"Thói Quen Xấu Ơi, Chào Mi!" Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Koike Ryunosuke

I really enjoyed What the Baby Knew though unrequited teenage love and crushes are not my favorite themes. Quinn has been to hell and back in the past year and is still having nightmares about it. He was a Navy SEAL for 15 years and then his wife lost the fight with cancer and soon after he went on a mission in which his whole team perished and he spent his time in and out of hospitals. He blames himself and his grief for his team dying, so came back to the town he grew up in, working in his dad's garage, when one evening he hears some noise and tries to quieten his paranoia but then he finds a bag with the weirdest things ever, baby diapers and more and then finds a baby girl. Rachel is coming back from a visit to her mother and got a fender-bender, her car is about to die so she thinks of leaving it as Quinn's father's garage, she doesn't see anyone there and is about to leave a letter when she sees Quinn, a grown-up version and not the high-school football star, the guy she tutored in Shakespeare and the object of her teenage fantasies. She knows that Quinn has had some bad times and just moved to town. Rachel and her mother were walked out on by her father when she was little as a result of that her mother became bitter, obsessed with being independent and making Rachel the same way. Rachel was shy and used food to cope with her life, hence she was over-weight and made fun of in school but now she's changed, she loves her job as a kindergarten teacher and is what her mom wants, a successful, independent career-minded woman who doesn't want or need a man. So, when they meet Quinn doesn't recognize her, and thinks she is the baby's mother and they kind of get into it, but then the confusion clears. Rachel thinks the baby is his and like her father he is trying to run away from his responsibilities. Quinn doesn't like seeing disappointment in her eyes, he knew Rachel had a tough time in school and worshipped him, he in turn tried to make things easier for her by beating up people. Then he finds a letter in the baby's things whose name is Charli, where her mother writes that she is in danger and knows he will keep her safe, as he did for the team. Quinn thinks the football team, but when he thinks harder, he comes up with his SEAL team. He decides to keep the baby and track down the mother. The rest of the book is Quinn trying to take care of the baby with help from Rachel who knows about them, so we have him learning to bathe the baby, that results in some sparks between them and more. Rachel even moves in when Charli has the flu and tries and succeeds in helping Quinn bond with the baby and even confront his demons and nightmares. She is so sweet and giving and I liked how she tried to stop things from escalating between her and Quinn and is angry when he suggests that they burn up the heat between them, she didn't expect Quinn to be so crude, when he was so gentle with his wife Louisa. I enjoyed the whole progression of the relationship even the scene when Rachel sees herself slipping into old pattern of binging and asks Quinn what about me? She gives and gives and Quinn who is not a bad guy is blind, offering Rachel only half things like a marriage proposal based on what they like.

Hãy Mang Anh Trai Tôi Đi - Tập 2 (Tặng Kèm Móc Khóa - Số Lượng Có Hạn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

I am going to wax so eloquent about this book that some of you may think I am the author's mother...or perhaps I have been paid for the review. Not so! This is truly one of the best detective stories I've ever read and I have fallen in love with the main character. (You know, in just that literary way.) Nick Polchak is a forensic entomologist-a scientist who studies bugs that are attracted to human remains. Think Gil Grissom of CSI. He is weird, coldly calculating and excruciatingly odd. And, about to be married. Lucky girl. Nick has to leave Alena, his fiancee, just days before the wedding at he request of a friend who needs help with a murder investigation. When that friend is also murdered, Nick has just a few days to solve the crime and be back before the wedding. Honestly, I wanted to stop reading on page 2 so that I could go back and begin this one with the first in the series (I believe this is the 7th one in the Bugman Series). The book was absolutely hilarious-witty and flippant and had laughing loudly at very inconvenient times. Nick's comebacks and one-liners had me losing myself in the story, absolutely convinced he is too 'real' to be 'fake'. The realistic characters and a plot that keeps you coming back was just icing on the cake. I loved the ending and rushed right to my computer to start this series all over again. Ahh, a new mystery man to love--what a great way to start a new year!
