75 Books...More or Less! discussion

Carol and I will be starting The Rosie Effect, the sequel to The Rosie Project, on 3/1!

I'm going to start tonight! :)

I forgot how annoying Don could be...! lol. 70 pages in.

Just started!

I'm going to read this series. I might jump into your thread when I catch up :)

Sounds good! :)

Halfway through! I think Don is definitely more irritating in this one!!

He is kinda irritating, in a lovable annoying kind of way.

I finished. I liked the first book better. Don really got on my nerves this time around!! Or maybe I just don't remember how awful he was in the first book. lol.

I finished it, too. I agree with you about Don. Rosie wasn't much help.

Not at all! She basically just tried to avoid every situation which was not mature and not helpful to Don at all. She KNOWS he doesn't "get it" like normal people and she still never helped him out and told him exactly what she meant. A very frustrating book. lol

IF, the author was to do a 3rd book, I think a baby project would be full of Don-isms. But that might be too cliche and Don would continue to drive me crazy...

No kidding! lol.

Hey guys, I just saw that they are making the book The Rosie Project into a movie. It comes out in May 2019. IMDB says that it stars Ryan Murphy. Not who I would have expected, but I can accept Ryan Murphey.

If there isn't even any information on it, I highly doubt it's coming out next May. And WTH, Don is not supposed to be crazy hot so Ryan Reynolds would NOT work. lol. Apparently it's been "in the works" since 2017. Seems pretty chaotic.

This was on the Wiki page: "In September 2014 it was confirmed that Sony Pictures optioned film rights to The Rosie Project. Simsion penned the first draft of the script and screenwriters Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber were later brought on to work on the final script, with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller set to potentially direct. Jennifer Lawrence was cast as the female lead for the film in July 2015. In October 2015, Lawrence dropped out to star in the film mother! by Darren Aronofsky, director of the Oscar-winning movie Black Swan.[5] In July 2015, Richard Linklater was in talks to direct after Lord and Miller dropped out to do other projects.[6] However, after Lawrence dropped out of the film, so did Linklater.[7] In 2017, TriStar Pictures announced that Ben Taylor would direct the film."

I could and would LOVE to see J-Law as Rosie though! Maybe she has time now! But not Ryan Reynolds as Don.

Oh dang, I hope it does come out...

Ohh that would be so cool!! I just read a really good YA book called All the Bright Places. It is also going to be a movie!

Lookie lookie! Feb 2019!

I had no idea!!! Thx.

Ohh that is so cool!

Carol, do you want to read this together at some point this year? I plan on getting it from my library, maybe a month or two after release. Release date is Feb 5.

Yes! I JUST put my name on the hold list. The listing says there are 8 people ahead of me and only one book so I think, I should get it 24 weeks after 2/5... Here's hoping they get another copy... Does that sound doable with your schedule?

Ugh not one f the 6 networks I have access too has purchased the book yet!

Sure we'll just play it by ear. See how things are this summer. I'm not in a rush.

I'm sure they will, Andrea, give them some time! lol.

Weird, the e-book is available but the paperback and hardcover don't come out till May 28.

That makes sense Elyse, I keep checking back to see if anyone has purchased it yet.

Helloooo, I'm looking to start The Rosie Result on June 24 or that weekend-ish! I'm buddy reading it in another group and wanted to send it out here!

Just finished the third book in the series. This may have been my favorite!

The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion - Third book in the Don Tillman series. Don is going to work on one of the most challenging projects yet... The Hudson Project: His 11 year old son, Hudson Tillman. **** 6/21/19

Carol, I'm so glad you liked this one too.

I'm on 4 library wait lists for this one. I just checked an for one of them I'm #6 and there are three books! I should have my copy soon if you want to read and chat, Elyse.
