Welcome to Litsy!

I loved all the elements that came together in this book! True crime, historical mysteries, a boarding school....all catnip for this reader. I can't WAIT for the second book to come out!

Book 20 of #MountTBR- I may have to check out Stiefvater‘s other books as I loved this one. I love Puck. She is a feisty and strong character. It had just the right amount of a romance and no love triangle!

I didn‘t need to fall into another series, but I have. While I don‘t think the plot was special, the MC, D.C. Fiona Griffiths definitely is. She had a breakdown as a teenager suffering from Cotard‘s Syndrome and is still affected by it. Fi is a little odd and struggles to respond to social cues. She is also cheeky and funny. I think I was totally charmed by her and will continue with the series. #Booked2018 #MCwithinvisibleillness

This is what Boxing Day looks like in this part of the world. Yes, those little blobs are sea-swimmers, some with santa hats, or dressed as bananas. Of course. It‘s a charity do for the RNLI.

And I‘ve finished this book for #mhroundrobin, so it‘ll be on to you next Faye. It‘s by a concert pianist, living with anxiety, ocd, ptsd, you name it - & it‘s SO well done. And ultimately optimistic. This was my final book for #booked2018 & a great read! 🎉

Such a raw and true look at anxiety and agoraphobia from a candid and relatable point of view. The writing is really captivating and even through the cringe worthy parts, it is hard to put down. This book is honest and brave. #booked2018 #mcwithinvisibleillness

I first read this years ago after watching the film several times and I remember liking it but thinking the film was so much better. I loved it this time round. Great writing and insights. #mcwithinvisibleillness #booked2018

#Booked2018 #MCwithInvisibleIllness completed as Fiona suffers from Cotard's Syndrome. There's also a bonus supporting character with an invisible illness in this installment - Katie is suffering from Motor Neuron Disease. 5⭐

Matt Haig lays it all bare as far as the depressive breakdown he suffered 14 years ago, and the depression and anxiety he has suffered from ever since.

I could relate because I also have an anxiety and panic disorder. Currently one of my medications is on backorder, which means I had to stop taking it cold turkey. Im doing pretty well and I‘m taking joy in the little things, like Starbucks holiday drinks!

It was just as heartbreaking as the first time I read it 💔💔💔

While this is a brutal, tough, unbearable read, I‘m still really glad I reread it. I gave myself more time with it this time around, because last time I just needed to know what would happen. And as a newly finished psychologist with a big interest in traumas, this provides a perspective uni didn‘t teach me about.
