Book: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Join us at Naumes Suncrest Winery for a warm winter gathering of the Well Re(a)d Book Club as we dive into Remarkably Bright Creatures, the beloved debut novel by Shelby Van Pelt. This luminous story follows an unlikely friendship between a night-shift aquarium worker and a surprisingly observant giant Pacific octopus. With humor, heart, and a touch of mystery, Van Pelt explores the connections that heal us, the secrets we carry, and the unexpected ways we find our way home.

We’re especially excited to feature this book in February because Shelby Van Pelt will be visiting Medford the following week for an author talk, proudly sponsored by the Jackson County Library Foundation as part of Rogue Reads. Book club participants will get the perfect chance to read, reflect, and then hear directly from the author herself.

Raise a glass, share good conversation, and get Well Re(a)d with us!
