pickThis was an interesting book both about women of color in science and sharks. We listened to it in the car and I‘m happy to say my son liked it too. #SharkWeekReadathon @TEArificbooks
I took a box of books to trade in at Bookman‘s: Mesa.
They took 10 of my books and I took 1 of theirs (with time to admire their Jaws display in between).

Jaws (the movie) turned 50 this year!
My yard has turned into an absolute JUNGLE this summer. I've never seen the ivy come up onto the porch before...oops. 😅 I'll deal with it this weekend, but it's also kind of a vibe?
I started this book this morning and it's super weird. A man starts morphing into a shark within the first few pages. I'm intrigued enough to keep going, but definitely unlike anything I've read before.
pickI loved this book! I was expecting more shark, but what I wasn't expecting delivered much more than I could have imagined. The real monsters were the humans. They all had traits that could make them unlikable but this made them realistic. I was cheering for the shark the whole time! Peter Benchley wrote an immersive tale that made the humans actions and inactions just as devastating as the sharks actions.
2 5* reads in March! Sharks Don't Sink is such a compelling dive (excuse the pun) into academia, in particular, what Black women/WOC have to deal with in order to advance.
The second 5* is Wild Dark Shore, a gripping, gothic tale of a woman who is found close to death on the shores of a small research island. How did she get there? Why is she there? And what are the caretakers of the island hiding?
pickThe Secret History of Sharks, by John Long (2024)
Premise: A comprehensive introduction to the long history and evolution of sharks
Review: There is no question that John Long knows his stuff and is able to communicate complex material effectively. I learned more about sharks than I ever wanted to. Cont.
