With all the #summersantagoespostal I almost forgot today's #character2017 prompt. "Hufflepuffs value hard work, patience, loyalty and fair play" and I think that is Sam to T. Is is one of the first girls at a military boarding school, and lives through hell to keep a promise to her brother. #hufflepuff

This book is a little G.I. Jane, a little Skulls, and a little any teen romance novel. Even though romance is forbidden. I like that the author focuses on Sam‘s struggle, and not just Sam‘s struggle with boys. Many characters are typical, and some so predictable it‘s boring. Overall it‘s a nice read, not too weighty, but not so fluffy. I am glad it‘s a stand alone, as I would not read any sequels.

Just a reminder off all the prompts. I do take late entries so if your new to Litsy, join the party. The only rule is you HAVE to tag me. If you already posted but didn't tag me, tag me in the comments. #12DaysofXmasPhoto.

Dear Followers. I thought I would show off the Prize box for #12DaysofXmasPhoto. That book is NOT in the box and is just used for size comparison. The box has a brand new book (released in the last 2 or 3 months) plus awesome goodies to go along. It's valued at over $50 without shipping. It is a fandom box and all but one items is unisex. And my brother (who is extremely manly) already tried to take that item. The only rule you have to tag me

"He‘s dressed all in black, his arm muscles tense and stretching his T-shirt. The black drill sergeant cap is pulled down low over his face, covering his eyes in shadows."
This scene just...?. So vivid for me #ritesofpassage #drill #sergeant #stamm #militarylife (Photo cred: #SabtheBookEater)
