The New York Times Top 15 (25) Best Sellers for the week ending November 16th, 2013


Here we are again! Another week has gone by and another Best Seller list is upon us! I post this column for EVERY Sunday by NOON! Sometimes earlier!
Last week I said I had reviews to post, but it turned out to be a week of Giveaways! Don't miss that button in the Upper Left Column! The Gratitude Giveaway Hop! Enter till the 30th! I think you'll like what I have to give away!
This week I've been reading and this is the link to grab it by clicking on this title here: The Rosie Project: A Novel by Graeme Simsion
(I think the authors name even sounds nerdy! It really fits with the book! LOL!) Yes, this book is about a Professor of Genetics who is such a huge NERD I cannot begin to explain HOW BIG! He has decided it's time he find a wife. He has a 16 page questionnaire for possible 'prospective wives' to fill out, then he goes through them and decides upon these women just by they way they have answered in this 'book' of questions! I almost did not finish reading this book after the first chapter because this guy is SUCH A NERD! He has so many hang-ups, I didn't know if I could read an entire book of them! What saved this book was he went to dinner the next evening at his friends home, and they kind of brought him down to earth a little by going over it and suggesting he change some of the questions in it, and toss some of them. He did. Thank gosh, because that saved the book for me! I'm only about 1/3 of the way into it, but it's pretty good. It is hard to get over some of the nerdy parts, but right now it's picking up and he has met Rosie and has had her over for dinner, and let me tell you she FAILED a LOT of the questions! Come to find out Rosie is looking for her biological father, and this is really right up his alley, so they take on the 'Father Project'. Little does he know 'I think' he's going to fall in love with this woman, despite what he 'thinks' love should be based on, which is science! It's pretty good. I keep getting interrupted while reading it this week, so I need to grab a block of time to dedicate to finishing it.
Anyway, it's #46 on Amazon's Best Books of 2013!
