The rest. I am THE laziest, for reals.<br /><br />I got Texts from Jane Eyre over Christmas! I feel like it was half price but that could be a lie... There was definitely some kind of deal on it anyway! I can't decide if I want to keep it or not yet (because... So funny! but, space...) but if not then you can totally have it! And yes read Kick Ass, so gooooood!<br /><br />See, hers isn't so much 'I'm going to do bad things because I wanna' it's more like 'oh I'm having a manic episode rn but I'm really enjoying it and it's making me super creative so I'm not going to take lithium because it might reduce my creativity even though it will also likely stop a REALLY bad depressive spell' BUT BUT BUT I should probably say that I've only had depression and not mania (mania? I feel like there's a better term for it...) so I don't know how good that is, only how bad depression is and how I'd do literally anything not to experience it again... does that make sense? Touched with Fire sounds good though! Will have to check it out.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-9952722818126416952016-04-04T19:24:14.584+01:002016-04-04T19:24:14.584+01:00Yay, more mini reviews to read!

I am a big fan of the mini review these days, I'm such a frickin' lazy blog lady now, seriously.<br /><br />OMG Texts from Jane Eyre is finally OUT! Totally missed that happening, the American version's been on my wishlist since... I want to say years ago?... but the English edition has taken so frickin' long to come out, dude! I must read Kick Ass, I have the movie but that was mostly due to Aaron T-J being in it, so... *no shame*<br /><br />It's so frustrating when people get mental health advice then don't follow it (especially medication), but... I kinda get it too, because when I'm in that place I get super weird and self-destructive. Like, "dark films are probably a bad idea right now... I'll see how many I can watch in a week" or "miserable music will definitely make me feel shit... I'll listen to it every night before bed". Mental illness, man. Devious little shit, it is. If you want a look at creativity, Touched With Fire by Kay Redfield Jamison is amazing. It's more academic, but very readable and mostly about mercurial artists and poets and writers of days gone by, who are ALWAYS fun to read about.Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07246472269477492583noreply@blogger.com
