İki Kardeş (Y. Bahadıroğlu) ücretsiz kitap indir

Giovanni Cirelli giovart — I read the first Elite Ops book a few weeks ago and the rest have been staring at me on my TBR pile, so I'm on a mission to read the rest straight through. This was book 2, the story of Micah, ex Israeli Mossad, and Risa. Both characters have a violent and heartbreaking past which colors their decisions. I liked that this was a simple, easy read. I liked the characters and could understand their motivations. There were no TSTL moves, which makes me very happy. The setup for the next book is obvious here, so I'm on to the next!

Sergey Golubitskiy sergey55550 — Say what you will about this book and it's non-genre status, I fell in love with the characters from the very beginning. Though I know I would have been more satisfied if the book did fall into a genre, it didn't diminish all the wonderful moments that made me both laugh hysterically and sob until I drenched a tissue. Shannon Hale was somehow able to make me latch on to the people in her story, even secondary characters, and care about them. And I suppose since I can relate so well with Becky, mother of four, her trials and witticisms struck me right to the heart. This is my absolute favorite paragraph in the book: "...Becky believed she was impervious to the threat of adultery, with Felix or anyone. Even if she was hit on the head and forgot that she was in love with her husband, even if all her moral convictions and sense of basic human decency were surgically removed from her brain, she always had that post-pregnancy body as a very last resort. No chance she'd allow any man to see her naked besides the one who'd gotten her pregnant four times. You broke it, you bought it, baby."

Domino Satoboy dominosatoboy — For a few years, I fostered a very robust fascination with Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk who was a prolific writer. I can’t remember how I found Merton, maybe some long ago professor of mine or a reference in someone else’s book, but since I started reading him almost a decade ago, he has, more than any other writer, influenced my way of seeing the world. He was a pacifist and a political activist, at least in the sense that he spoke out boldly against things he found immoral or unethical - like the atomic bomb. He also believed wholeheartedly in the need for a writer to have space to think and be alone - what he called “silence and solitude.” In New Seeds of Contemplation, Merton introduces his readers to the idea of contemplation as a way of life. He urges us all to dip deeper into our thoughts and to slow down from our action, to turn away from that which distracts us and to open up to that which reminds us of true reality, true creation, and true life. If you have ever wanted a model for how to write about thought, this book is for you. Even more so, if you have ever wanted to think about how to slow down, catch your breath, and by do doing, live your life more fully, this book will capture your spirit and heart.
