I'm still reading Broken by Kelly Armstrong because I stopped reading it when I came off nights at work and had to work days againn :( I should probably start again haha!
"And just like the movies, we play out our last scene. You won't cry, I won't scream."
"There's just chaos, and violence, and random unpredictable evil that comes out of no where. && rips you to shreads."
I've read 'In Stitches', but wasn't overly impressed if I'm honest. It was okay. Perhaps it's just not my style of book.
At the moment I'm reading Wild Swans by Jung Chang, which is really interesting.
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
^Mm, I'm finding it quite hard to read so far. It's like he's trying too hard to be funny and it just doesn't flow that well. But I haven't read that much, hopefully it will get better.
Just finished Mind Race - I enjoyed it, easy and informative (though I did study bipolar disorder for an essay and have read a lot of journal articles) so it was quite easy for me.
I am trying to decide what to read next....got so many to read but dono what to pick up!
You made up your mind to torture mine!

Just finished The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Truly amazing, as usual. And I just started I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell. It's really weird, but kind of quirky and fun and interesting.
I'm getting Tracey Gold's memoir in the mail soon. So I'll start that when I get it.
'In Stitches' was alright, I guess. Nothing amazing. It improved a bit once I got into it, there were some good bits but overall it wasn't wonderful. Worth a read but only if you don't have to buy it, have nothing better to read, and don't get upset by the occasional bitching about self-harm / attempted suicide, lol.
Now about to start 'The Ninth Life of Louis Drax' - Liz Jensen.
I just read Monochrome Days - was okay, not as good as some of the other books in this mental health series, but quick and informative read with relatively up to date stats.
Think my next book will be Deliver Me From Evil By Alloma Gilbert - but will see how the first few chapters are else may read Skin Game or Bridget Jones's Diary - just not too sure what I want to be reading just now..

Just read Lords and Ladiesby Terry Pratchett, it was absolutely brilliant. Easily one of the best in the Discworld series.
Currently reading Fornication: The Red Hot Chili Peppers Storyby Jeff Apter. I'm only a few pages in, but so far so good.
Next on my list (which seems to get longer every time I read something, somehow): The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction by Walter Benjamin. I'm not entirely sure exactly what it's about, but I thought it seemed interesting, so we'll see.
just reading "notes left behind" by brooke and desserich
it looks sad but also very inspiring:)
its about a young girl who had brain cancer... and just what she taught others. after she was diagnosed she hid notes to her parents and sister around the house for them to find after she has gone.... this was when she was just 6 years old!!! She sounds like a pretty amazing girl if you ask me...
has anyone else read this book yet?
sometimes being strong means not holding back the tears but letting them fall

Just read Lords and Ladiesby Terry Pratchett, it was absolutely brilliant. Easily one of the best in the Discworld series.
I've just finished that too, amazing how long it takes when all I can read is the odd thirty minutes on the train! I love the 'witches' series, the interactions between Granny and Nanny are brilliant.
Just finished reading "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath. It was a good read, but hard to get my head around and keep up to track! It's about a girl who ended up in a mental hospital.
Just reading "Halfway House" by Katharine Noel which is similar sort of thing. This girl has a breakdown and ends up being diagnosed with bipolar. I'm really into books about people's mental health atm, fiction or non-fiction as it helps me understand me kinda thing!
I'm also reading on the side "Our Little Secret" by Duncan Fairhurst which is one of those depressing abuse ones, but it's on my uni reading list so thought I'd get it over with!
