my most anticipated summer
More than anything, Tom Raines wants to be important, though his shadowy life is anything but that. For years, Tom’s drifted from casino to casino with his unlucky gambler of a dad, gaming for their survival. Keeping a roof over their heads depends on a careful combination of skill, luck, con artistry, and staying invisible.
Then one day, Tom stops being invisible. Someone’s been watching his virtual-reality prowess, and he’s offered the incredible—a place at the Pentagonal Spire, an elite military academy. There, Tom’s instincts for combat will be put to the test, and if he passes, he’ll become a member of the Intrasolar Forces, helping to lead his country to victory in World War Three. Finally, he’ll be someone important: a superhuman war machine with the tech skills that every virtual-reality warrior dreams of. Life at the Spire holds everything that Tom’s always wanted—friends, the possibility of a girlfriend, and a life where his every action matters—but what will it cost him?

DAY 3
#WWReadathon: Sonnets and Serenades Challenge
This poem does not do the relationship of Rainier and Ellysetta justice
I once scorched the world with fire and rage
And lost my humanity , love and became a beast that day
But my soul found miss upon a day
It found you Ellysetta , my Feyreisa
I once scorched the world with fire and rage
And lost my humanity , love and became a beast that day
But my soul found miss upon a day
It found you Ellysetta , my Feyreisa
The savior of they fey
with this i conclude a lovely saying after long surveying

[Your soul calls.Mine answers, beloved}
by C.L. Wilson
Synopsis:Once he had scorched the world.
Once he had driven back overwhelming darkness.
Once he had loved with such passion, his name was legend...
TAIREN SOUL
Now a thousand years later, a new threat calls him from the Fading Lands, back into the world that had cost him so dearly. Now an ancient, familiar evil is regaining its strength, and a new voice beckons him--more compelling, more seductive, more maddening than any before.
As the power of his most bitter enemy grows and ancient alliances crumble, the wildness in his blood will not be denied. The tairen must claim his truemate and embrace the destiny woven for him in the mists of time.
Nice! I want to finish 2 books and then hopefully read another 2 books! Good luck :-D
