Image
Time for our sixth Monthly Wrap Up for the 2017 Series Enders Reading Challenge hosted by Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know and Holly @ Words Fueled by Love ! Since the May Wrap Up , Holly finished A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J Maas. Sandy also finished After the Game (The Field Party, # 3) by Abbi Glines. We have a couple of announcements/reminders that we mentioned last month but want to keep up for a couple of months. Please make sure we have a valid email address or other means of contacting you if you choose to participate. Linking up to Goodreads is perfectly fine, but we have found that Goodreads is not a reliable source for contacting someone should you be selected as one of the monthly giveaway winners.

And since we want to make sure that everyone who is eligible for one of the giveaways will r...

The Sound of Light By: Claire Wallis Published: July 17, 2017 320 pages ( Goodreads / Amazon  - preorder the ebook now!) Summary: My littlest girl has always been a bit peculiar. It was nothing I could ever put a finger on, but I always knew there was something inside her that made her a different kind of special. A deeper kind.  K'acy's got a light around her, one that'll just about knock you over, especially if you don't see her coming. She's got music in her soul, too. Deep, resonating music that echoes and hums, just like the notes that come from the bass guitar she's had attached to her hip since the day she turned thirteen years old.  She's got a hell of a secret, yes, but she does what she's got to do to make it one worth having. She takes care of people. She changes their stories. I spent my life telling both of my girls that you always gotta do what's right, even when it hurts, and it makes me proud to know she was liste...
