Greetings readers!
I wanted to start bringing in some weekly regulars to this blog. I wanted something new and fun and thankfully, Sophie @ Blame Chocolate totally provided me with the perfect post! So many thanks go out to her!!
Theme Thursday is a new weekly feature created by Sophie @ Blame Chocolate where bloggers can share recs and newly found books featuring that week’s theme.
- There will be a different theme (genre, trope, etc) every Thursday. You can check the theme calendar here.
- Those participating have to list titles that feature that theme in some way (doesn’t have to be the main theme of the book).
- You can use the three main categories: Books I’ve Read/I’m Reading,Books I Want to Read, and Other Books That Fit The Theme but this isn’t mandatory.
- You can repeat books in different themes, if they apply, and choose as many as you want.
- You don’t have to take part every week! Just when you feel like it.
- You can use #BlameThemeThursday on Twitter and other social media to make TT posts easier to find.
- Finally, use this boxed text in your post, which doubles as a pingback. If you want, you can change the pingback link to that of that week’s post 🙂
- P.S.: Feel free to use my banners!
🍫 Books I’ve Read/I’m Reading:
SYKE.
I actually have not read a book with a mermaid…..
WAIT.
HOLD ON ONE MINUTE.
Does The Little Android by Marissa Meyer count? It is after all a retelling of The Little mermaid!
~~~
🍫 Books I Want to Read:
~~~
🍫 Other Books That Fit The Theme:
The search for mermaid books was actually a lot of fun and seeing as I have little to really no experience with mermaid books…I need to get on this! So I definitely need your help!
Let me know what you think!!! What mermaid book would you have me start with? What are some of your fave mermaid books?
Happy reading!

This is a great tag/post idea! I think I’ll do that too! And to be honest, I thought about answers and there was literally NOTHING coming to my mind! I don’t think I have ever read a mermaid book other than HP and the Goblet of Fire where there were some sea creatures during the second tournament… does that count? Anyways, these books sound super awesome!!!!

I def think that counts! But maybe we both need to read books where mermaids are the star of the show to get the full experience! XD

Aaww yay! I’m so glad to see this post ^^
And The Little Android absolutely counts! I really liked that retelling. As for the others, I hope you enjoy them when you get to them (especially To Kill a Kingdom!! ❤ <3)
For some reason I didn't get a notification that this was posted 😦 I think it's because the pingback is a shorted link… Or my wordpress is just buggy again.
Either way, I've updated the boxed text now so that it links straight to my new Theme Thursday page. If it's not too much trouble, could you update it too? Just in case someone uses yours to do the feature, and then I'll miss them T_T
Thanks so much for taking part, Rendz! You can check out the TT page calendar to know what the next themes will be 🙂 I hope you enjoyed this and will post next week as well ^^

Thanks Sophie! To Kill a Kingdom does sound quite interesting I shall get to it someday!
I will definitely redo the link. For some odd reason I didn’t see your whole comment until I opened a new page (it might be WP being buggy!)

Great post! I really want to read The Little Android. It’s been on my TBR for forever and I keep procrastinating. I don’t know why though considering it’s so short and I could easily read it! And you’ve got to read To Kill a Kingdom! It was such a good novel. I really hope you like it!

Have you not read Stars Above? It has all of Meyer’s short stories bound up for TLC ~~including the wedding epilogue~~ 🙂
To Kill a Kingdom has been on my list forever I just suck at getting to books, but I will hopefully get to this one!

I do own stars above but I’ve only read a few of the stories. I read Throne’s and wolf’s story, The Princess and the Guard and the wedding one. I keep telling myself to finish them all but I get lazy lol. And To Kill a Kingdom is really good. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!

Oooooh I didn’t realize how many mermaids books that I have read. XD I feel like they either pop up all at once or not at all. BUT I LOVED HOW YOU SLIPPED IN SOME MM. Her take on mermaids was certainly quite epic. Wonderful post, Rendz! 🙂
