Question: What happens if I repost my requests elsewhere, without waiting at least 72 hours for a response? Answer: We may decline your requests and ask you to wait 2 weeks before resubmitting them.
Question: How many requests can I send at once? Answer: You can only send us 1 custom upload batch until it is uploaded. So why should they bother me? But I've had a lot of time to think about this, and if you ask me, most people underestimate eyes. For a start, they're powerful They're like vortexes, too. They're infinite. You look someone straight in the eye and your whole soul can be sucked out in a nanosecond.
That's what it feels like. Other people's eyes are limitless and that's what scares me. My thoughts are speeding up and my pace is speeding up too, and I'm pulling at my arms, pulling at the flesh of my forearms, trying to I don't know.. I don't understand it.
I glance in the mirror and flinch at my own wild stare. I can feel a weird sparking all over my body, like I'm more alive than I should be, like my body is over-loaded with life force. Can you have too much life stuffed into one body? Because that's what this feels like. And everything's too fast. My heart, my thoughts, my feet, my clawing arms I'll stack the dishwasher.
I'll phone Grandma every night. Can he actually hear what he's saying? I'm a fairly easy person to make laugh, so I don't know how credible my word is, but I found this book nothing short of hilarious.
Are you going out in that skirt? No, I'm planning to take it off as soon as I get out of the front door. Do you think that's a good idea? No, I think it's a terrible idea, that's why I'm doing it. Are you listening to me? Your voice is a hundred decibels, I can hardly avoid it.
Her anti-video game mom, her lovably naive little brother, her clueless father, and her video game obsessed brother were absolutely wonderful. Not only in their endless support of Audrey, but in their dynamic. They seemed like a real family. Hell, they kind of seemed like my family, and in more ways than one. That's the only way I can describe it. Yes, I've had one bad episode, but I didn't sink quite as low.
Things weren't quite as dark. I loved how Linus wasn't the cure-all end-all to Audrey's anxiety. Sure, he helped a bit, but meeting him didn't "save her life.
No one's fine, really, if you think about it. After all, "I'm not okay, you're not okay, and that's okay. We're all on one. Even Frank. Even Mum. Even Felix. I think what I've realized is, life is all about climbing up, slipping down, and picking yourself up again.
That's all that you can hope for. More or less upwards. My experience with anxiety: This is probably the easiest and hardest thing I've ever had to write. Easy, I know exactly what I want to write. Hard, because what I want to write involves sharing a very personal part of my life with hundreds of strangers on the Internet.
Here goes nothing: When I was very little, I was one of the shyest kids out there. I wouldn't talk much to new people. I was the kid sitting quietly on the swings, book in hand, while the other kids my age ran around the playground, screaming and yelling at the top of their lungs.
It wasn't until I started Preschool that I was able to break out of my shell. From that day on, I was the one of the loud kids. I was friends with everyone. I preformed in my city's theatre program. I dreamed of one day becoming a singer and auditioning for America's Got Talent. I wanted to do everything, see everything.
But despite all of that, I was a very anxious kid. No one really noticed then - I didn't even notice myself. But I can remember all of my irrational fears, how long it would take me to calm down once I was scared, and how the smallest, most insignificant things would affect me greatly.
This never really became a problem until I was Things happened to me. Not horrid, awful things, but things that impacted me enough to make me revert back to my old ways.
My grandpa died. My dad moved out. My grades started slipping. People that I thought were my friends quickly turned on me. I remember my first panic attack like most would remember their first kiss. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think, I couldn't speak. All I could do was sit there, shaking, as tears streamed down my face, and my heart pounded in my ears, and my breath came in shallow gasps. I didn't know what was happening to me.
I though I was dying. But, then again, every time I felt even remotely under the weather, I thought I was dying. Somehow, it passed. I tried to move on, but I couldn't get that day out of my mind. Slowly, after a while, I began to experience these things more often.
I retreated from the world, and I had started to go out less and less. I developed a fear of cameras, airplanes, social media, spiders, germs, the ocean, people - you name a fear, and chances are, I probably had it. I started to cover all of my cameras with tape. I couldn't look people in the eyes when I spoke to them. I didn't leave the house for weeks, sometimes months on end.
Panic attacks became a regular thing, and it wasn't uncommon for me to have one once, twice, maybe even three times a week. I was seeing a therapist, but that wasn't doing much. I didn't want to get better.
I wanted to hide. Sometimes, on very bad days, I thought the world would be better off without me. During all of this, reading was my only solace.
Books weren't judgmental. Books didn't turn on you. They contained whole worlds for me to run to. I continued living like this for years, until only recently - when I stumbled upon this little site called Goodreads.
A social media platform for people who loved books. This sounded like an actual paradise to me. I had to join. The only problem was, that involved starting an account. A social media account. Something I had avoided like the plague for years.
Just the thought made my heart beat faster, and my breath catch. But I was tired of living like this, scared of everything, and everyone. I clicked "sign-up. I wouldn't comment anything, I wouldn't follow anyone. And I sure as hell wasn't going to friend anyone. That worked for maybe two weeks. One day, out of the blue, I got two friend requests. I was so taken aback, I shut off my laptop, and had a mini-panic attack in the corner of my room.
But my therapist was always telling me to take small risks, and to broaden my horizons. So I accepted the friend requests. I started commenting things. I started reviewing books. This progress wasn't just limited to my online life.
I started going out more. I started talking to new people. I had some bad episodes, yes, and I had some minor setbacks, but I wasn't going to let that stop me. Just recently, I uncovered my phone's back camera. Then the front camera.
And holy shit, did it scare me. But it thrilled me, too. I did it. I looked a camera in the eye and said, "I'm not afraid of you.
I still have trouble maintaining eye contact. My laptop camera is still covered. I still haven't really gone "out" out. A week ago, I had one of the worst panic attacks I've had in months. But afterwards, I didn't feel so bad. I got back up. I'm on a jagged graph myself, just like Audrey. I owe a lot to the first two people who friend requested me I can't even remember their names, and honestly, I feel terrible about it.
Even though they didn't know it, they gave me that little push I needed to start again. If any of you are in the same, or similar boat as me, do not be afraid to message me. I know it's scary talking to a complete stranger about your problems.
But it may make you feel better. It did for me. View all 41 comments. So I think my feelings have slightly changed towards this book. But it was hilarious, it was messy, the parents were irritating beyond belief but I adored them. The social anxiety rep was okay. I did want more focus on it, but I appreciated that we also got to see Audrey in her own messy element, with her family and challenging her social anxiety.
I wasn't expecting to actually love it. Just like it So I think my feelings have slightly changed towards this book. Just like it more or less. But I couldn't help but actually fall in love with this book.
In true Kinsella style, it was hilarious! Throughout the whole book I was actually laughing out loud to myself.
Way too many times. I loved the family. They were genuine, real, supportive and a mess. The main character suffers from social anxiety and it follows her journey of trying to overcome it. I loved the overall message, the writing and in general, the whole story.
We get to see the protagonist progress but also suffer from a few setbacks and learning to deal with her situation. I wish there was more. More development to the anxiety Audrey deals with, the story and the characters, but it does make for a lighthearted read with a message. Definitely recommend this.

The novel made me laugh so much from the first page till the very end. I enjoyed everything about it which is a wonderful surprise because this is a story about a girl Audrey d Adorable alert! The creative writing format is also a huge contributor to the overall bright and positive impact of the novel.
Stereotypes much? This is too cute! You look someone straight in the eye and your whole soul can be sucked out in a nano-second. Also, happy birthday, young one! Enjoy your special day! View all 39 comments.
Thank you so much to Doubleday Children's for sending me this book! I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book! At first I was so excited for it because it sounded perfect for me because when I was Audrey's age, I had actually gone through something freakishly similar to her in this book!
But then again, I had issues with it that I was hoping wouldn't arise but unfortunately I couldn't ignore.
I'll start off by saying that a lot of things about Audrey and this book were so similar to me that I was freaking out a little bit. Like, Sophie Kinsella, did you steal my diary from when I was 14 or what? When I was 14, I was bullied and had a really rough time in high school, so much so that I couldn't go to school, or even leave my own house all of which happens to Audrey.
I also developed a relationship with a boy who helped me greatly and moved schools like Audrey plans to do. Anyway, Sophie Kinsella's writing style is great because it reads like one of those comedy tv shows and it also contains film scripts and notes that speed up and enhance the reading experience!
Moving on to the many things that I had issues with: - The fact that you never find out what happened in detail to cause her anxiety to dictate her mind. Her father was a classic 'always on his blackberry and never hears what his wife says and just agrees with everything she says' kinda guy and I found them to be REALLY unrealistic.
I mean, I'm sure there are parents out there that are like this, but to the extent where I found myself questioning how exaggerated these stereotypes were was ridiculous. Now, I understand that at Audrey's age, you get into a relationship and you're telling each other you love them straight away I know, because I did that too. Oh how silly I was! It just didn't make that much sense to me, especially coming from someone who has experienced severe anxiety at that age and throughout my entire life.
It had its cute moments but I wouldn't recommend it. I really wish I could have loved it View 2 comments. Sep 06, Whitney Atkinson rated it liked it Shelves: read-in This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I'm impressed with how much I enjoyed this!
Ad intrusion is also important when deciding what torrent site to use. If you have to go through eight ads just to browse for a file, it might be time to find a new torrent site.
In our research, there were about 3 to 4 popular torrent sites that we decided not to include due to the ad intrusion level. Security is very important when downloading torrents. After all, there are plenty of shady torrenting platforms on the internet that could compromise your online security. Website: Visit a working Pirate Bay Mirror. Attention: The Pirate Bay is blocked in many countries even mirror sites , so you might need a VPN to change your virtual location and unblock the Pirate Bay.
The Pirate Bay has been a crowd favorite for many years. However, considering the number of mirrors and blocking attempts, that number may be skewed , and 20 to 60 million visits a month is perhaps a bit more accurate. The Pirate Bay is popular for its large community, which ensures at least one seeder on almost any torrent on the site, no matter the age.
We tried downloading obscure titles from even over a decade ago, and we found that there were still happy seeders to help out. You can also look at our list of Pirate Bay alternatives for more options. RARBG is a large directory of torrents, famous for a very active community of seeders and high-quality torrents. Its library size is decent, and it gets updated often, meaning that you have a high chance of finding new torrents on the site.
The only difference is that ad intrusion is more annoying on RARBG, so take that into account when choosing one of the two. There are a lot of phishing scams going around with RARBG-looking sites, so make sure you learn about secure browsing. Website: X website. Some people use it to browse for game torrents as well, but from our research, it does look like both RARBG and The Pirate Bay have more torrents in that category, especially for older titles.
A few years ago, X was a bad choice for torrenting since it was clunky to navigate and it posed a lot of security risks. Since then, it went through an entire site revamp , making it seamless to browse and a lot safer.
For shows and movies, you also have improved browsing functionalities, like searching by award nomination. The creators only make money through bitcoin donations from what we can see. Mirrors: x. Website: Torrentz2 website. While this is not that big of a torrent site — only amassing million users a month and unable to sport much of a library for general torrents — Torrentz2 is very good for finding music.
Not to mention, any type of browsing options — like searching by album, artist, or song — would be greatly appreciated. Second, ad intrusion is minimal, and the interface is beautiful. Lastly, classics are readily available on the platform. If you want high-definition episodes of your favorite shows, EZTV is the place to go.
We searched for older titles like Two and a Half Men, and it had a decent library of options. We even tried going for more obscure titles, like the British show Midsomer Murders. EZTV has a large variety of torrents for the new releases in that series, plus a packages of older episodes.
A safe torrent scanner helps you download torrents more safely when searching Google, Yahoo or Bing. The web torrent client installs in your favorite web browser and makes torrent downloads simple. Set limits on download and upload speeds to free up bandwidth for other household internet tasks. Unlike client software that runs in a separate window on your Windows computer, a web torrent client lives in a web browser.
Web torrent clients are still software that need to be downloaded, however once installed they can help you download torrents from a web browser like Google Chrome. Web torrent clients typically have a simpler interface and are easier to use than desktop software, so they are ideal for newer users.
