reality…

There's still time to download the two offerings for week #6. They are Carter Finally Gets It by Brent Crawford and She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith.
Awkward freshman Will Carter endures many painful moments during his
first year of high school before realizing that nothing good comes
easily, focus is everything, and the payoff is usually incredible.
Goldsmith’s eighteenth-century comedy concerns a young lady who poses as
a serving girl to win the heart of a young gentleman too shy to court
ladies of his own class.
These titles will be available through Wed. July 10th. Get them here.
