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.

♥!

Hi - here via happydork's post. For your 1), my favourite guilty read series is about a 50-something zaftig jewel thief with a double life, who's long since given up any dieting nonsense. It's excellent. The first one is "Brilliant", and they're written by Marne Davis Kellogg.

oh, and just remembered - Precious Ramotswe, the main character of the Number One Ladies Detective Agency series, by Alexander McCall Smith, is a lady of "traditional build", and she kicks a lot of ass.
