Writing Haven discussion

2008-10 might have been the year of the vampire, but 2011 might be the year of the mermaid! If anyone else has read any good mermaid books, just post them below! :)

Here's some of the mermaid books coming out soon/already out:

Oh another one is Sea Change by Aimee Friedman

I'm reading that one now! It's good so far! :D

I've added others, if anyone's interested:

Okay, so I'm having to make some decisions on two books I'm going to get and one of them is ...has anyone read it?

I added it to-read about a month ago. It sounds really good, and I THINK it's about mermaids, so you should get it!

LoL! Thanks, it's between that book and this one

I entered a contest to win that one! But, then again, my opinion is pretty biased lol. If I had to choose between any two books, and one was a mermaid one, I'd go with that!

Why am I not suprised? LoL! Shadow Hills got better reviews though....and it's longer by 48 pages...I'm not sure...tis is hard...

I feel torn between books all the time, too!
Oh gosh! Siren comes out Tuesday! Should I get that when the money comes or Angel Star? Mermaids...angels...I think you know which one I'm leaning towards. Lol!

I know which one you are I can only give your opinion of Angel Star...It's what you want of course...

I just looked on Amazon and they're offering Shadow Hills and Siren together for just 23.85!

LoL! Really? Interesting...

Well I have an account there also and I was planning to get one of them in person tomorrow! but thanks for the offer it was nice to have it!! Let's move to chat.

Here's a few more mermaid books, but they will all be released in 2011, so they don't have covers yet:
Between the Sea and Sky Rip Tide

Here's another mermaid series, called "Water" by Kara Dalkey. It's a trilogy, and they take place in the Middle Ages. The mermaids are called "mermyds" in this series.

ok well i know this isn't going to be included since its a classic but i had to add it....

That's the best one! :D Here's some more:

I just got this

I heard the eyes on the cover are silver, and it looks like they're following you around the room. :)

Yep, they're a sparkely silver!

Hope it's good!

So, I was online looking at upcoming books, and there's going to be a sequel to Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, called Jessica's Guide to Ruling on the Dark Side, but it's not available on goodreads to add to-read yet. :)

I heard about it back in May! Can't wait!!

Here's two series about mermaids:
The first is middle-grade/early teens, and the second is adult, but there's not much content different from teen books, so I think teens could read 'em, too:

Ripple, a 2011 mermaid book, just got its cover revealed today! What does everyone think about it? I am so looking forward to reading this one! :D

Found this pic. thought you might like it!

Oh, that's so pretty! Thanks! I love it! :D

I was at barnes and noble today and saw that mermaid mirror was out! Didn't you want to read that?

Yeah, I saw it the other day too, when I got Paranormalcy and Bitten! I'm going to have to buy that one soon. At the end of the month I'm going to buy the finished copy of Nightshade--two more weeks till it's out!

Well I bought two books today myself one of them being Crusade.

I've heard about that one. I love the cover! Hope it's good!

Oh, I have some new mermaid books to add to this folder. It's a new series called Dark Tides (might have mentioned it before).

Well I'm reading I think you'd like it...

Yeah, I got an ARC of it from Netgalley.com, and I've read some if it. It's really good and I love how it describes things. I haven't finished it yet, but I think it's really good!

I don't know....I'm finding that I have to force myself to read it, I personally don't like it but it's good writing. It just some of the concepts are way out there and just a little wierd to me but I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, I have to admit it's pretty strange. If it weren't about mermaids, though, I probably wouldn't even like it so much. :D

True, I'm going to try and finish it but I'm not sure. I'm not really a mermaid fan so it's really not my cup of tea.

Yeah, I totally understand. I'm a huge mermaid fan, and sometimes books about them just don't click. Like The Mermaid's Mirror, I tried and tried to like it, but it was just so boring, and the world of mermaids the author created was just... boring.

LoL, haven't read that one and I don't know if I will.

Yeah, I wouldn't. Unless you want a really boring book with pretty imagery, it doesn't really have anything else special about it.

LoL, true, though I did like the beginning, it was very deep and understanding.

I can't wait for this mermaid book: It sounds awesome, and I love the cover!

Hmmm, I had never heard of it! When does it come out?

May 10th 2011, and I think it's going to be awesome! Plus, I love the tattoo on her. The author's blog says it's going to be dark, which is good for those who don't like sparkly, overly perky mermaids.

LoL, that's a change.

There's also this one about a mermaid who falls in love with a winged dude. I can't wait for it, either!

Interesting, didn't you tell me about one like that months ago?

Yeah, I think so. Probably. I lose track. :D So many mermaid books are on their way this new year, I get excited!

I think mermaids are becoming more popular right now. Great for you!!

Yay! But you're more interested in angels, right? Angels are still going strong. I really want to read Angelfire, and Unearthly looks good, too.
