"This feels like taking a walk with a friend. While all of it is interesting, some chapters are more absorbing than others. There's one on Ginkgo trees, which I'm excited about :) My favorite character is Josephine, the author's 3-year-old daughter (I get so happy whenever she's mentioned in a chapter, like yess it's Jo)." — Jul 14, 2026 10:14PM

Sarah’s Quotes

“In Senegal, the polite expression for saying someone died is to say his or her library has burned. When I first heard the phrase, I didn’t understand it, but over time I came to realize it was perfect. Our minds and souls contain volumes inscribed by our experiences and emotions; each individual’s consciousness is a collection of memories we’ve cataloged and stored inside us, a private library of a life lived.”
― Susan Orlean, The Library Book

“Noemí, just because there are no ghosts it doesn’t mean you can’t be haunted. Nor that you shouldn’t fear the haunting.”
― Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Mexican Gothic
