Siren Inspired Reads

Friday, September 12, 2008 at 6:00 AM

I was online the other day (imagine that) browsing through the abundance of books and I came across a siren inspired book. It got me to wondering how many mermaid themed books are there? I know I haven't seen many. There were quite a few adult themed mermaid books, but these are the ones I could find for the YA audience. I actually haven't read any of them. Which is something I think I will have to rememdy. What about you, any of these covers look familiar?

Ink Mage said...: Let me see, I've read...
Ingo (as I remember very, very juvenile and I was never interested in the next 3 in the series)

Kara Dalkey's Water trilogy (good, not great)

Sirena (a long time ago, don't remember it very well)

I want to read Midnight Pearls

and I haven't read any of the others, but I also found The Mermaid Summer, by Mollie Hunter.; September 12, 2008 8:27 AM

Amee said...: I've heard of Aquamarine but haven't read any of the either.

The Mermaid Chair by Sue Monk Kidd is more adult but still an awesome book. You should read it as well. ;); September 12, 2008 11:34 AM
Meredith said...: I read Midnight Pearls. It was very good; although I love that entire series of retold fairy tales.

And I read Teenage Mermaid. It was an interesting book, with a fascinating setting and plot.
