Text to Self - The Couple Next Door

The book I'm reading is The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena. The story is about a happily, married couple named Anne and Marco Conti. One night they were at a dinner party while their newborn baby was in the house next door when a terrible crime is committed. Blame is immediately fall on the parents. But the truth is so much more complicated. Someone had kidnapped their baby. Who would kidnap their baby? Where is she? Find out everything in the depths of this suspenseful book.
One of the main characters, Anne, reminds me of my mom. The reason she reminds me of my mom is because both of them are new moms and love their baby a lot. Detective Rasbach reminds me or me because whenever something doesn't make sense we both do everything to tr and put all the pieces in the puzzle. Anne and Marco remind me of another couple named Karen and Tom Krupp from A Stranger in the House. I think they are similar because one person from each couple betrays each other and they both go through extreme emotional stress. Anne and Marco are stressed because of the kidnapping of their baby girl and Karen and Tom Krupp are emotionally stressed due to the murder that is connected to Karen. The problem in The Couple Next Door is similar to current events in the real world because people thousands of people are getting kidnapped everyday.
During reading this book, I kept trying to figure out what I know and try and solve the case before the detective. I tried really hard to find out who stole their baby without reading ahead of myself. I love the way that the author, Shari Lapena, kept the me in suspense and kept me wanting more with new information. If I were Anne I would ave suspected everyone, even my own family and husband. I don't understand how Anne could stay with her husband Marco after all the lies, plus the fact that he stole her baby. The character I most admire is Detective Rasbach because e is doing everything he can t help out the Conti family and find out who took the baby. At the same time he looks and analyzes everything.

Text to Self: The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire

          I am currently reading  The 100 Cupboards: Dandelion Fire  . It is the second book in the series and it is about a magical boy battling an evil power in which he had released himself in the first book of the series. In the first book, he moves in with his Aunt and Uncle after his parents are kidnapped. He soon discovers that behind the plaster in his wall are 99 hidden magical cupboards that lead to different worlds. The second book continues where the first left off.           I can connect to the main character Henry in many ways because of how he acts and feels towards his cousin Henrietta. To me, Henrietta acts like my little brother. Henrietta was one of the people who caused the huge mess that Henry now has to clean up. She also decided to go exploring the cupboards without telling anyone. In the end she ended up being captured. I believe my brother would act the same way as her if he was in the same situation....

"If you're reading this it's too late" is by pseudonymous bosch , is about a fight between max-ernst and ms.mauvais the two main characters .
