The Tiki Oasis 2025 Book Club selection is “Sharks in the Time of Saviors”, a groundbreaking debut novel by Kawai Strong Washburn. In Hawaii, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean. Everyone fears the worst until Noa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark. This engaging story folds the legends of Hawaiian gods into an engrossing family saga. Please buy from independent bookstores or bookshop.org or libro.fm for audio books!

It’s the 11th anniversary of The Tiki Oasis Book Club! Hostess with the mostest books, Karen Finlay, is the founder of The Mid-Century Supper Club Potluck, and owner of Alibi Bookshop in Vallejo, CA. When she’s not reading, she’s crafting or going to her hometown minor-minor league baseball games, which are two things she never thought she’d do! But books, book clubs, and Tiki Oasis are her very favorite things, and combining them for the past 11 years has been a dream come true. More info: alibibookshop.com
