Shark Club | 
pickIt‘s been slow going this month so far, but I finished another #14booksin14weeks pick, so I‘m calling it a win. Happy to finally get it off my shelf. Rating is 3.5/5
I love sharks, so the underwater scenes were my favourite, but I just think I‘m not a contemporary fiction girlie anymore. They‘re almost always a 2-3.5 for me lately.
Still so many books to go through before they make it back on my shelf. 😂🫠
Reading on a rainy evening 📚💙
so-soI finished this while waiting for a student. It was a pleasant diversion and made me wish I could safely travel to a warmer part of the country and stay at the literary-themed hotel featured in this book. 🏝
pickI thought this was very cute and thoughtful! An enjoyable read, it took me just two days.
pickI couldn't help but gobble this book up. The characters were absolutely life-like especially the wonderfilled awe-inspiring Hazel living life with wide-eyed abandon. It totally makes me wish there was a real life Shark Club!!!
I chose this book because of its cute cover, even though it‘s a ebook. About 16% through, like it so far.
pickThis was a fun, summer themed, light romance. I loved all the shark details & Florida setting. The characters were warm and the overall theme of love not being what you expected was done nicely. Not riveting, but I enjoyed it. And I really wish this literary themed beach hotel existed bc it sounded amazing!! Recommend for a light summer read!
1. I love Smashmallows/gourmet marshmallows (esp. chocolate mint). I like gummies. I like chocolate (milk over dark* #philistine). I‘m a BIG fan of wasabi peas.
2. A cup of coffee. Is that an accessory? 😉 & sunglasses — the weirder the better.
3. BUFFY. 🖤
4. My Girl. An American Werewolf in London.
5. Green/blue/gray
6. Coffee ☕️
7. Any/all beach vacations! Neighborhood-wide games of hide & go seek tag.
8. You‘re it! 👋🏻

pickThis weeks audiobook. How cute was this? Sweet light romance with a little mystery, love triangle and sharks! It is set in SW FL where I live so it was fun to read about local places and flavors. Great beach read. 🦈🦈🦈🦈
pickLove love loved this book! I wish there was more about the lemon sharks in it, but it was beautiful and lovely!
Facing my fears through reading 😬🦈 #currentlyreading
pickI haven‘t been able to let go of my vacation vibes so this seemed like a good fit to keep the beachy theme going. (We‘ve also been binging Bloodline.) Maeve is a marine biologist who specializes in the study of sharks. (I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was growing up.) Her family owns and lives in a hotel in Palermo, FL. There‘s a love triangle, family drama, a precocious little girl that loves science, etc. Right in my wheelhouse. 4 🌟.
pickA good summer read. Romance with a little bit of mystery.
Picked this up randomly at the library, and am really enjoying it so far. Great summer reading.

so-soThis is a great book if you're looking for a light, summery read. I gave it 3 stars out of 5. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't bad either, but it got the average rating mainly because I had high expectations and it didn't meet them fully. My favorite parts were pretty much anything to do with marine biology. If you're going looking for some great lady scientist moments in a book and good writing, then I definitely recommend it.
pickOh my goodness. This book. Adorable. Lovely. Ugh. Perfect. I don't want to ruin it for anyone but if you're passionate about the outdoors & conservation but don't mind a love story intermingling, read this.
This book. Wow. When I think I know what's going to happen there's a major plot twist. Damnit, Robin. #thesharkclub #annkiddtaylor #currentlyreading
pickI had an absolute blast reading this book. It was fun, had a lot of heart, & a great family dynamic. Between the sharks and the family and personal relationships, Maeve had a lot of vulnerabilities in this book, and it was really fun to see how she reacted to them. And oh my gosh, the literary references and quotes! Her grandmother‘s love of all things bookish made my little booknerd ❤️ go pitter-patter. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickPerfect summer read; part love story, part family drama, part heart break, part mystery and partly educational. I thoroughly enjoyed it
Made it to the cottage last night and I've got the laundry under control and groceries secured so it's time to Re-lax with my themed snacks 🦈🍷
Back in Ontario, first Ottawa then some time at the cottage, if I pace my reading I can buy a new book 🎉

pick3.5/5 ⭐️'s
Set against the backdrop of swaying palm trees, picture perfect ocean views, and the vibrant setting of the Florida Keys. The Shark Club is a story of the passions of one woman's life: her first love and new love; the sea and sharks that inhabit it. The novel isn't earth-shattering, but this was a fun, light read and the perfect beach/summer read. #thesharkclub #annkiddtaylor #bookreview #beachread #booksy #books #bibliophile
I'm the girl who hates the ocean, but loves to read about it. Ha. Experiencing something that terrifies me in a safe environment in my jam. Haha. Has anyone read The Shark Club yet?
pickThis is the perfect summer read! I read it in one sitting (although I was on my couch, not at the beach!)
Went to Th Shark Club launch party today and had a blast!! The first sentence of this book had me instantly craving sunshine and the water so that's always a good sign. 🌊🦈🏖
pickMaeve is twelve when she goes into the water and shares a kiss with Daniel. The next moment Daniel is bumped by a shark which bites Maeve. It is just the beginning of her two great loves.
This book juggles romance, lost love, betrayal, grief, and forgiveness, with shark conservation. It was unexpectedly an enjoyable, light summer read but it might not encourage you to go back into the water. 😂

pickReally enjoyed this!
bailedOne part too fluffy, one part too predictable, and one part novice writing - I'm happy to say I've crossed the first book of April off my list!
Oooooh, pretty green cover! 😍
Wait, I know what this is. I will not be fooled into buying you, book temptress!
But I think I will enter the Goodreads giveaway. 😬
