Here is my post about joining the challenge. I've also included links to suggested reading lists. http://booksareportablemagic.blogspot.com/2014/09/suicide-and-mental-illness-awareness.htmlJulie Cornewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148264426222521916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-32176209949108360732014-08-01T14:58:28.165-05:002014-08-01T14:58:28.165-05:00Hi Amber!

I'm glad you found the post again, too. :) I'll be posting a list of books / movies soon, still hammering out some details and trying to get some guest posters. This is meant to be a simple and fun way to spread awareness of mental illness - nothing formal. If you read a book (or watch a movie) that has a suicidal character, or a mentally ill character, feel free to make comment/review on it. Or you can be more hard-core and read non-fiction. Anything goes, as long as YOU feel it increases your awareness of mental illness. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-63044160876025666672014-08-01T14:54:08.816-05:002014-08-01T14:54:08.816-05:00Agreed!

Personally, I think I'm going to go with a Sylvia Plath theme for myself this year.

And I'll also put up a post with more clear instructions as well as some suggestions for books / movies. But, the basic answer is YES, any book / movie / show / essay that contains a character or subject of mental illness or suicide counts! :) <br /><br />I'll be back soon with more!

Who knew the words "book blog challenges" would bring it right up?<br /><br />Onto a more serious note, I am so happy you're having this theme/challenge. Suicide and mental health are very important topics to me and it's sad how there isn't more done about it. I really love the idea of this raising awareness. <br /><br />You can definitely sign me up. I'll review a few books for sure because there are a lot of suicide/mental health books I've been wanting to read. I am a little confused on what you mean by "promote suicide and mental illness awareness". <br /><br />Do you mean any book/movie/etc. where a character is dealing with suicidal thoughts, a character has committed suicide, a character deals with mental illnesses, etc? I just want to be clear I understand what to review.<br /><br />Once again, this is such a great idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-9495720476282998012014-07-20T19:38:37.224-05:002014-07-20T19:38:37.224-05:00 So glad you are spreading awareness.
