What I do when I’m not at the library: Read, obviously. Cook, eat what I cook, eat what other people cook by exploring new restaurants, travel, knit, hike.
If I wrote an autobiography, its title would be: I Must Have One of Those Faces: Getting Asked for Directions in Places I’ve Never Been To
The last thing I read: The Witch Elm by Tana French
