It‘s shark week! 🦈🦈🦈

Demon Fish is a fascinating book about how sharks are vital to our oceans‘ ecosystem but under constant attack by humans — from overfishing to climate change to the “delicacy” of shark fin soup.

Grayson narrates a single day in the life of swimmer Lynne Cox. One morning, as she swam along the shore, she became convinced she was being stalked by a shark, but soon realized it was a baby whale that had lost its mother. 🐋

A nice stack of library books that found their way into my arms. Two are from a “shark week” display. #library #toomanybooks #andnotenoughtime

Ouch. What metaphorical shark attack led to our current White House catastrophe?

The perfect beach read...if you want to stay out of the water. Although you're more likely to die of a bee sting or elephant attack than a shark attack.

Eilperin covers the rather fraught relationship between humans and sharks thoroughly in this book. It left me with mixed emotions, since humans do some things that are pretty terrible, but sharks are also so awesome. Well written and interesting for sure.

Finally grabbed this beauty from work. I LOVE sharks, and this sounds like the exact type of thing I would love to read. I also think the lovely lady on the cover is the girl I wanna get tattooed on me. Very excite.
