Feel good book about characters in a small town. Meandering beginning that pulls together nicely at the end!

Criaturas Luminosas / Remarkably Bright Creatures | Shelby Van Pelt

so-so

So-so for me.
While it's a cute story, it's too much Hallmark-like for my taste. While I could empathize with the difficulties faced by the different characters, I found most of the characters too stereotypical, not developed enough. The role played by the octopus is interesting, but I wished she had gone all in, and told the whole story through the eyes of the octopus.

Octopus, Seahorse, Jellyfish | David Liittschwager

Thanks to @Eggs & @TheSpineView for the #WondrousWednesday tags.🤗

1. Currently I‘m pet-less. It was 2 years ago in Feb that I lost my Max🐱💔after 19 years. He had a tough last year & my heart hasn‘t been ready for another yet. I feel I‘ll know when the time is right.

2. I read & enjoy both F & NF as long as they aren‘t sad. I just can‘t do sad animal books.😭

3. The tagged is a fave NF & Remarkably Bright Creatures is a fave fiction.💙🐙💙

JenReadsAlot Oh Max ❤️ 7mo

quietlycuriouskate Oh, lovely Max! I totally get what you mean about your heart not being ready. 7mo

CBee Sad animal books are not for me, either. If I don‘t know about it beforehand and something happens to an animal, I‘ve been known to stop reading. 7mo

Mimi28 Sorry to hear about Max 😢😿 I know what you mean about getting another pet 7mo

Well, this was an interesting chapter. I did not need to know about that one guy‘s funeral plans. I can‘t help wondering if he actually got his wish, though.

TheBookHippie This chapter seemed weird. Or it‘s me 😮‍💨😵‍💫🥴😂 8mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie then I‘m weird, too. It was weird. “This is how cephalopods and weird scientists die!” 8mo

AlaSkaat Spoilers, spoilers, I‘m almost there!! 😂 I‘ve had a very bad past 2 weeks, I‘m just starting this chapter. I‘ll be back 🫡 8mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat you‘re good… no spoilers 8mo

Welcome to the philosophy section of the book. I would have liked to see more of the book touch on these things, but at least we got some genuine philosophy going on here.

GingerAntics This chapter took me back, emotionally speaking. I remember as a fairly young child, thinking about thinking, and wondering if anyone else thought about thinking. When I tried asking my parents, they asked me what was wrong with me, and told me I was weird. It took until I got to college to discover that I was just a natural born philosopher. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Go figure. 8mo

TheBookHippie It‘s interesting right? Although I‘ve enjoyed it all it needs a focus point 😂 8mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie same! I felt like it wasn‘t sure where it was going. It has all been very interesting to read, but it has felt very much like we‘re just sort of flowing with the tide as it were. 8mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes!!!! 🐙🌊 8mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics She thinks too deeply was written on all my report cards 🤷🏻‍♀️ 8mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ sometimes, I think these notes should lead to teachers being removed from the profession. You literally just don‘t want to deal with a thinking human being, while having a hissy fit when said thinking human being out thinks you. 8mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics not in a parochial school… 😅 8mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie so true 8mo
