My Dusty Bookshelf
I've got an addiction for adding books to my bookshelf but never getting around to them. I'm sure I'm not the only one either. It's just so easy with all the new books to forget about the older ones. I'd like to start reading some of the books I've had for years and just haven't read. I thought this would be a good way to share and rekindle some interest in my dusty books. Plus I love giving books a little extra spotlight when I can.
I've read the Dragonriders trio but never read the whole series which I think it's high time I do and I've had this one on my kindle for years. It's actually had to move to a new kindle a few times. Hopefully soon I'll get to it.
Dragondawn by Anne McCaffrey
(Goodreads)
Synopsis
The beautiful planet Pern seemed a paradise to its new colonists - until unimaginable terror turned it into hell. Suddenly deadly spores were falling like silver threads from the sky, devouring everything - and everyone - in their path. It began to look as if the colony, cut off from Earth and lacking the resources to combat the menace, was doomed.
Then some of the colonists noticed that the small, dragonlike lizards that inhabited their new world were joining the fight against Thread, breathing fire on it and teleporting to safety. If only, they thought, the dragonets were big enough for a human to ride and intelligent enough to work as a team with a rider...
And so they set their most talented geneticist to work to create the creatures Pern so desperately needed - Dragons!
How is your reading going? Anything interesting that's been sitting on your shelf a long time.

My plan this year is to get through all of my physical books that have been collecting dust on my shelf. There are a lot there... so it's gonna take some dedication. I've never heard of this book or series before. You will have to review it when you read it. BTW, are you on tsu? It says you have an account on there but it's inactive.

ooh I love this idea! I did a post recently where I basically whined about not getting to any of the books I bought over the past few years. I mean…a tiny fraction of them only. it's bad. It's gotten o the point where I don't even know / follow the main awesome series. Last year I read Vampire Academy books and loved them, still have to tread the last two. This year I really want to read a few more series like Throne of Glass and the Grisha series..oh there are so many! lol. I love this though and that book looks like such an oldie but goodie. I have tons of those, especially fantasy ones that are so random and probably such forgotten gems. :D
