I haven’t read the book, but was thinking about it. I have read some books and thought “you know, this could’ve been shorter, or this might have been better as a podcast episode or series”. I enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures and look forward to watching the movie.

I see you are now reading Remarkably Bright Creatures. Such a beautiful read. I hope you enjoy it.
Popping over from Book Worms Monthly.

The premise of paying attention to things is very important and I admire you for pushing through o some of those deeper, disturbing books, I’m not sure I could do that. My word of the year in 2025 was listen and it is so much more powerful to me after my year of focus. Thanks for joining us for #woybs each month.

It’s sometimes the little moments that count more than the big events.

Thanks to you, I’ve discovered new books! Right now, I’m reading a book titled, They Bloom Because of You by Jessica Urlichs. I’ll be featuring your post tomorrow at the link party. Thank you for sharing with us!

I’m going to be adding How To Tell A Story to my TBR! :] Same with Dream On It too!

Looking forward to your thoughts on Remarkably Bright Creatures!

This is also why I prefer to read books instead of listening to them via audiobooks. Reading allows me to savor and ponder the story in front of me. How to Tell A Story interests me–I’ve just been through a truly life-changing experience with my aging parents and would love to tell it in a way that doesn’t sound like complaining!

I really try to read books that change the way I see the world, and there are some great ones here! Adding a few to my list! I’m always blessed in this space. Thank you!
