“To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, Books and You

“But what if you are a smart girl in love? All because I was a book nerd didn’t mean, I didn’t feel, I didn’t want.

― Candice Raquel Lee, The Innocent: A Myth
