Guest Post by Simone Pond
Award-winning author of young adult dystopian fiction.
In my dystopian book series, the elite class has annihilated
modern society in order to manufacture a new world in a highly modernized and
controlled environment. Books no longer exist – except in remote villages far
from the city centers.
What? No books?
What if you had five minutes to grab ten books to save from
extinction, what would you pick?
And yes, you only have five minutes.
1) The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
2) Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
3) Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O’Dell
4) Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
5) Witching Hour by Anne Rice
6) Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White
7) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
9) Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

THE TORRENT BOOK BLURB:
Grace has survived Chief Morray’s attempt to keep her
trapped inside the mainframe, but at a terrible cost: leaving her mother
behind. Giving up training at the academy in order to wait for Ava’s return.
Grace wants to do the right thing, but it’s never that simple. While Ava
struggles against Morray in the virtual reality, Grace is left alone in the
real world to fight her own battles. There’s a new corrupt authority figure. A
regional council to sway. A war to stop. And a promise to keep to a precious young
soul. How can Grace save everyone, including herself?
