so-soThis was okay.
Actress Diane Keaton explores her relationship with her mentally ill, alcoholic brother.
A short audiobook that I'm glad to be done with.
Onward!
pickI really enjoyed this one, as I do most Maggie O'Farrells! I suppose the misunderstood mental illness storyline is not completely new but this was well done without being too heavyhanded, I think. And her writing is just so good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickThis book. Once I started, I could not put it down. Anne Deveson writes about her son Jonathan‘s lived experience of schizophrenia, focusing on the impact it had on her and the family. Deeply moving, tragic and devastating. Absolutely outstanding and essential reading for anyone wanting to better understand chronic mental health issues. Vale Anne Deveson (and her daughter, writer Georgia Blain).
Ooh tough, so I'm relying on Google for suggestions. The tagged book sounds funny. I'm adding to my list!

Had one of those blissful days with @Rissreads yesterday where we met up at the Elizabeth‘s second hand book warehouse, browsed and rummaged, then followed it up with a decadent lunch. This is my little haul 📚. I was so happy to find the tagged book & can‘t wait to read it.
pickAbsolutely flew through this. Each chapter covers a different person's life and mental illness. She includes lots of different perspectives so you begin to understand all the narratives that can exist around one experience. Loved. The parts where Aviv includes her own experiences and thoughts on both eating disorders and using antidepressants are fascinating. Would recommend to anyone.
Tell me why I keep picking up copies of The Bell Jar every time I go thrifting even though I already own like 6 copies? I keep forgetting and just grab it. 😂 Anyway, I'm FINALLY going to read it today!
