Hi everyone! Welcome to another edition of The Week’s Entrée!

This coming Friday we are hosting our next #MTMC18 chat on Twitter! This week we are featuring Lindley from This Splintered Silence by Kayla Olson. Lindley is going to take over Kayla’s Twitter account and it’s going to be so much fun!!! To learn more about the chat, click HERE.

In other news, I lowered my Goodreads challenge from 100 to 50 and here’s hoping I can keep up! xD Honestly, if it weren’t for the extra manuscripts I get to read every month, I would surely be on track. BUT I KEEP FIGHTING aka keep reading because that’s still my first love. ♥

Lindley Hamilton has been the leader of the space station Lusca since every first-generation crew member on board, including her mother, the commander, were killed by a deadly virus.
Lindley always assumed she’d captain the Lusca one day, but she never thought that day would come so soon. And she never thought it would be like this—struggling to survive every day, learning how to keep the Lusca running, figuring out how to communicate with Earth, making sure they don’t run out of food.
When a member of the surviving second generation dies from symptoms that look just like the deadly virus, though, Lindley feels her world shrinking even smaller. The disease was supposed to be over; the second generation was supposed to be immune. But as more people die, Lindley must face the terrifying reality that either the virus has mutated or something worse is happening: one of their own is a killer.

And that’s it for this edition of The Week’s Entrée! What are you all reading? 🙂
