When I whent into school on my first day, I kept telling myself to to just keep my head high and don't sulk. I really felt as if I was reading Ginger's story. Now I've got some great new friends as well as improving the friendships I already had and getting rid of toxic ones. Ginger Snaps was life changing for me. Thank you Cathy for writing Ginger Snaps; I never could have moved on without it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-61557207562623246812016-05-24T09:49:16.769+01:002016-05-24T09:49:16.769+01:00I think thats official ..cathy cassidy books are i...I think thats official ..cathy cassidy books are inspirational and adorableAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-28755884546481834962016-05-23T17:07:28.899+01:002016-05-23T17:07:28.899+01:00Throughout my friendship and self-confidence strug...Throughout my friendship and self-confidence struggles in year seven, I felt like Gingersnaps was my life story. My copy of the book is read and underlined and slightly wet after being dropped in the bath a few times, but it got me through so much. I've even got a ragtag group of misfits for a friendship group at the moment, just like Ginger, and the Shannon equivalent in my life has indeed moved on to someone else and forgotten about me completely. I spend a good while that year hoping for a Sam Taylor to come and help me, but I don't think I needed one.<br />Books, in general, have helped me handle so much. Ginger Brown helped me break away from a toxic friendship, Joey Donovan gave me my first sort of "aesthetic", and Paul Slater helped me cope when my friend was struggling with depression. Outside of CC, Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein has created half the inside references, from sappy couple's nicknames to the whole saying-each-other's-lines-back-to-each-other thing, that my partner and I have.Caitlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-38568119844932681432016-05-23T05:03:01.020+01:002016-05-23T05:03:01.020+01:00Dizzy helped me get through being in hospital beca...Dizzy helped me get through being in hospital because it was given to me as a present during one of my marathon stays! I'm not really like Dizzy, except I would be nervous at my first real festival, but Dizzy helped me escape!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-67677546644568304442016-05-22T12:26:18.798+01:002016-05-22T12:26:18.798+01:00I've managed to connect with every CC book in ...I've managed to connect with every CC book in one way or another, not necessarily with every storyline, but there's a little bit in each book that fits..(If that makes sense). Which is why I probably rely on them for huge comfort even now. Last night after a stressful day I pulled out Driftwood. Dizzy is my favourite, because I think it just screams my personality, except I've always been the hippy, not my parents. My life was more like Indie's regards to storylines. I think food is an issue for a lot people, during stressful times I've always been the under eater. (even now.). I don't do it purposely I'm just so focused on other things that i'll only eat when my legs start feeling wobbly. Connecting with books is good. It gives you hope! <3 xxx Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
