I am thinking, I should probably let you guys know what I am/have reading as I read it.. y'all might be interested.

Today, I read Sickened, by Julie Gregory.. REALLY interesting bio about a girl who grew up with a mom who faked her being sick... like, she almost got an open heart surgery to figure out what was wrong with her.. kinda scary stuff, and kind of interesting how she pulled out of it, and at the end is trying to help the next generation's version of her.. Anyways. I liked it.. was horrified in places, couldn't believe that the doctors just... took the mom's word for it.. and the girl played along because she'd get hurt if she didn't.. scarily good book.
