"Struggling with the structure a bit, but interesting ideas. Hanging in there only bc this is on one of the goodreads lists and bc that one section featuring almond milk was SO incredible that it almost makes up for everything else feeling lackluster" — Dec 10, 2025 11:59PM

Grace’s Quotes

“Stay curious, stay weird, stay kind and don't let anyone ever tell you you aren't smart or brave or worthy enough.”
― Alex Hirsch, Gravity Falls: Journal 3

“For deep time is measured in units that humble the human instant: millennia, epochs and aeons, instead of minutes, months and years. Deep time is kept by rock, ice, stalactites, seabed sediments and the drift of tectonic plates. Seen in deep time, things come alive that seemed inert. New responsibilities declare themselves. Ice breathes. Rock has tides. Mountains rise and fall. We live on a restless Earth.”
― Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

“Her collections matured, categorized methodically by order, genus, and species; by age according to bone wear; by size in millimeters of feahers; or by the fragile hues of greens. The science and art entwined in each other's strengths; the colors, the light, the species, the life; weaving a masterpiece of knowledge and beauty that filled every corner of her shack. Her world, She grew with them--the trunk of the vine--alone, but holding all the wonders together.”
― Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
