Sunday Funday: TrekAThon - Enemies and Allies - Announcement & TBR

Happy Sunday Funday everyone! Today, I'm featuring my TBR for TrekAThon which will run for the entire month of July and is hosted by Louise @ Foxes and Fairytales .  As you probably guessed, it's Star Trek themed, particularly the Original Series.  You can follow the Twitter account  here  and share updates by using the hashtag  here .  Anyway, this is the story: You have been assigned to the USS Enterprise.

In order to protect the ship and your fellow crewmen, you must decide who to attempt an alliance...
