making use of my best resource! *winning smile*

[such_heights]

Hi all,

Am looking for resources for a couple of friends of mine, and was wondering if any of you have some links/suggestions off the top of your head!

1. I am looking for novels that feature positive portrayals of women who aren't thin.

2. I am looking for resources to help someone who's currently in a pretty bad pit of depression but having trouble articulating that and reaching out. That sounds all too familiar to me, but I don't recommend my own strategy of going and going until you snap. Anything about first reaching out for professional support or recognising that's what happening is an illness and not a moral failing would be most welcome.

♥!

Thank you, Amy. *squishes you*

Re. number 1, It's kind of obvious and she probably already knows about them, but there's the whole series of Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books?

Any time! And yes, those were the only books that sprung to mind, unfortunately.

I found a couple of lists that merit closer investigation:
