Temainlägg (5): Sjöjungfrur

Verkar som att vi har en vinnare i röstningen om mitt första tema ^^. I den utmaning/tävling/utvärdering som jag skrev om i det HÄR inlägget. Jättekul att ni tycker det är en kul ide. Nu får vi se om jag själv tycker det och fortsätter med det så det inte bara blir en en gångs grej, hoppas verkligen det!

Vinnaren var alltså Sjöjungfrur! (med 13 av 41 röster)
Inte temat jag själv skulle valt, var mest sugen på varulvar och drakar :P  Men ska bli kul att läsa om en genre jag inte hört så mycket om.

Eftersom jag inte redan äger någon sjöjungfrubok blir det bara 3 st jag läser denna gång. Dels för att inte beställningen ska bli för dyr :P och sen är det trevligt med en lite lättare start så att detta verkligen blir av. Stört pepp är jag iallafall! Ska bli skitkul =)!


Dessa var några av alla de böcker jag hittade med sjöjungfrur i sig:

	Forgive my fins (Fins #1) by Tera Lynn Childs:  293 pages Lily Sanderson has a secret, and it’s not that she has a huge crush on gorgeous swimming god Brody Bennett, who makes her heart beat flipper-fast. Unrequited love is hard enough when you’re a normal teenage girl, but when you’re half human, half mermaid like Lily, there’s no such thing as a simple crush.  Hmm va känner jag om den här.. verkar lite småfånig. Men kan nog vara kul att läsa ändå. Gillar omslaget, skriker YA haha.
	Tempest Rising (Tempest #1) by Tracy Deebs : 352 pages Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her-and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance. Låter ganska likt den första, verkar som om alla sjöjungfruböcker bygger på typ samma tema.
	Real Mermaids Don’t Wear Toe Rings (Real Mermaids #1) by Helene Boudreau:  224 pages First zit. First crush. First...mermaid's tail? Fourteen-year-old Jade feels like a freak-of-nature when she finally gets her first period while trying on an XL tankini at the mall. It gets worse when she runs into handsome Luke Martin in the feminine products aisle while her dad Googles 'menstruation' on his BlackBerry. But 'freak-of-nature' takes on a whole new meaning when raging hormones bring on another metamorphosis - complete with scales and a tail. When Jade learns she's inherited her mermaid tendencies from her late mother, it raises the question: if Mom was a mermaid, how did she drown? Älskar omslaget. Historien verkar helt okey. Låter som den har potential att vara ganska rolig, dock också fånig ^^
	Lies Beneath (Lies Beneath #1) by Anne Greenwood Brown:  288 pages Calder White lives in the cold, clear waters of Lake Superior, the only brother in a family of murderous mermaids. To survive, Calder and his sisters prey on humans, killing them to absorb their energy. But this summer the underwater clan targets Jason Hancock out of pure revenge. They blame Hancock for their mother's death and have been waiting a long time for him to return to his family's homestead on the lake. Hancock has a fear of water, so to lure him in, Calder sets out to seduce Hancock's daughter, Lily. Easy enough—especially as Calder has lots of practice using his irresistable good looks and charm on ususpecting girls. Only this time Calder screws everything up: he falls for Lily—just as Lily starts to suspect that there's more to the monsters-in-the-lake legends than she ever imagined. And just as his sisters are losing patience with him. Spännande, elaka monster/mördarsjöjungfrur bok. Denna vill jag läsa! Men tyvärr har den inte släppts än :(
	Ingo (Ingo#1) av Helen Dunmore: 286 sidor  För Sapphire och hennes bror Conor slås livet i spillror den dag deras älskade far Matthew rapporteras saknad efter en fisketur nära deras hem i Cornwall. Men Matthew var alltför förtrogen med havet för att bara drunkna sådär. Det var dessutom kav lugnt den natten han försvann. Några dagar senare finner man Matthews båt ute till havs, men hans kropp hittas aldrig. Sapphire och Conor lovar varandra dyrt och heligt att de en dag ska återfinna sin far. Även om det innebär att de måste resa till Ingo, den plats som Matthew alltid sjöng så vackert om. Men var ligger Ingo? Är deras far nu ett med det mytomspunna havsfolket? Kommer de att finna honom? En av få jag sett på svenska. Vilket skulle vara trevligt för att få lite omväxling men låter lite barnslig och tycker verkligen inte om omslaget..
	Everblue (Mer Tales #1) by Brenda Pandos:  304 pages Best friends share everything with each other. Or do they? Seventeen-year-old Ashlyn Frances Lanski is tired of her boring, single life. Spending time with her best friend Tatiana, dreaming about kissing Tatiana's twin brother Fin, and swimming competitively are her only sanctuary. The girls plan to leave their drab lakeside town far behind for college. But when Tatchi fails to return home after a family emergency, and no one knows where the family has gone, Ash chooses to do something drastic to find them. Ashlyn is about to discover what she’d thought to be true her whole life, wasn’t, and the truth, too fantastical to imagine. Secrets lurk beneath the deep blue waters of Lake Tahoe, secrets that will change Ashlyn's life forever Låter helt okey faktiskt =). Gillar omslaget.
	Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama : 295 pages Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences. Almost one hundred forty years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him. For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With Ezra’s help, Hester investigates her family’s strange, sad history. The answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean—but powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long ago. Har inte släppts än, men annars hade jag nog kunnat tänka mig att läsa den.
	The Tail of Emily Windsnap (Emily Windsnap #1) by Liz Kessler: 209 pages For as long as she can remember, twelve-year-old Emily Windsnap has lived on a boat. And, oddly enough, for just as long, her mother has seemed anxious to keep her away from the water. But when Mom finally agrees to let her take swimming lessons, Emily makes a startling discovery - about her own identity, the mysterious father she's never met, and the thrilling possibilities and perils shimmering deep below the water's surface. With a sure sense of suspense and richly imaginative details, Liz Kessler lures us into a glorious undersea world where mermaids study shipwrecks at school and Neptune rules with an iron trident - an enchanting fantasy about family secrets, loyal friendship, and the convention-defying power of love Väldigt sött omslag. Själva boken låter dock väldigt barnslig.
	Sea Change by Aimee Friedman: 292 pages Sixteen-year-old Miranda Merchant is great at science. . .and not so great with boys. After major drama with her boyfriend and (now ex) best friend, she's happy to spend the summer on small, mysterious Selkie Island, helping her mother sort out her late grandmother's estate.There, Miranda finds new friends and an island with a mysterious, mystical history, presenting her with facts her logical, scientific mind can't make sense of. She also meets Leo, who challenges everything she thought she knew about boys, friendship. . .and reality. Is Leo hiding something? Or is he something that she never could have imagined?
	Between the Sea and Sky by Jaclyn Dolamore: 229 pages For as long as Esmerine can remember, she has longed to join her older sister, Dosinia, as a siren--the highest calling a mermaid can have. When Dosinia runs away to the mainland, Esmerine is sent to retrieve her. Using magic to transform her tail into legs, she makes her way unsteadily to the capital city. There she comes upon a friend she hasn't seen since childhood--a dashing young man named Alander, who belongs to a winged race of people. As Esmerine and Alander band together to search for Dosinia, they rekindle a friendship . . . and ignite the emotions for a love so great, it cannot be bound by sea, land, or air. Skönt med en kort bok och att den är fristående, men annars tilltalar den mig inte. Verkar var någon mix an sjöjungfrur och änglar?
	Ripple by Mandy Hubbard: 260 pages Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn't, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love-again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead. Then Lexi finds herself torn. Against her better judgement, she's opening up agian, falling in love with someone new when she knows she shouldn't. But when she's offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free or her curse is giving him up

Uppdatering! Nu har jag köpt mina böcker, så röstningen är stängd ;)

Har inte tagit med dem som bara finns i inbundet eller som jag tycker verkar tråkiga :P och tyvärr var det många som inte ens hade släppts ännu :( verkar inte vara perfekt tajming att ha detta tema nu men men...

Tänkte att ni får välja en och att jag själv väljer de två andra, så att jag verkligen vill läsa dem =). Låter det bra?


Har ni nått annat tips som jag inte fick med här?
