Top 5 Wednesday- Mental Health

Hello! This is another late post, but I wanted to out this put up as well. This meme is from This Goodreads Group. I have not read a ton about Mental Health, but I found five.


1- Turtles All  the Way Down by John Green

Rep- OCD

This is my favorite John Green Novel! I felt the representation of OCD presented in this was excellent, but I don't know if it's positive or not as I don't suffer from OCD myself. How OCD is woven into this book helped me see Aza as in a new light because I saw what she went through.

2- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Rep- Anxiety

Yeah yeah I'll make this quick. Cath's Anxiety is all over this book and I personally felt this was a great way to show how anxiety can affect someone. 

3-  Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

Rep- Anxiety

This was another book where anxiety was  represented by the main character Eliza. As with the previous book, I felt this was a great way to show the effects of Anxiety on a person.

4- Dear Evan Hansen by Val Emmich

Rep- Anxiety

In Dear Evan Hansen, we see Evan an anxious teen who tells a lie and then he doesn't come clean until towards the end of the book. I felt this book was middle of the road, not the best  or the most positive representation, however; I think that it could be worse.

5- The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I read this book years ago but I think Mental Health is largely represented  in the main character Charlie.  From what I remember, this is a positive representation.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday- Book characters linked to Halloween candy!!

Welcome Back! I know I’ve been saying that I will be back and blogging more. Life happened last week, I had an appointment last week, and I just got lazy after that. I’m planning to be back more this week and get posting again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl .  This was born out of a love of lists and bringing the bookish community together. This week is a Halloween Freebie. I’m not into the horror or mystery genres. I wanted to do my top 8 Halloween candies and pick a character that reminds me of them. 1- Chocolate Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas because he is smooth. This was a no brainier for me. Rhys is smooth, and he always knows what to say. He is charming and flirtatious so he was reminds me of chocolate no question. 2- Reese’s cups Claudia from Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills because she is sweet but has the determination to get what she wants. I read this book ...
