Books and Bikinis Summer Reading Challenge

Life After Jane is hosting this rocking idea of a summer reading challenge; Books and Bikinis.

Yes girls and boys summertime is upon us and that means it's time for BEACH READS! To get in the summer spirit and to help cool you off, I'm proposing the Books and Bikinis Summer Reading Challenge. This is an easy one, so don't worry. All you have to do is read 10 books this summer that have a water theme! It's a great summer for it because there are so many mermaid books coming out and what better way to cool off than with stories that make a splash.
She has a great starter list over there, plus a Mr. Linky to others that have decided to take the challenge.

Here's a few books I've decided to include (links are to my review):

1. The Forbidden Sea, by Sheila Nielson
2. Sea, by Heidi Kling
3. Sea Change, by Aimee Friedman
4. The Summer of Moonlight Secrets, by Danette Haworth
5. Secondhand Charm, by Julie Berry
6. Between Two Seas, by Marie-Louise Jensen
7. Star Crossed, by Linda Collison
8. Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tail, by Carolyn Turgeon
9. Everlasting, by Angie Frazier
10. Girl in The Shadows: Daughters of the Sea, by Kathryn Lasky

Thank you so much for joining! All of those books make me want to skip work and hang out by the pool.

You could go to Netgalley and read The Mermaid's Mirror, which was a nice read.
