Rochelle (sharpewords) | 127 comments I have reviewed my second book for the challenge. (I've read at least 10 books so far, but since I intend to review them, I'm not going to report them yet.

Running Like China an engaging memoir by Sophie Hardcastle who recounts her struggle with bi-polar as a teen. It was a great read.
