Seahorses. When I was a kid, we would have salt water aquariums every summer. We would go to the beach, go onto the jetty, and collect our summer visitors. Once we had a seahorse. I was sooo happy. I live them to pieces. And this boom is full of the #mythslegendsofthesea about this amazing #undertheseacreatures #PiratesLife #WhatAWayToLive

CrowCAH Sounds like such a fascinating book! 8y

I have long loved the legend of the selkie--it's one of my favorite #mythslegendsofthesea This is a beautiful book about the myth and the seal people in Scotland. It has a real sense of place. It's a very lovely book. #PiratesLife #WhatAWayToLive

CrowCAH I've heard of the selkies, an interesting myth and/or legend. 8y

I maybe have a slight obsession with the Loch Ness Monster. #MythsLegendsOfTheSea #WhatAWayToLive #PiratesLife

rubyslippersreads ❤️ Nessie! 8y
CrowCAH I am still fascinated with the Nessie, since I first saw a documentary on her when I was young. I still feel there is a real monster in the water, even though others have tried to disprove it. Great myth and legend!!! 😊 8y

Kraken | China Miville

A random selection of books featuring #bodiesofwater, most of which are fictional, for #MayBookFlowers. Going to say the Kraken and the Mary Celeste count as #mythslegendsofthesea for #pirateslife #whatawaytolive

It's been a few weeks since I made a big deal about Kraken and how you should read it. I'm slipping.

CrowCAH Great choices! 8y
Moray_Reads Kraken was my first China Miéville, haven't looked back since 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk @Moray_Reads I'm so glad I totally judged Perdido Street Station by its cover years ago. I picked it up when it and King Rat were his only published works. 8y
Moray_Reads @TobeyTheScavengerMonk I read Kraken shortly after I first read Neverwhere which is why I think that had never really been one of my favourites​ by Gaiman, it was just overwhelmed by Miéville 8y

I did a Goodreads search looking for books for #mythslegendsofthesea since I couldn't find anything on my shelves, and this series popped up. Has anyone read these? I'm sorely tempted to add at least the first one to my #TBR. #whatawaytolive #pirateslife #romantsy

CrowCAH No I hadn't heard of this book/series, but this does sound promising! Poseidon is a good myth/legend, great Goodreads searching skills! 😉 8y
ScientistSam It's been awhile, but I think I read one or two and enjoyed them. I looked them up after enjoying the books she wrote under the name Alesia Holliday 8y
JoRead Sounds intriguing 8y
melissanorr I've read several and enjoyed them. They are solid paranormal romance with some unique points and characters. 8y

Tears of the Sea | MaryLu Tyndall

Mermaids and pirates and warlocks, oh my! This is an enchanting tale of love, hope, and sacrifice, and I enjoyed it when I read it a couple years ago. (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.) #MayBookFlowers #BodyOfWater #WhatAWayToLive #PiratesLife #MythsLegendsOfTheSea

CrowCAH OMG I 😍 ML Tyndall!!! Her Legacy of the Kings Pirates series is just fantastic!!! Try it if you haven't already. Great choice for this challenge! 8y

Odyssey | Homer

It has been such a long time since I read the Odyssey that I don't remember much of it. However, I do remember the Sirens. So tempting, and so deadly - a terrifying myth.

CrowCAH A great classic full of action, adventure and mythical creatures! Great choice 😁 8y

Throughout the POTC universe, there are many #MythsLegendsOfTheSea, which play an integral part to the plot.

Pictured here is the Chest of Davy Jones and the key that unlocks it, and Cpt Jack Sparrow's compass that doesn't point north but to what you want most. What you want most is to find the key to find the chest to stab the thump thump to call off beastie. 😉
