MY GOODREADS REVIEW

YOUNG ADULT

STANDALONE

CONTEMPORARY
MENTAL HEALTH
Published March 5th - Edelweiss

This book was a mess, and ended up adding even more stigma to schizophrenia. The two reviewers who have experience with the professional side of mental health services rated it badly, too, as well as one other who has a personal connection to schizophrenia. The author said in his introduction that he felt okay about writing a character with schizophrenia because he himself had OCD as a teenager. I don't understand the connection. People who have no first hand experience with people who are schizophrenic need to stop writing main characters with the disorder. Period.

MIDDLE GRADE

STANDALONE

CONTEMPORARY

FAMILY/FRIENDSHIP/HONESTY

MENTAL HEALTH/DRUG ABUSE

Published March 26th - Netgalley

The first half was boring drivel, but it picked up in the second half. However, like I always say... if kids drop it like a hot potato in the beginning because they are disinterested, what good is it? Also, in the second half a concept was changed to accommodate two instances, but it made no sense and made the concept void, and it was a major concept. The way the author writes dialogue is awkward, too.

This will be my next ARC. I have a question mark after YA because even though it is a coming of age story, no one has it shelved as YA.

BOOKS I THINK WOULD MAKE GREAT ANIME

THE BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY

I still have to finish reading Ptolemy's Gate for Dancing with Books' FIFTEEN YEARS OF BARTIMAEUS READALONG. The Djinnis in this series in their multiple forms alone would be a treasure trove of imagery!

GOODREADS

This Middle Grade was everything! All the Japanese woodland spirits would be an anime treat for the eyes! Infact, when I was reading it I saw it as anime in my mind's eye.

GOODREADS

This is a Middle Grade retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, and there are many different kinds of giants described. I think they would be an animator's dream come true!

THE FAIRYLAND QUINTET

These book trailers should give you an idea how fabulous this series would be as an anime!

THIRTY OBSCURE ANIME ADAPTATIONS FROM WESTERN LITERATURE

My son and I must have been exchanging brainwaves last night because when I started thinking about this anime top ten topic he messaged me this link. Ha ha. It's an interesting article!
