I'm looking forward to your thoughts.<br /><br />~rhapsodyinbooks: Thanks! It's scary that it's hitting them younger these days.<br /><br />~A Bookshelf Monstrosity: Thanks! Hope you stop by again some time.<br /><br />~bermudaonion: Me, too.<br /><br />~Sandy: The cover drew me in right away. I'm not sure exactly what it has to do with the story itself, but it's nice looking. :)<br /><br />~Nicole: I asked the author about it, but I haven't heard back from her yet. I'm not sure whether it's medically possible, but I could be wrong. It didn't prevent me from liking the book, though.<br /><br />~Susan: Thanks! I hope you received the comment I left on your blog. I wasn't able to find an e-mail address to answer you directly.<br /><br />~Veens: Thanks!<br /><br />~Blodeuedd: Thanks! I try. :)<br /><br />~Marie: Thanks!<br /><br />~Kailana: I agree!<br /><br />~carolsnotebook: Me, too. It seems we've stopped talking about this issue. I remember hearing more about it years back.<br /><br />~Jeanne: Thanks for letting me know that. I haven't read <i>Wintergirls</i> yet, but I've heard it's great. The author does go into detail about what she eats each day, so I guess it could be used in the way that you mention. That's really sad, though.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-68244384334833964442009-10-08T17:39:12.203-04:002009-10-08T17:39:12.203-04:00Do you know that "Ana" is a way that ano...Do you know that "Ana" is a way that anorexics have traditionally personalized their disorder online? One of the things I look for in reviews of these books is whether it could be used by anorexics to get tips on starvation techniques--too many descriptions of what Beth can get by on in a day and you have a "recipe" for those who try to imitate her.<br /><br />And have you read Anderson's Wintergirls? It's the best book I've ever read on this subject.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4734590638266769310.post-60064386757006695932009-10-07T13:31:23.880-04:002009-10-07T13:31:23.880-04:00Eating disorders are so pervasive it seems.
