I do think that there are times when medication is necessary. I don't, however, think that it should be the "go-to" thing to solve every psychological problem with every person. I think that medication should only be used if there isn't an alternative and only ever in conjunction with other methods, like therapy.

There's a fundamental difference in the treatment of "diabetes" and "psychological disorders." Insulin (in correct amounts) isn't likely to cause horrible side effects like psychotropic drugs can. Diabetes is also managed with a combination of things, like diet and exercise. Whereas, I think there's a stigma between psychotropic drugs and psychological disorders (judging by commercials all over TV) where people believe all they need to do is take a pill and won't really have to work at anything.

So many great books! Living Dead Girl and The Book Thief are both fantastic books. Good luck reading Original Sin and City of Bones without reading the sequels. I haven't read the sequel to OS but I couldn't wait for CoA and CoG after CoB.

Awww :( You almost made me cry. Poor Tom! I'm loving the idea of another perspective from Juliet's PoV, though I'd be careful with the names Juliet and Jewel. I had to back up because for a second when I read the part of the blurb about Juliet, I got the names a little mixed up. Awesome tease!!
