#Dust Off Your Bookshelf Thursday

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. 

This week I decided to share a book that has been on my shelf since it came out in 2011. I haven't read it in that long and I'm due for a re-read. 

My book choice this week: 

Beautiful Disaster  
by Jamie McGuire 
Add to (Goodreads)

Opening Lines
Everything in the room screamed I didn't belong.

Teaser 
"Why on earth would you want me to stay with you, anyway?" I asked.
Travis shrugged, shoving his hand in his pockets. "I don't know. Everything's better when you're around." 

Synopsis

The new Abby Abernathy is a good girl. She doesn’t drink or swear, and she has the appropriate number of cardigans in her wardrobe. Abby believes she has enough distance from the darkness of her past, but when she arrives at college with her best friend, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand. 

Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs—and wants—to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in a floating fight ring, and his days as the ultimate college campus charmer. Intrigued by Abby’s resistance to his appeal, Travis tricks her into his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis’s apartment for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.

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

Please leave a comment telling me where I can check it out.
