remarkably bright creatures
shelby van pelt
a giant pacific octopus helps unravel a mystery from his tank at an aquarium. went looking for a book to fill the midnight library shaped hole in my heart. unexpectedly charming.
you can probably see my bias for fiction — the real world is boring. ratings out of 5 stars.
