"I’m really liking this. O rush because I splurged and bought it instead of taking it out from the library. I’m going to try to stop reading reviews before I read something. I almost said no to this." — May 23, 2026 08:12PM

Annette’s Quotes

“There is no point treating a depressed person as though she were just feeling sad, saying, 'There now, hang on, you'll get over it.' Sadness is more or less like a head cold- with patience, it passes. Depression is like cancer.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Bean Trees
