most amazing journey through a year in Don's life.... oh, man, I can't recommend this book highly enough - go get it, or order it through Amazon - oh, and if you haven't read The Rosie Project, yet, grab that one up, too, and read the Rosie Project, first, and then The Rosie Effect - oh, what a treat for you!!

You are gonna laugh so hard, you'll chuckle, you'll guffaw, you'll smile so big, you'll be beaming... is just such a beautiful read, is so heartwarming, so smart, and so funny... you'll be so involved in the lives of all the characters - Don Tillman, Rosie, his wife, the new baby-on-the-way, Gene, the three 'b's - B1, B2 and B3 - hilarious! Oh, so sweet! And so smart!  Am I saying enough to let you know how much I love the Rosie Effect? These books are gonna make GREAT movies - oh, I'll link this page back to my first page on The Rosie Project, so you can see who I thought would be great to play Don, Rosie and Gene in the movie version of The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect.

Graeme Simsion, the author of The Rosie Project, and the sequel, The Rosie Effect, is such an incredibly brilliant author. We were soo lucky, earlier in the summer - we got to 'talk' with Graeme Simsion on this Twitter chat thing that they had - was pretty funny, since although I have quite a few Twitter Followers, and I really like Twitter, I realy did not know how that whole thing worked, so it took a minute for me to figure that out, and end up on the same Twitter page as everyone else - haha!   But it was soo much fun to feel a real 'live' connection to such an amazing author. Graeme Simsion is, by far, one of the best authors I've ever read, and if you only know me a weeeee bit, you'll know I'm an avid reader, and always have been ...

And I don't think this book, #TheRosieProject, or it's sequel, #TheRosieEffect, are necessarily all about #Autism or #Aspergers, they are just a part of Don's wonderful and delightful personality, just the way he is, and I loove that approach. #GraemeSimsion's books are for everyone, but if you happen to have a special space in your heart for some really lovely, really special people, these books will be even more meaningful and precious to you, as they were for me : )




Oh, boy, I cannot wait for everyone to read Graeme Simsion's, The Rosie Project, and The Rosie Effect.

Okay, it's been hours and hours of living precariously through Don's life, so I have to go get something to eat - am leaning toward a lovely (and healthy, I'm assuming) piece of German Chocolate Cake - no tell Don! hahahaha!  You're gonna love the books!  Your Little Reader Buddy, Ailsa : )

#TheRosieProject, by #GraemeSimsion Such a Great Book! #GoodReads #Autism #Aspergers #BigBangTheory #Sheldon #FreddieHighmore


  The Rosie Project, by Graeme Simsion - One of THE best books I've ever read, and that's saying a LOT! Read it, you'll looove it! : )

 Omg, you are gonna fall in love with Don, in this wonderful, sooo funny, beautiful little book. It won't take you long to read it, because you won't be able to put it down, you'll be so wrapped up in this fantastic story. Don is soo funny - I had Sheldon's voice in my head, the whole time, Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory...oh, man, I just cannot get enough of this book, The Rosie Project. It's so beautifully crafted, so well written, you will just be taken away by it, and then you'll want to share it with all your friends, colleagues, family, people you pass on the street ... it's just that good! lol!

 And here's the thing - this subject matter is so close to my own heart, and almost everyone knows someone like Don, or maybe they relate directly to Don, and it's so moving, so beautiful and sensitive, and hilariously funny - you will absolutely fall in love with this book.

And I don't think this book, #TheRosieProject, or it's sequel, #TheRosieEffect, are necessarily all about #Autism or #Aspergers, they are just a part of Don's wonderful and delightful personality, just the way he is, and I loove that approach. #GraemeSimsion's books are for everyone, but if you happen to have a special space in your heart for some really lovely, really special people, these books will be even more meaningful and precious to you, as they were for me : )

Oh, and my wonderful daughter, Cara, tells me they're making a movie of the Rosie Project, so, of course, that means they will also make the sequel, The Rosie Effect..... I'm hoping the main characters, Don and Rosie, would be played by Sheldon (from The Big Bang Theory)(Jim Parsons, in real life - lol!), as Don Tillman, and Scarlett Johanssen as Rosie... they would be great! and maybe Hugh Jackman as Gene??

 Oh, boy, I'm excited about getting to read the next book, The Rosie Effect, and I'm excited to tell you about this incredibly wonderful, beautiful, and enlightening (and soo funny!) book, The Rosie Project, AND, I'm super excited about the movies coming out, The Rosie Project, first, and then The Rosie Effect...





Ooh, now I'm thinking Freddie Highmore, from The Good Doctor, to play the part of our beloved Don... whoever they choose, and I hope they do make The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect into movies - would be the best Rom-Coms, ever! #RomanticComedy 



























Right? What do you think? Wait 'til; you've read the book, and let me know! lol! And then Hugh Jackman as Gene?? Man, you'd be so excited when there's another scene with Gene - Yum! lol!




And now there's a sequel about to come out, The Rosie Effect, so we can hardly WAIT for that - will be automatic reading, the second The Rosie Effect gets into our hands - lol!

#WallyLamb #AmericanWriters We Are Water, by Wally Lamb - Wow, What a read! #GreatBooks #GoodReads #FavoriteAuthors #Books #Novel #Reading






Wow, I am blown away by Wally Lamb's new book, We Are Water. I just finished reading it, and, holy crap, what a ride. You are so caught up in the story, and all the characters, you need to just keep reading, like the floodgates have opened to the story, and you've gotta ride the wave to the end. Amazing. 

(Oh, and I get a wee something when you buy through me, too - so thank you so much - you're the best!)

It's always a little tricky when I want to tell you about an amazing new book you might like to read, too -- although, this is not a book for the lily-livered... is that the right spelling?? hahaha!  Makes me laugh, just thinking about that term, but lets say you know someone who balks when they hear a sweary word Whaaat?? People swear?? Say it ain't so.... okay, those people. You've got someone in your mind, right now, everyone knows at least one prude, and you wonder, how the hell did that happen, after, say, 1921??  Who knows? People who cling to a pristine past that never did exist? Who can tell what made them pretend to be so pure of heart..... generally, these are also some of the meanest people, but secretly hurting people, hiding behind this little wall of bashfulness, or extreme and excessive purity - they annoy me, for the most part, just accept others for who and what they are, and move on.... I'm not big on the ultra-moralistic crap. Gimme a break. And everyone else, too.... people go through stuff, they deal with it, it's very rough, sometimes... anyway, I see I'm on a bit of a rant...not enough sugar for me, today?? hahahaha!  Like sugar is the new enemy. Stooopid. That annoys me, too. Maybe a little fresh cup of tea will help me 'simmer down'?? haha!

Okay, let me put the rest of the Wally Lamb books up here for you, too, in case you're new to Wally Lamb...oh, man, are you ever in for an incredible reading treat!  Again, though, only if you're an adult, and can handle some tough stuff.... and love a great read, and, oh, man, are you gonna looove this! We Are Water is a brilliant book - Wally Lamb is definitely one of my all-time favourite writers. Brilliant. Amazing. What a read!


Wally Lamb is so powerful - especially right now, when we are still dealing with school shootings, and the horrible aftermath of these easily avoidable school shootings (and shooting everywhere else, too), Wally Lamb writes beautifully about Columbine, in The Hour I First Believed... 

Every Wally Lamb book is a treat for your senses, you will fall crazy in love with Wally Lamb, and soon he'll become one of your favorite authors, too! : )

This link will take you right to The Wally Lamb Collection - every book by Wally Lamb is spectacular - yes, they are juuuust that good!  I love a book you just can't put down - yahoo for Reading! lol! : )
Happy Reading!!  Ailsa xox


Oooh, look for Mr. Ed - they're hilarious!  We have the Box Set - so funny!
