Everyone needs a book-and-coffee buddy. Preferably, you even have more than one because this means more books, more coffee, and friends. Enter Sarah, my book-and-coffee buddy, who has been my friend since I was six years old.
My friend Sarah and I look back on our bizarre used bookstore visit back in 2020 with fondness and an acknowledgment of the borderline creepiness of the experience. “If it had been a few hours later, we would have crossed the line from fantasy quest setting to horror film setup,” I often joke.

But the love of book adventures is strong for both of us. Naturally, Sarah and I decided that we needed to plan another book adventure. And I had the perfect time for a day trip. My husband was off at a car show, and I knew it was a weekend when I didn’t want to be stuck at home doing nothing.
