1. So, I enjoyed this book. I wouldn't say it was my favorite that we have read for #PLC but I did enjoy it.

2. Not really. I mean I have a huge TBR and it keeps growing by the second. I do have others that we have read in this group that I would like to read the next books to, so, although I am glad I read it and enjoyed it, I think I am getting off at the “First Book Station“ this time around.

1. I really enjoyed it. I think this was the best of the trilogy.
2. I‘ve read the rest and was disappointed with the romance angle. But the world building really improved. Also, good villains!

I really enjoyed this months #ParanormalLoveCrew pick.

Although I wasn‘t a huge fan of the main character at first, she did grow on me. And choosing between 2 worlds is never an easy task. I‘m pretty sure I would be irritable too!
I hope to read the other 2 in this trilogy eventually (this group is really expanding my already large tbr pile!).

Bookworm54 I just finished. And I did really enjoy it. It‘s an interesting idea for mermaids, and I liked the introduction of other half human half underwater creatures too. I would probably read the others, but it‘s going to take some hunting down of books, as I would prefer to physically read them I think! 4y

So I think they made more sense than her original coupling. Like it was just one of those they “fit“ much better. I know he has to be (and it makes for a better story for him to be) but I didn't like his super “I know things but I am not telling“ type of communications. Kinda reminds me of those Facebook messages that are super vague. Like I hate to beg people to talk to me or tell me something.

#ParanormalLoveCrew (#PLC)

Bookworm54 That annoys me too. Just tell her what you know already!!! 4y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 I mean yeah!!! Ha but a lot of the YA type of stories have this ... secrets ... as a huge plot device. So I get it I just ahhh! It is irksome! 4y
Bookworm54 And love triangles. I love them but I also hate them haha 4y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 ha yes. I don't know if I was just some kind of loser but I never was a part of a love triangle. I mean ... maybe you can count this dude that my friend liked that liked me... (but I had liked him but she “claimed“ him because he was super tall and she was taller). Hmm... maybe a triangle? 4y

So Tempest has a lot going on. She seems to have taken everything well. I think it just shows so much of her character, her strength. I really did love her character.

So part of what I hated about Kona is ... he knows more of what is going on but then doesn't tell her. So that was pretty frustrating... I mean of course that creates conflict and grown on Tempest part but still! Grr.

Bookworm54 The weirdest genre in my personal opinion, is the sub genres of erotica like with dinosaurs or sentient planes... I just don‘t understand. But people obviously like reading it for some reason, and that is cool too 🤣 4y
AkashaVampie @Bookworm54 I totally get that. I thought it was a little weird when I heard it was a thing. But I dont like to judge!!! I am a weird one too! Haha 4y
aa_guer2021 @Bookworm54 weird erotica is definitely weird. But I would never judge. Books are meant to be a comfort and people like what they like. 4y
Bookworm54 @ruskigurl16 exactly. I probably read stuff that people think is weird too. It‘s just not my thing, and when I came across it I was baffled by the shear amount of it ☺️ the power of the human imagination is truly infinite! 4y

So thinking some sort of shifter type of creature. Where I can shift into whatever (think Sam from True Blood) and then just elope from my life and just be a bird for a while :)

I love the idea of having some underwater adventures. I would love it I had some sort of aqua man type powers and can talk to the animals too. I love the water! so very very much! So being a mermaid would be amazing!

Pageturner1 I don‘t have a clue about anything with mermaids. Wait! Little Mermaid 🧜‍♀️ one of my fav Disney movies. Besides that I don‘t know. 4y
Patchshank The Strange Calls had an episode involving a mermaid. I really liked that show. American Netflix only had season 1. Now I want to watch it. I hope it's still on Netflix. 4y
Tineke My daughter loves H2O or Maki Mermaids. Both same storyline. I kinda like it too. Though it's for children. 4y

Hello again Littens!!! Here with another bit of fun for #PLC day during #SocialDistancingMay and #SocialDistancingParty

Try out these Mermaid jokes. Please use spoiler tag!

Bookworm54 I‘m bad at these, but will give them a crack! What does a mermaid wear to maths class? an abracus (like abacus?). Where do mermaids see movies? The sea-nema. Where does a mermaid keep her money? I have no idea for this one...was thinking maybe a shell corporation?. What did the sea say to the mermaid? Nothing it just waved (that‘s the punchline to another joke, but oh well! Haha) 4y

I thought I‘d just start this yesterday afternoon and HAD TO FINISH IT.
I was a bit worried when it started it was going to be teenage angsty- but soon got caught up in the magic.
I have also got such cravings to go to a beach now...
Really good pick for #plc #paranormallovecrew this month for mermaids.
Going to sneak on to the sequel...

Bookworm54 Haha I love the sound of her house too! I am jealous you have finished it. I need to find more time ☺️ 4y
AkashaVampie So so glad u liked it! I'm going to be getting next month's poll up soon (I've been slacking)! 4y
ElizaMarie @Bookworm54 yes! That house sounds amazing!!! Also I love the idea of the whole thunderstorms. I think sitting in the house, watching a huge storm in the horizon... beautiful! ! 4y

Dirk Gently‘s holistic detective agency by Douglas Adams. There are only two Dirk novels and I would have loved to read more. I love the little side stories that get caught up along the way - like the sofa. And the idea of just driving and following a car because you might not end up where you intended to go but where you needed to be... quirky and funny.

wanderinglynn Me too! 👍🏻 4y
Bookworm54 I haven‘t heard of these but I enjoyed the hitchhikers books. I will have to give these a try! 4y
ElizaMarie I have only read the one Hitchhiker's Guide book. But I think he was/is a great writer so ... I'll try to check these out soon. 4y

One book I wish had a sequel is Sunshine by Robin McKinley. The world she built was so rich, I would love to see more stories set there. At least I don‘t think there is, although one was mentioned as a possibility. So maybe I will see it one day ☺️

In other news I am about 1/4 way through this months pick and liking it so far :)

I finished part one of this on my commute today.
I am quite enjoying the audiobook thing now :)

The book is definitely young adult. Some of the language used puts me off a bit at times (lots of lames for example) but the story so far is keeping me interested and I am looking forward to seeing what choices she makes as she is forced to choose between her human and mermaid halves!

Artwork is by one of my favourite artists, Victoria Frances

bibliobliss I love her art ❤️ 4y
AsYouWish Oooo I might have to look into her art for some of my backgrounds!!!! 4y
Bookworm54 @AsYouWish you should! They are all beautiful 🥰 4y
ElizaMarie Ooo that is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I finished this one a few days ago and I really did enjoy it. I have a soft spot for some YA (just the trying to go back and think of myself in the high school days)

I am glad you are enjoying audiobooks. It wasn't for me initially but not I devour them right alongside with physical and e (I am still trying to feel comfortable with the ebooks)

Tricky questions for this week!

1) Half human and half bird maybe? Kinda like an angel type thing? I can‘t imagine many animals or things I would want to be half of if it‘s physical haha

2) If I had to be physically a mermaid then I would have to stay in the water I guess? If I could choose between human and mermaid like in the book, I would probably stick with human. I would have a life on land at that point and it would be hard to break away.

AsYouWish I like to keep you all on your toes!!! Great answers!!!! I also had trouble with the first question, I didn‘t even think about an Angel!!!! 4y
ElizaMarie Being part bird would be kinda cool. Flying through the air would be amazing :) 4y

#ParanormalLoveCrew #Mermaids week 1

1) My favourite mermaid movie is Disney‘s The Little Mermaid

2) I don‘t think I have actually read a mermaid book, and if I have they haven‘t stuck with me... I have read The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson before, and the only other ones I can think of that even include mermaids are Peter Pan, and Tiger Lily. I have a mermaid book on the shelf-Into the Drowning Deep-but haven‘t read it yet!

#PLC

ElizaMarie Hey there! I haven't posted my answers yet but they will read almost identical to yours! This is my first Mermaid book. I had wanted to read the Hans Christian Anderson book when #NWC was doing fairy tales but I didn't get to it yet.

Also Ariel is the best!!!
