I’m going to make this post a little different. Normally it would be a what I’ve read (you can see that in my reviews) what I’m currently reading, and what I’m going to read! Well, I just got a new book haul, so I’m going to focus on what I’m going to read next!!
I’m going to be doing a Mermaid Week in August, so I was getting prepared!!
The Mermaid Handbook: Carolyn Turgeon
Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch: Serena Valentino
The Mermaid:Christina Henry
And on the EBook Front for this:
Dark Water: J.A Armitage
The Mermaid’s Sister: Carrie Anne Noble
Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone: G.S. Denning
Heartsone: Elle Katharine White
Neverworld Wake: Marisha Pessl
Clockwork Angels: Kevin J. Anderson and Neil Pert (for the Canadian in me)
The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue: Mackenzi Lee
How to Stop Time: Matt Haig
Portnoy’s Complaint: Philip Roth (for my sexy Sunday collaboration with Food in Books)
How to Tell if your Cat is Plotting to Kill You: Matthew Inman, The Oatmeal
Awesome 😃. Great haul. Very curious to the unfortunate souls book. She was awesome in the movie and has one of the best baddies songs

Sirens and mermaids. The sirens are the focus, but they characteristics of a mermaid, live underwater and stuff. it was a real page turner. Both mc’s are the evil, bad people doing the wrong for the greater good of their nation.
