"I sat in Chapters and read the whole thing cover to cover: guilty. I've seen on the blog how people often say they have found secrets in PostSecret books in store. I was surprise to find one in the copy I picked up. It read: "I'm suicidal and I cry every night. I feel better when I'm around books."
There is no way you can read a PostSecret book and not be touched by the humanity it contains. Some secrets I relate to, others are as foreign to me as I can imagine. All in all, I think the PostSecret series is the best way to revel in and to feel better around books. Reading induces in me the same fleeting feeling as being completely comfortable in your skin.
This book in particular was structured in a pleasing way, beginning at grade school secrets and proceeding through a lifetime to autumn year revelations. I'm sure it's the only book about which I can say that I loved every page."
"This book is just the most recent anthology from the website project, so if you have read previous collections and/or follow the website, there's nothing really "new" here.
I personally enjoyed the book and I like the idea(s) behind the whole project. I saw one postcard that I could have written; I saw one postcard that literally made my face scrunch into tears; I saw one postcard that jarred me into realizing something about myself that I'd never really thought of concretely before. I think everyone will probably have reactions like that to any of the anthologies.
I know a lot of English teachers use the project as a sort of writing prompt, which is neat. Hopefully it won't go the same way as the "This I Believe" essay project, which has suddenly become an anathema after being thought of as a "neat", original idea for English teachers! (Ha. I say that fondly.)"
"I really loved how this book chronicled secrets about childhood all through life until old age and about death. It put a nice perspective on how we grow and age and how things become more important or less important as we grow older. Some secrets made me tear up, some made me laugh out loud and a few even angered me. You never know what will happen when you read someone else's secret, how it will make you react. And that is what brings me back each and every Sunday to see what new secrets premiere on the website.
This book made me wonder if I may have a secret of my own I could mail in."
"~My mom thinks she's fat, I think she's perfect. ~I NEVER wash my glassware after organic chemistry lab. ~I'm starting to realize my indecisiveness is a far worse fate than making the wrong decision. ~I am going to trust this January. ~Whenever I grab a bowl from an upper shelf, I think spiders are going to be inside. ~I want things back the way they never were. ~I'm afraid there are no surprises left. ~I used to write secrets on postcards they were never posted
now I tell them to real people that know and care about me
