Evening Book Discussion

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

This adult book discussion group reads fiction and nonfiction books over the course of a month and then discusses those titles at monthly meetings.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Books will be available at the checkout desk one month in advance.
