#DustOffYourBookshelf : Found

#DustOffYourBookshelf

Dust off your Bookshelf was originally created to share books that have been on my “to read pile” for a long time. Some so long I’ve forgotten that they are there, and have purchased duplicate copies. Each week I will share on my blog as well as Instagram a new title. Some may be newer and some so old I have forgotten they are there. I do have issues with buying books and never reading them. I’m hoping that by share them I will be motivated to read them. Plus it’s always fun to find new books hiding within the bookshelves. Feel free to join in and share on Instagram or your blog. Just let me know so I can check out your choice this week too. Just use #DustOffYourBookshelf

My book this week 
 I picked this one up as a kindle when it first came out. It's still sitting on my kindle with every intention of getting read but never seem to get around to it. It sounds interesting. It's currently a freebie at the time of posting this.

Brenda L. Harper 
(Goodreads)(Amazon)

Dylan lives in a domed city. Her life is regulated by rules and routine, a life that never really knows any conflict. Her future seems written for her. In a week, she will take the final test that will decide what her role will be in society. Will she be a nurturer or a historian? Will she teach or will she lead? 

She plays by the rules and hopes that she will be allowed to become a guardian, to watch over a group of children from infancy to adolescence like her own guardian, Davida. However, on testing day, Dylan is shocked when she is taken outside the dome that protects her beloved city, Genero, and told to survive three days on her own. It doesn’t take much survival knowledge to know that two bottles of water and a few boxes of protein crackers will not last three days. Dylan has been brought outside the dome to die. 

As she struggles to survive, Dylan learns things about herself she had never known before. Like the fact that she desperately does not want to die. Or the fact that she has the power to heal herself. And worst, she learns that there are more lies the council of Genero told her when she meets a creature she has never seen before. A boy. 

As Wyatt and Dylan struggle to survive together, Dylan also begins to discover that there are those who want her dead, and others who will do almost anything to capture her. Alive. 

Feel free to dig through your shelves and share what you find. 
Please leave a comment telling me where I can check it out.
