DivineDiana @Suzze Thank you so much. Still can not stand, but she is eating when we hand feed her. Trying to stay positive. 8y

EvieBee @MyNamesParadise Thank you! 8y

Lesliereads I'm going to look for this edition😍 8y

EvieBee @Lesliereads I hope you like it! I've only read one story. Depressing! But I should get on with the others. 8y

Lesliereads I agree that John Steinbeck didn't write the happiest stuff but his writing is beautiful. 8y

Sarah83 my english dictionary doesn't found 'deckleedge'. Can you explain what it means, please? 😙 8y

DeborahSmall @Sarah83 Paper with a feathered edge is described as having a deckle edge, in contrast to a cut edge. Machine-made paper may artificially have its edges produced to resemble a deckle edge. You find it in a lot of old books but also new books have started printing their books with a deckle edge it's just so pretty. From what I've read back in the late 19th century these books were seen as lower quality and cheaper once a machine was able 8y
