lets talk about #firstworldproblems when i should be doing class work

sup ma dudes. its monday and yall know what that means! it means im sitting in class writing this instead of working! this is clearly the better use of my time and i thought i would do a little somethin different. dye my hair purple, speak in a british accent, shake it up a bit. just kidding d. i was thinking...jk no i wasnt. i was doing the opposite of thinking, i was floating in a void of nothingness. because thats what we do in school. alright im kind of just rambling this wont be a book review so if thats what you're here for go do something else love ya bye. okay now that we have weeded out the fake fans lets have a chit chat. so i have a mile long book shelf in my room and i was thinking yesterday about all the new books i wanted to read and i thought...i have no money. then i looked at my dusty ass shelf and thought...lets sell some of these books. then i slit my throat with a butter knife and went all

then i came back to planet earth and had a pep talk with myself, there are a few of these that sucked lets be real and quite a few you will never read again, just sell them. and i agreed with my inner voice that a trip to half price books with someone over the age of 18 ( apparently you need to be an adult to sell books..) so i m going to be getting some new books, trouble is i have no clue what to read. so my friends please i beg of you comment and let me know what my next literary obsession should be!!!! also super fun story time ive been waiting for the third part of this series to come out for months and when this woman said beginning of 2017 she didnt mean january....or february....or march. i get writing is difficult but goodness the sequel ended with someone being dragged into the woods AND I NEED CLOSURE! also jennifer l armentrou if you ever read this respond to my freaking email please and thank you. i guess i should probably get back to work thank, yall for sticking with me through these dry days when we have no time for reading because learning is important. have a fabulous day my lovlies!

The Book Of Ivy

helllloooooo people of the internet. welcome to the part of the review where i talk about my boring life to people who really could care less and just wanna hear about the damn books, if you are interested in my happiness thank you kind human. you are appreciated. if you are wishing id just get on with it please know you are the reason i cry myself to sleep every thursday. so i finished this series (two books) in 24 hours. ya i have no life. ill jump into the review. then off a high balcony.  the book of ivy by Amy Engel is a dystopian novel which takes place in westfall, a little city filled with political issues. westfall is one of the last cities to stay standing after plagues, famine, bombs, and more plague hit the globe. theres a crap ton of issues between the founding families like while one wants a fair government the other is a tyrant. in the end the tyrant wins and proclaims that on the 16th-18th birthdays of the teens they will marry into a different social class (he did this to make sure if the other families wanted to rise up their children would be married to their enemies and on the other side) so ivy westfall turns 16 and goes of to be wed against her will and trust me when i say she is not a happy camper, she is being married off to the son he president. basically three generations after the whole tyranny vs. democracy issue they are forcing their children into marriage to ensure peace. here's the catch: ivy has been trained by her father and her mission is to kill her soon to be husband bishop lattimer. here's the OTHER catch...she may just start feeling things for the boy she has been raised to hate and trained to kill. DUN DUN DUN. okay so. first of all i like how this dystopian world is set up. there is a lot of living of the land but they are also aware of things that existed before the shit hit the fan, such as bras. its very funny to be in a dystopian setting hunting for food and mention something as normal as a bra. another thing i enjoyed about this book is when ivy and bishop are forced into marriage they act fumbly and awkward and boyy oh boy did i scream THAT WOULD BE ME. they often poke fun at it too, like when they're first married they just look at each other..."so do you want a sandwich?". welcome to married life ladies and gents, its a blast. the characters are super well written and have lots of depth behind them, i think the best part of this book is that ya by reading the back cover you can figure out they probably fall in love and shes conflicted because shes been raised to hate him blah blah blah. but theres so much more to the stories, family issues that have stayed buried are brought to light and things get shaken up. it's a fairly quick read and nothing to complicated that it will leave you confuse, it's nice if you want an easy read that's still interesting. i would recommend reading this if you like matched or defy. have a fabulous life
