What I’m saying is: I REALLY like sharks. I find them wildly fascinating, and I own dozens of books about them, so it makes me a perfect person to write a list of great shark books in honor of Shark Week! (Although the Shark Week programming is a little out of control the last few years. What’s going to happen this year? A shark will duet with Tony Bennett? John Cena will wrestle a shark?) Whether about science, history, or fiction regarding sharks, here are some wonderful books about our toothy cartilaginous ocean friends that you can sink your teeth into! Note: The world of sharks books is short on diversity. If you have recommendations of shark books by authors of color, we’d love to hear about them.
