Criaturas Luminosas / Remarkably Bright Creatures | Shelby Van Pelt

pick

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 ❤️ 5mo

quietlycuriouskate Oh, lovely Max! I totally get what you mean about your heart not being ready. 5mo

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. 5mo

Mimi28 Sorry to hear about Max 😢😿 I know what you mean about getting another pet 5mo

Octopi are high fiving each other. Hm.

CatLass007 I bought this book because your group is reading it and because I love Remarkably Bright Creatures. I haven‘t read it yet but I look forward to doing so. Who hosts your philosophy group? I‘d like to be added to the tag list. I know everyone is taking their time with this book but I‘m interested in this book in particular and the group in general. 6mo

GingerAntics @CatLass007 I do, actually. I can definitely add you to the tags. 6mo

CatLass007 Excellent! Thank you so much! Could you please explain to me how the buddy read works? And exactly what is the name of the buddy read? I noticed you had a couple of hashtags that included the word “philosophy.“ 6mo

GingerAntics @CatLass007 we are the dead philosophers society… and we have adventures in philosophy. lol We usually take about 4-6 weeks off between books to let things process and let people catch up. This is the first book I didn‘t post discussion questions, so we may go back to that. I‘m not sure. We‘ll pick another book in the next week or so, and then I‘ll post the reading schedule. We usually do a chapter a week. 6mo

CatLass007 Thank you.😊 6mo

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 😮‍💨😵‍💫🥴😂 6mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie then I‘m weird, too. It was weird. “This is how cephalopods and weird scientists die!” 6mo

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 🫡 6mo

GingerAntics @AlaSkaat you‘re good… no spoilers 6mo

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. 6mo

TheBookHippie It‘s interesting right? Although I‘ve enjoyed it all it needs a focus point 😂 6mo

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. 6mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics yes!!!! 🐙🌊 6mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics She thinks too deeply was written on all my report cards 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo

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. 6mo

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics not in a parochial school… 😅 6mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie so true 6mo
