Author: Graeme Simsion Publisher: Simon & Schuster Pages: 297 Rating: ★★★★ Synopsis: The Rosie Project follows Don Tillman, a middle-aged, socially awkward, brilliant college genetics professor on a quest to see if he can find true love.

Hi guys, it's review time! Sorry it's been like 500 years since I've written a book review. I promise that I have a few up my sleeve that just need to be written, so watch for those soon!

Booktubeathon Wrap Up

Booktubeathon has ended, and I'm pretty sure I have never read so much in my life. Although I didn't complete all the challenges (which I knew going into it that I wouldn't, but I was going to try), I am still really pleased with how I did! If you're interested, here is  my final tally: Number of Challenges Completed:  Five Read a book with a person on the cover (Always and Forever, Lara Jean) Read a book in one day (Lord of the Flies) Read a hyped book (A Darker Shade of Magic) Read a cover buy (The Rosie Project) Read a book with characters different from you (Lord of the Flies) Total Pages Read:  1,255!! I literally could not believe this because I read at the pace of a sloth. Total Number of Books Read:  Four Inserted here is a picture of all the books I read (and loved) during the Booktubeathon! The only downer was Lord of the Flies, I was very much not a fan.  If you would like, you can read my  Booktubeathon TBR  as well if you haven't
