Welcome to the Under The Sea Giveawy Hop, hosted by The Musings Of ALYMBNENR and I Am A Reader Not A Writer and is all about books with water themes, whether fantastical or not!
The only book I've read recently that features anything watery is Aimee Friedman's Sea Change but one of my favorites of the last few years is Elementals - Water by Peter Dickinson and Robin Mckinley, a book of six short stories featuring watery themes!
The winner will get to choose a watery themed book of their choice from the Book Depository as long as they live in a country that BD delivers too.

OKAY.. this is a hard question! Mermaid wise.. I have a few favourites - I loved Monstrous Beauty, Ripple, and Fathomless.. all gorgeous ad super-dooper well-written. Other than that.. well, there is always The Dressmaker.. it's about Titanic, and we all know what happened to it.. does that count? :) I don't think I've read any other sea-themed books :D Unless we're taking pirates and all then I guess The Treasure Island would count!:D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the contest!!
I have some International / US/Canada giveaways going on right now, too, please stop by and take a look (in the left sidebar!)

ReplyDelete-Amber Terry-
Nation by Terry Pratchett
ReplyDeleteThe one that comes to mind is "Away" by Jane Urqhart about a woman who is drawn to the water as she discovers a man who she pulled from the water---the man she falls in love with. It's a lyrical book, lovely, but sad. Thanks for the giveaway. :D
ReplyDeleteI've only read Forgive My Fins but I am dying to get my hands on Monstrous Beauty and The Brides of Rollrock Island.
ReplyDeletei loved the vicious deep
ReplyDeleteFateful by Claudia Gray
ReplyDeleteIf you consider Percy Jackson and the Olympians as a watery-themed novel then that would be my answer. I haven't read much watery-themed books.
ReplyDeleteit would probably Forgive My Fins :))
ReplyDeleteNever read one sadly. I want to read Wake and Of Poseidon though. Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many, but I'm planning to read The Brides of Rollrock Island.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any yet, but I have Of Poseidon, Sea of Change and Wake on my TBR list
ReplyDeleteWater Bound by Christine Feehan, a paranormal romance!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed The Vicious Deep by Zoraida Cordova
ReplyDeleteOOoo, I don't read many water books (I have nightmares about tidal waves), but I LOVE Christine Feehan and Water Bound was amazing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Forgive My Fins series :)
ReplyDeleteI really like 'wrecked' by anna davies :)
ReplyDeletei like STILL WATER

Madly and Tempest Rising are the only ones I've read but I liked both of them :)
ReplyDeleteI love Siren =)
ReplyDelete@Tibiux
I love mermaids and one of my favorite books is Forgive My Fins. Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win!
ReplyDeleteA Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L'Engle ^.^
ReplyDeleteI always thought that I had read a ton of books about water and mermaids, but looking at my list of read books, I really haven't. I suppose my most recent mermaid read would be Florence.
ReplyDeleteWake by Amanda Hocking
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately it was Andersen's fairy tale The little mermaid- I adore this but nothing else as I remember...
ReplyDeletethanks
I like ones with pirates and sea treasures
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any recent ones, but I love Island of the blue Dolphins when I was growing up
ReplyDeleteWake.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many water themed books, when I was little I loved the Little Mermaid. In The Fault in Our Stars water was used as a symbolism and I really enjoyed that book. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any that I really loved, but I have Wake here in my TBR and I'm hoping to like it!
ReplyDeletePenny Pe
Of Poseidon (:
