#Dust Off Your Bookshelf

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

New Year all new books to read on my dusty shelf. I have a slight one-click problem which keeps my shelves full of dusty books. This year I hope to read more of them. 

I read this one back in high school when it was new. Christopher Pike was one of my favorite horror writers when I was a teenager. I have most of his book in one form or another on my shelf and figured it would be fun to dust one of my favorites from the 90's. Decided that I might have Fall right into it today. I've baked some yummy cinnamon apple sourdough and have hot coffee. 

My book choice this week: 
Fall Into Darkness 
by Christopher Pike 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
The trial was for murder. Sharon McKay stands accused. She was supposed to have killed a girl named Ann Rice.  

Synopsis
The trial is for murder. Ann Rice is dead. Her best friend, Sharon McKay, stands accused. But there is no body. And the three witnesses to the crime only heard what happened, and did not see it. Nevertheless, the prosecution is almost certain of victory. Ann was alone in the dark with Sharon on top of the cliff when Ann fell the 500 feet into the torrential river that claimed her life. There was only one route leading to the cliff, and all the witnesses can remember hearing the girls arguing before the fall occurred. Sharon's only defense is that Ann committed suicide. But everyone who knew Ann, including Sharon, said she was not the suicidal type.

And they were right.

Ann was much more than suicidal.

She was obsessed. 
Feel free to dig through your shelves and share what you find.
