The Oyster Thief

My current read. I‘ve been wanting to read a mermaid book for a while and was happy when I came across this.

Also, any crocheters or knitters out there who have a bit of free time and blue yarn interested in joining the #HatNotHate mission? The mission is to make blue hats for anti bullying awareness that will be distributed to children in schools in October. Here‘s the website for more info.

https://hatnothate.org/

TheBookAddict I‘m committing to 7 hats, since I have a very limited supply of blue yarn. All I have is what‘s in my bag. 5y

bailed

I gave this one 100 pages, and couldn‘t keep going for almost 300 more. While I feel badly b/c it was given to me for review, I also don‘t. Faruqi‘s intentions are good, but she needed a stern editor to pull her back. The oceanic descriptions are meant to be interesting but overwhelmed me with detail and dullness. And I did not care for the characters in the least.

bookseller_cate This is why all reviews can drive sales. 😊 What made you unable to finish is just the kind of thing that intrigues me. I will look this one up. 😊💛 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @bookseller_cate I‘m happy to send you my copy, if you‘d like. 5y

bookseller_cate @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thanks for the offer. I‘ve already got it on hold from my local library. 😊💛 5y

JanuarieTimewalker13 Sometimes, you just gotta bail !!! I do it when I feel my life is too short for boring...lol 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @bookseller_cate Okay. I‘m curious to hear what you think. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JanuarieTimewalker13 Thanks. Yup, that‘s my theory also. 5y

B.Reader I have this one on my shelf and have been apprehensive! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @B.Reader Maybe you‘ll like it more than I did. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y

I started this yesterday, but was tired and kept falling asleep. I hope that‘s not an omen. So far, the writing isn‘t top notch but I‘m hoping for a strong story. #mermaids #underwaterfantasy #learnaboutouroceans

Jas16 I am so curious about this one. Looking forward to your review. 5y

LauraJ The Jodi Picoult quote on the front is very noncommittal. 😹 5y

readordierachel The cover sure is pretty. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @LauraJ Right? I was taught that saying something or someone is “unbelievable” can get you out of lying to make someone feel better. This quote is nearly the same thing, I think. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @readordierachel Isn‘t it? 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jas16 I‘ll try to remember to tag you! 5y

BooknerdsLife Hope the book has gotten better for you 😅🙌🏼 LOL @LauraJ that‘s exactly what I thought after reading that quote 😂 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jas16 I‘m working on the review. But it‘s a DNF for me. I‘m happy to send it to you if you‘re curious to give it a shot anyway. 5y

Jas16 That is so generous of you but I completely trust your opinion. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jas16 Aww. No pressure for me, right? 😝 5y

I know logically that taking a salt bath while reading a mermaid book won‘t turn me into a mermaid like Madison from Splash...but a girl can dream 💙🌊

Dolly 😂 That cup is gorgeous! 6y

I really loved this book. I thought it was an original concept. Coralline is a mermaid 🧜‍♀️ set to marry her boyfriend in a couple of weeks. Then the unthinkable happens and her brother ends up gravely ill. With the help of her Whale shark best friend, Coralline sets off on a quest to find a magical elixir to save her bother.

Book mail! Yesterday, an ARC of the tagged mermaid story. I‘m intrigued! And my #lmpbc book has come home. Can‘t wait to see everyone‘s notes. Thanks @tjwill for all your sweet goodies too! 💙

#nfornonfiction

tjwill I‘m glad that it made its way home safely! You‘re welcome! I enjoyed being in #lmpbc with you! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill I enjoyed our group as well! Maybe another nonfiction group in the next round ... 6y

tjwill Yes, I think they just started a new one, but I was too busy to think of signing up. I would be up for the next round, though! 6y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @tjwill They did. I couldn‘t do it either, but maybe next time! 6y

Cathythoughts This all looks lovely 💕💕💕 6y

This book is SO at the top of my TBR! I don‘t buy new books very often, but I may have to make an exception and ask for it this year for my birthday next month. Because I really want to read it!!!
