Should this book stay on the list?

Yes

Absolutely! Not only does it describe the geographic area, it touched all the emotions. It is so well written. I’ll never look at an octopus the same way.

yes.  I thought it was great and really showed the Washington area well.

Oh, it was a great book! Touched on several different genre’s a little mystery, a little romance, generational, animal lover’s, grief, addiction, non-traditional families, just to name a few and it was a really easy and fast read with a surprise narrator thrown on for fun, I mean why in the world would you take this one off the list!? Wink, wink 🙂

Great choice – I’d heard so much about it, but never thought I’d read a book about an octopus.  I loved the way the story was told from different characters, and how you start making the connections.
