#readbetter

I used to go to book stores before the pandemic whether I plan to a book or not. One thing I've come to really appreciate is the privilege of having a number of book stores in the community where I grew up in and the influence I got from my mother who also loves reading. Now I'm far away from home and my most consistent friends I got are the books that I brought with me. #books #booksofinstagram #readbetter #readingisfun #readingcommunity #ShadowoftheWind #carlosruizzafon https://www.instagram.com/p/CVW9EParaz9/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a story about a group of kids who have the special ability to communicate telephatically. For them it's the most natural thing, but for the community they live in it's an unacceptable deviation that incites disgust, malice and hatred. The protagonist is David Strorm. In the beginning of the novel, David befriends Sophia who also lives in their secluded farming community. He soon discovers that she has six toes. This simple deformity forced her and her family to flee and seek refuge to the Fringes where mutated plants and creatures are rife. It is when his younger sister Petra grows up and exhibits telephatic abilities that he himself has to escape along with Petra and his telepathic friends. --The Chrysalids by John Wyndham #readbooksin2020 #readmore #readbetter #readbookseveryday #dystopianfiction #youngadultfiction #readingisfun #bookphotography #bookstagram #iamastorycatcher #stories #fiction #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CBsudNWAJcM/?igshid=74sotp9fmdaf
