Please leave a comment, let me know if you've read any of these or if you have any other recommendations, I would love to hear about either/both!
I really want to read Challenger Deep! Nice list, I've seen a few of these characters with mental illness lists this week and they've all been really different.

I haven't read any of these, but I did just recently buy I Was Here, so hopefully will be reading that one soon. Really good choice of topic for this week, an important one too. Happy Reading! :)
