Product Description
Postsecret.com founder Frank Warren is back with a fresh and compelling companion to his wildly popular Los Angeles Times bestseller, PostSecret. For My Secret, a collectible, paper-over-board book that includes a page of vibrant, decorative stickers, Warren has personally selected never-before-seen anonymous postcards created by teens and college students from across the country. Each card bears an intimate and powerful secret—at turns inspirational, shocking, hilarious, and poetic—that is told through original illustrations, photographs, collages, and other creative means. Sample messages include: - "I am avoiding you because you are socially below me."
- "I know the truth to the lie my parents tell... "
- "My friends think I was homeschooled. I spent high school in juvi."
A unique and important book that will appeal to both young adults and their parents, My Secret offers a raw and revealing glimpse into the real lives of today's teens and twentysomethings. Choosing their own handmade postcards over email or text messages, teens and college students express their hopes, fears, and wildest confessions in a way that truly represents their diverse personalities and voices.

Amazon.com Review
At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched a new blog called PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was one of the five most popular in the world, and his first book, PostSecret, was one of the surprise bestsellers of 2005. My Secret is his second book, a collection of cards from teens and college students--none of which has been shown on the website--that carries the same emotional power and creativity that have made Warren's project a phenomenon. We are featuring seven postcards from the book here: see two of them on this page, and click on the numbers below to see five more. | Click on the numbers below to see five more postcards from My Secret | | [ 1 ] | [ 2 ] | [ 3 ] | [ 4 ] | [ 5 ] |

A voyeristic journey into others lives! ( southern_sophisticate )
I own several of the PostSecret books, along with the "Found" books, and they are adored by everyone who comes in contact with them. They lie on my coffee table just waiting to be picked up and read. Some of the postcards are so heart-wrenching that I cried, others are mischevious and down right CRUEL. I love the amount of time, hard work and effort that the people who send in these post cards do to make them look GORGEOUS! They also have a website created to view some of their postcards before buying if you'd like. the website is postsecret.com I like to go on there and on grouphug.us and read peoples confessions.

My Secret: A PostSecret Book
I pre-ordered this book months before it came out and I waited for it with great anticipation. It was still a great collection of PostSecrets but was nowhere near as long as I expected it to be. I finished reading it in about 2 hours. It does contain some very compelling and creative secrets and is still worth reading!

I was hangingg out for it to arrive in the mail, when it came i couldn't put it down. Took about 20-30mins to get through but i now keep it on my coffee table and intend to get the rest.

Awesome
Some of the secrets are funny, some are scary & some of them are very sad but it just shows that everyone has them & to those who share them, no matter what your secret is, you are not alone.
