This Weeks Blogspiration is ... What book inspires you?

It's so hard to pick one book when the book(s) that inspire me usually come in a series. Ok ... ok, I'll pick one book series out of my many favorites.

The story follows a teenage girl named Tally Youngblood who lives three hundred years from now in a futuristic city. Previously to the book, our world (known as the "Rusty World" because at the time we have used so much metal that over time had deteriorated and rusted) had collapsed because of the creation of an "oil bug" that caused oil to combust when it came into contact with oxygen. The people who survived the collapse decided that action had to be taken to prevent this happening in the future. The survivors then spread out into cities, where they gradually became self sufficient and eco-friendly, and integrated the operations into the world. One of the main points of the operation is to extend the halo effect to all citizens, which was an idea that beautiful people had better fortune. This "halo effect" helped in reducing disputes and violence. They were not satisfied enough with the results, so they decided to develop a brain lesion (purposely damaged brain tissue) that made people compliant and pleasant. Some people became aware of the operation, and the lesions, and decided that they couldn't live in a place where something of that magnitude was happening. Villages like "The Smoke" were established to give citizens a place to go to avoid the lesions, and to be separated from society. The Smoke was also a place where two outlaw doctors named Maddy and Az studied how people who didn't have the brain damage behaved to determine its effects and possibly discover a cure.

I try to be a wise mom, but sometimes I might sound like an old fuddy-duddy. And not only do I need to remind my kids about the quote below, but I also have to remind myself. Sometimes life gets the best of you and you need to remember that once shit happens, you can only go up for there.

This weeks blogspiration is coming a few days late but when you're right in the middle of moving and planning a Spring Break vacation to Myrtle Beach, life kinda wins --> WINNING!

A book really just takes over my life. I'd love to be in a book right now!

I have plenty of bookish blogspirations but this week I wanted to share a picture that my kids stumbled upon while doing a PA (Public Announcement) for Black History Month. They were to find a picture/video/quote that associates them with BHM. HOWEVER I think this picture speaks volumnes - let's say a 1000 words -

and should be used all year long.

Hope I haven't offended anyone. Have a great week. Until next blogspiration...

And even though I might not know the plot in real life; I do know it in my wip's and ms's thanks to the loved ones I'm surrounded by. Enjoy! Happy Blogspiration my fellow bloggers.

I love this quote! When I'm in the throws of my WIP's, I'm either in love with what is happening between my screen and fingers, sometimes I just like what happens, and sometimes I want to chuck my laptop across the room.
