PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God by Frank WarrenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
In my endeavor to utilize my library for more than just movies and children's books, I stopped by today to find something light and quick to give my brain a break from DG's The Outlandish Companion. I picked this up, hoping it would fit the bill, and killing two birds with one stone as I was able to remove this title from my (ridiculous) wishlist without cluttering up my house further. I mention this because in a moment of clarity and potentially fatal bit of housecleaning a week ago, I shortened my physical TBR list from 49 to 29. Anyways, I picked this up because it's a book I have zero intention of ever keeping.
I spent about an hour and a half looking over this book. Some of the secrets were humorous and silly, some didn't seem very secretive at all, some were frightening and emotionally moving. Some secrets I plan on going back to look at further as some of the artwork is amazing, or confusing. "What do they really mean?" And some of the secrets could have easily been mine.
