Hi Catherine, Hello. Yes we’ve just been watching Elvis — we split it into two nights and are liking it too. Also have you seen Five Days at Memorial, the TV series based on the Katrina book? Wow, see it …. it’s on Apple+.
Yeah for whatever reason Bright Creatures was just 3.75 for me. LOL. And Unlikely Animals didn’t do it for me either. But Lessons in Chemistry was a winner! Maybe it was just my head space lately was crazy … so it’s me not everyone likely. Charm & delight are okay words in reviews, ha. Funny.
Hope you are back feeling settled in the NW!

Thanks Jane. It’s feels strange it’s September already. Things are rushing along. The Ice adventure is one I hadn’t heard about before and it was tough for me to swallow about the dogs. It is pretty unreal the two men survived.
Hope you have a great Sept. as well.

I’m a little surprised at Remarkably Bright- not even 4 stars. I’m always cranky in my reading and fell for it, so thought you’d like it as well. Of course, I was in a pretty soft, odd space this summer- I may have used charm and delight more than once in reviews. Gulp.

Have you had any time for movies? I just watched Elvis and was blown away by Austin Butler’s performance.

Thanks for the warning for dog lovers!

Happy birthday month, and best wishes for an easy move. The thought of actually moving is daunting, so hope it goes smoothly for you.

Happy Sept reading!

Hi Iliana — I hope it cools down for you there. The hot temps have been crazy lately. The Bright Creatures novel has been incredibly popular this summer. Maybe it was a bit over-hyped for me … so that I expected a lot. Still it is a nice story about connection & handling grief. See what you think of it. Happy reading and I look forward to stopping by your site soon.

Hi Sam. It’s great you stopped by. Yeah the chapters narrated by the octopus are pretty fun and he is wise. I liked that angle of the story. Who wouldn’t like an octopus?! Such an interesting creature. See what you think of the novel. Cheers. and let us know if you are back blogging.

Yes, September does seem like a beginning of sorts doesn’t it? I love it as it usually means we finally get some respite from 100+ temps here in Texas. Fingers crossed all goes well and you’ll get a buyer for your home. Remarkably Bright Creatures is one I’ve been hearing a lot about and I think I probably added it to my radar before I even know what it was about because of that beautiful cover! Sounds charming and like an easy read.

I won’t lie and say that’s just what I’ve been looking for, but now that I’ve spotted it, I know I won’t be satisfied until I give it a try. I’ve always heard that an octopus is one of the more brilliant creatures in the world, so this sounds like loads of fun.

Wow Stargazer, I didn’t realize you are Danish. Nice! My cousins are Norwegian so I love Scandinavia but I hadn’t heard of Mikkelsen either … and felt embarrassed too. I try to know about polar explorers — there are many!
Yeah I had nice time in California and I’m still trying to get my mind back to here now but it wanders. Hope you are well. Happy Sept.

Ok great. Looking forward to it. Enjoy your time. The weather has turned beautiful here.
