You want to buy things because the shop is so clean and beautifully organized. It is uncluttered! Shopping Therapy tells you the lie that if you buy something bea...

“This was a passage in which everyone moved and was unfathomable, which was how Thomasina saw people. She was not a person who froze someone's character in her mind, calling this one egotistical and that one not nearly confident enough and another one truthful or untruthful.

Hi Kathleen! Thanks for the friend invite. Yes, I am enjoying Annabel. It was an accidental discovery when I went to B&N to buy the Hubby some vacation reading. Serendipity.
