Hett i hyllan #15
I dag hänger jag på "Hett i Hyllan" som startade hos Bokföring enligt Monika. Hon utmanar oss att visa upp bortglömda böcker från våra bokhyllor.
Så här skriver hon: Jag bara gissar nu, men jag tror inte jag är ensam om att ha en del böcker i hyllan som stått där i evinnerliga tider. Är det inte dags att de där, halvt, bortglömda böckerna får ta lite plats och synas? Jo, det tycker jag. Verkligen. Därför kommer de, en efter en, att dyka upp här varje torsdag under rubriken Hett i hyllan. Lite lagom tvetydigt, eller hur? Vad har du för dolda skatter i hyllan?
Boken jag har valt i dag var väldigt omskriven när den kom. Bokbloggare och Booktubers världen över verkade älska den här serien och jag kunde inte motstå frestelsen.
Nu, x antal år senare, har jag fortfarande inte läst del ett i dennna dystopiska trilogi. Boken jag talar om är The Darkest Minds av Alexandra Bracken.
When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government “rehabilitation camp.” She might have survived the mysterious disease that had killed most of America’s children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they could not control.
Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. She is on the run, desperate to find the only safe haven left for kids like her—East River. She joins a group of kids who have escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can’t risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may mean giving up her only chance at having a life worth living.
