Ugh! How is it Monday again already?! It was such a busy week last week and a whirl wind of a weekend at the Boston Teen Author Festival that I feel like I need another weekend to recover.  As much as I love attending these big author functions, as someone who has anxiety, it is truly a struggle. I ended up with such a massive headache by the end that it was difficult to drive home. I really do find myself lucky to meet some really amazing authors and people but it is a lot for me, especially having to face it all on my own with no friend to act as a buffer for me.  So I had to take time on Sunday to try to catch up on chores and attempt to recover, I think I will need a few more days, all I want to do is curl up in a quiet corner alone with my books.

In other news, it is Banned Book Week! I have some banned books to share with you all week this week.  I am currently reading Go Ask Alice, one of the more controversial books in recent history.  What banned or challenged book will you be reading this week?

  1. The BTA looked like a blast but I hear you. Those things are fun but draining. Especially when you have anxiety. There’s so many people and busyness going on around you that it can be exhausting! I hope this week is a little quieter and you can relax and read.

    1. I am really fortunate to have these events around me but I really need a buffer between me and all the people! I think maybe next year I will either stay the night up there somewhere (even though it is only an hour and a half away) or take the train in. Then I won't have to worry about parking or driving.
