Tell Us Your BTS Preferences, We'll Give You a Book to Add to Your TBR

<section><h2><h2><strong>Tell us your BTS preferences, we'll give you a book to add to your TBR</strong></h2></h2><p><p>With the release of BE, and its lead single <em>Life Goes On,</em> it is time to talk about BTS&mdash;my favorite thing is being able to gush about my love for BTS. And boy do I love them a lot. This year has been hard for a lot of reasons and one of my saving graces has been music, BTS in particular. Getting new music from them gives me something to smile about. It&rsquo;s not just one song&mdash;o.m.g.&mdash;we get an album, a video, PERFORMANCES!!!!!!!!!!! (even if they&rsquo;re virtual!) New looks. Give me black-haired Suga or give me death! [I am screaming so high only dogs can hear.] I&rsquo;m so excited, no one talk to me for the next year.</p><p>Since I love BTS and I love books I&rsquo;m bringing my two favorite things together: I mean really, it&rsquo;s the perfect combo. Whether you&rsquo;re an ARMY already or a newbie (we&rsquo;ll help you!) answer these BTS questions and we&rsquo;ll give you a book rec.</p></p></section><section><h2><h2></h2><h2><em><a href="https://www.thenovl.com/warandspeech">War and Speech</a></em> by Don Zolidis<o:p></o:p></h2></h2><p><p>Not everyone can be a winner&hellip;</p><p>Sydney Williams knows this better than anyone.

But when she accepts a position caring for an elderly German woman in the small village of Windyedge, Scotland, it hardly seems like a meaningful contribution. Still, the war feels closer than ever in Windyedge, where Ellen McEwen, a volunteer driver with the Royal Air Force, and Jamie Beaufort-Stuart, a flight leader for the 648 Squadron, are facing a barrage of unbreakable code and enemy attacks they can't anticipate.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Their paths converge when a German pilot lands in Windyedge under mysterious circumstances and plants a key that leads Louisa to an unparalleled discovery: an Enigma machine that translates German code.
