Books Around the Block
We’re Adrienne, Audrey, and Lindsay—three neighbors who can’t stop talking about books, so we’re bringing the conversation to you. Each episode, we’ll dive into the stories we love (and maybe a few we don’t), mixing fun with literary insight. So get ready to laugh, add to your TBR, and join the discussion—because in our neighborhood, a good book is always just around the block.

This week on Books Around the Block, we’re discussing Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. We start with our Read, Watch, Obsessed catch-up, sharing what we’ve been loving lately, before getting into our discussion of this beloved book club pick.
After the 16-minute mark, we shift into a full spoiler discussion, breaking down the characters, relationships, and everything that worked (and didn’t) for us. We also talk about the upcoming Netflix adaptation releasing May 8, 2026, including our thoughts on the cast (Sally Field is a QUEEN). If you’ve read this charming pick, listen now!
