Mental Health Awareness Month. 37 YA Books About Mental Health

37 YA books about mental health

To continue my journey of bringing awareness to mental health, I compiled a list of thirty seven YA books about mental health. I haven't read all of these books and I can't say if the mental health representation is well done or not, but I did a great deal of research (aka I spent hours reading Goodreads reviews) to be sure that the themes mentioned are actually portrayed in the story. I tried to include a panoply of topics regarding mental health so that everyone can find her/his story. I'm so sorry if I left someone out. 💛 Ps. There might be some spoilers.

Hello book lovers! How was you week? 😉 After some lovely spring days, last week brought back a few rainy wintry days (I'm not complaining, since it's easier for me to work while listening to the falling rain and the blowing wind). Now, it's a summery day outside and I feel I'll spend my day complain about how hot it's. 😜 Anyway, less weather talk and more bookish one. Let's see what I've been up to.

Mental Health Awarness Month. How Books Affect My Mental Health


Last week, I learned that May is the Mental Health Awareness Month (I did some research and this is mostly celebrated in the United States; however, even though I live in Europe, I want to join this initiative) and decided that I would be sharing some discussion posts on mental health/illness, focusing on books. On the first post of this discussion series, I'll be talking about how I use books to stay afloat, even though sometimes they also make me feel broken inside.

How's everyone doing on this beautiful spring day? 🌷 At least here near the sea, it's a nice spring day. I'm still going through a blogging slump, but I'm forcing myself out of it. Since May is the Mental Health Awareness month, I decided that I'll be sharing a few post discussing mental illness/health - of course, books will play a huge role on these posts since I'll be sharing with you how books keep me afloat (and how sometimes they don't).

Seven Book-to-Series Adaptations I'd Love to Watch


Last week, it was reported that Netflix bought the rights of fifty literary projects. This book-buying spree includes Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows, both set in the Grishaverse created by Leigh Bardugo and several novels written by Roald Dahl. I'm not always fond of when books are turned into television adaptations, may it be TV series or films, because there's always something missing or the characters and the settings are too different from how I pictured them in my mind. However, today I'm pushing my doubts and fears aside and I'm sharing with you seven books I'd love to be turned into television series.

Hello book lovers. How are you doing? 😊 Since I'm almost done with my thesis, I decided to give myself an indulgent week. But those are not only the good news. As I told you before, I'm going through a blogging slump. To battle my lack of will to write and create content, I sat in front of my laptop and forced myself to do it. Not saying the slump is over, but I did share some new posts!

The Most Delicious Book Tag. The Pancake Book Tag

I've a confession to make: I never ate pancakes. I tried to bake them many times, but there's always something wrong with the batter or then it gets stuck on the skillet. However, I could not pass up the opportunity to take part in this delicious book tag created by Becky @  Blogs of a Bookaholic. I mean, how could I ignore an opportunity to drool at yummy pancakes and ramble about books? 🥞
