2014 Mental Illness Advocacy Challenge - Wrap Up

 

For the second year in a row I signed up for the Mental Illness Advocacy Challenge hosted on Opinions of a Wolf.  It is a fantastic way to push yourself outside your normal genres and read something that makes an impact. Check out my original sign up post.

 

 

I signed up to read 4 books again this year and did complete the challenge this time!

 

Here are the books I read for the MIA Challenge (links to review):

1. Still Alice - Alzheimer's Disease

2. Not Just Spirited - Sensory Processing Disorder

3. Down Came the Rain - Post Partum Depression

4. Dependent - PTSD & Depression

 

 

Things I learned from this challenge:

~ I enjoy reading difficult topic books on occasion

~ Reading these books caused me to appreciate the health and support that I have

While I have really enjoyed and appreciated this challenge over the past two years, I don't plan to sign up this next year.  I have many other challenges I plan to do instead.  With that said, I do already have a couple of books that still fit this challenge and will be reading them next year, I just don't plan to officially join.
