Book blog: Mermaid with a Book

[Sherl]

Hey there fellow mers! I haven't been on here for a really long while, because I often feel really detached from the mermaiding community - not being in an ideal situation to be able to own/make a tail and all that - but I've finally found a way to bring a piece of my love for mermaids into my life.

In June this year I started a book blog called Mermaid with a Book (http://www.mermaidwithabook.blogspot.com) (I don't know why it took me so long to pick that name) and wanted to see how far it could go. I'm happy to say that the blog will be four months old this October (: I mostly review Young Adult fiction there, like Carolyn Turgeon's Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale (http://mermaidwithabook.blogspot.com/2013/09/review-mermaid-twist-on-classic-tale-by.html). I hope some of you will visit! Thanks for reading, have a great day/night wherever you are ;)
