I'm pretty sure The Hunger Games doesn't have any sea creatures. Did I forget something? Why is it on this list?

Maybe someone thought finnick was a sea god? :)
I'm going to mention this on the goodreads librarians group so someone with the power to remove can take care of that.
Yeah, Beowulf fought Grendel's mother underwater (where she shows her true form or something like that.)Beowulf belongs to the list.
Yeah. There's a few books I noticed on this list that definitely don't have mermaids in them, like HOUSE by Frank E. Peretti, and SKIN by Tedd Dekker. PARANORMALCY by Kierstin White also caught my eye, but not having read it, I don't know if one of the many supernatural creatures in there happens to be a mermaid?
I doesn't have magical sea creatures in it so a librarian probably removed it from the list.btw I love your name. :)
It's ok. :)This page probably will do a much better job explaining than me.

You only need to read about the first three sections, the rest just explains librarian protocol.
If you have more questions you can ask me or check out the librarians group (there should be a link at the top of the page I linked you to).
Amazing list. I want to read them all! 2012 resolution, perhaps :-)

Katherine wrote: "Why is Divergent on here?"Someone thinks it has sea cretures in it. I have been wondering about it too. Have you read it? If so, are there sea creatures in it? If there aren't than I can remove it from this list. Thanks if you can help! :)

What about books that feature sea creatures but who arent the main characters?Carousel Tides
Its a book where one of the supporting characters is a selkie and also another character who is the love interest (maybe, they did form some sort of connection)of the main character. is believed to be a selkie but is really a (view spoiler)

Would be nice to able to remove them.

You have to be a librarian. If you want you can just give me a link to your list with a list of the books that should be removed and I can take care of it for you. :)

From what I've gathered, I don't think it matters if it is a main character or a supporting character.

Ok When in doubt I ask. :)
Why is Skin, by Ted Dekker on Sea Creatures? I've read it and I absolutely LOVE his work, so I'm 100% sure it does not belong with the sea...
I wondered the same thing. I've read that one and I really don't think the sea is even mentioned once, and I know none of the characters were mythical sea creatures. In fact, it has a picture of a desert on the cover.
Why is Divergent by Veronica Roth in here?! I don't remember it having any, I say ANY sea creatures and I'm a hundred percent sure about that. In fact I've read it a week ago, I can't possibly forget Ms. Roth's writings in there though.

It doesn't have to be the main character, definitely! Some of these books have regular, old-fashioned sea monsters that are not really "characters" at all but just, y'know, attack ships or whatever. But thanks for asking!
Danielle, if you or someone else with librarian status wants to remove things like Divergent and Ted Dekker that would be great.

Twilight in on every single list ever. Feel free to remove it if you have librarian powers, but some dumbass fan will put it back on within the week.
