Mental Health Awareness Month. Things I Do For Self Care


Thank you so much for all the support you're giving to my Mental Health Awareness articles. You've no idea how much it means to me. 💜 This will probably be my last post on the series, but I decided to discuss mental health and books in my blog a lot more, so I might share a few more posts in the future. Today I'm sharing things I do for self-care aka things I do to try to keep my mental health in shape

Welcome to another Sunday Post! This post comes later than usual, but for a very good reason: I've just added the final touches to my thesis and I'm about to send it for one last correction. 😄 *fingers crossed that I don't have to make any major changes and that I can start getting ready to defend it, even if just thinking about it gives me a panic attack*

ARC Review // Five Midnights

Author: Ann Dávila Cardinal
Publisher: Tor Teen
Published: June 4th 2019
Pages: 304 pages [Kindle edition]

Five friends cursed. Five deadly fates. Five nights of retribución.

If Lupe Dávila and Javier Utierre can survive each other’s company, together they can solve a series of grisly murders sweeping though Puerto Rico. But the clues lead them out of the real world and into the realm of myths and legends. And if they want to catch the killer, they'll have to step into the shadows to see what's lurking there—murderer, or monster?

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).
