...I have fairly recently discovered the site Postsecret and have in a very short space of time become utterly addicted to it...there is without a doubt something incredibly haunting about this site...for reasons I will go into later on. Factual Information Postsecret was set up on January 1st 2005 by Frank Warren and is based in America. It is in essence a very simple idea, you send in an anonymous 6 inch by 4 inch postcard with a secret written on it that you have never revealed before, these are then scanned and the best ones are put up onto the site. Most of the postcards come from America due to the location of the site but international readers do send in postcards as well.

...The other day I was in my local PDSA (vets for pets) shop searching for a bargain when I came across the books , which were all stacked neatly on a couple of dust-free shelves. As I quickly skimmed through the titles , my eyes were snatched by a lilac cover with a picture of a girl standing in a snow globe , standing with her back to the reader and crossing her fingers behind her back, surrounded by silver stars in the globe. The title read "Can You Keep A Secret ? ". "Ooh, wonder what this is about ?" I say to my friend who is also a keen reader. Curiously I wonder what type of secret is the book about ? I'm desperate to know. So without hesitation I pick the book up and take it to the till. After all it was only 99p - hardly going to break the bank was it ? and it would keep me entertained for a few hours! (well I was hoping it was... Read review
