Devil's Pocketbook | 
pick(2023) My favorite thing about this book is that it introduced me to the term "devil's pocketbook," a name for the egg cases of chondrichthyans like sharks and skates. ("Chondrichthyans" is a new-to-me word and I'm not yet tired of saying it.) Go search YouTube for "mermaid's purse" and thank me and Ross Jeffery later.
The book is okay: the body horror was more extreme than my taste runs these days. But chondrichthyan egg cases? Brilliant.
