SPARK CONVERSATION

5 Self-Care Tips for Mental Health Awareness Month

5/10/2021

1 Comment

​I’m often asked why I write books about mental health.  My recent books--The Castle School (for Troubled Girls), What Kind of Girl, and A Danger to Herself and Others—touch on different aspects of mental heath including grief, eating disorders, self-harm, and anxiety.  I think we write about the things that are important to us, and mental health and self-care are topics that are important to me—ones about which there is always more to learn and more stories to tell.
 
People talk a lot about self-care as a tool to help manage our mental health.  But of course, self-care can mean so many different things—from asking for help, to seeing a therapist, to carving out fifteen minutes for your skin-care ritual each night.  I’m definitely not an expert on the subject—there are countless therapists and teachers and counselors who know much more about this sort of thing than I—but here are a few of my personal favorite ways to practice self-care.

Furyborn by Claire Legrand eBook | Only $2.99!

Picture
The first book in the instant New York Times bestselling series, the Empirium Trilogy!

Furyborn is an epic YA fantasy about two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.

When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and one of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed as the Blood Queen...unless the trials kill the queen first.
One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable―until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.

As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world―and of each other.

A great choice if you love:
  • Epic fantasy and dark fantasy YA books
  • Fans of To Kill A Kingdom and Ash Princess
  • Lovers of dual POVs and epic world building
  • Those who enjoy fiction about strong girls and women

I'm Not Dying with You Tonight by Kimberly Jones and Gilly Segal eBook | Only $2.99

Picture
​The New York Times Bestseller!

"An absolute page turner, I'm Not Dying with You Tonight is a compelling and powerful novel that is sure to make an impact. "
―Angie Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give

An NAACP Image Award Nominee, I'm Not Dying with You Tonight follows two teen girls―one black, one white―who have to confront their own assumptions about racial inequality as they rely on each other to get through the violent race riot that has set their city on fire with civil unrest.
​Lena has her killer style, her awesome boyfriend, and a plan. She knows she's going to make it big. Campbell, on the other hand, is just trying to keep her head down and get through the year at her new school.

When both girls attend the Friday-night football game, what neither expects is for everything to descend into sudden mass chaos. Chaos born from violence and hate. Chaos that unexpectedly throws them together.

They aren't friends. They hardly understand the other's point of view. But none of that matters when the city is up in flames, and they only have each other to rely on if they're going to survive the night.

This book is perfect for:​
  • Sparking conversations about prejudice and the racial tension that exists in America
  • Parents and educators looking for multicultural and African American books for teens
  • Fans of Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, and Jason Reynolds
Buy for $2.99

Even If We Break by Marieke Nijkamp
 eBook | Only $1.99

Picture
"Immersive and captivating. Thrilling in every sense of the word." ―KAREN M. MCMANUS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us is Lying and One of Us is Next

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp comes a shocking new thriller about a group of friends who go to a cabin to play a murder mystery game...only to have the game turned against them.

FIVE friends go to a cabin.
FOUR of them are hiding secrets.
THREE years of history bind them.
TWO are doomed from the start.
ONE person wants to end this.
NO ONE IS SAFE.
For five friends, this was supposed to be one last getaway before going their separate ways―a chance to say goodbye to each other, and to the game they've been playing for the past three years. But they're all dealing with their own demons, and they're all hiding secrets.

Finn doesn't trust anyone since he was attacked a few months ago. Popular girl Liva saw it happen and did nothing to stop it. Maddy was in an accident that destroyed her sports career. Carter is drowning under the weight of his family's expectations. Ever wants to keep the game going for as long as they can, at all costs.

When the lines between game and reality start to blend with deadly consequences, it's a race against time before it's game over―forever.

Are you ready to play?

Perfect for readers who love:
  • ​Teenage mystery books or YA horror 
  • LGBT stories about intersectional groups of friends
  • Karen McManus, Gretchen McNeil, or Natasha Preston
