So if you want to beat the heat with some literary treats, all you have to do is tune into Sync weekly. And download titles that’ll stimulate your mind. Let the readers take you to Cloud Nine. Take a stroll or recline, dine, sip some wine. While feeling fine and listening to every line.
Missing weekly deadlines means missing the cool titles for each week you don’t check in. So be sure to sign up with Sync to get reminders so you’re never late for any expiration date.
