Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature. Be sure to check out their lists!
Since there hasn't been much relief from the heat here, I thought I'd do a list of books that are about water, as an attempt to help us cool off. And, since I'm going to a nearby lake in a few weeks, it will help me get in the mood too!

ReplyDelete"Would You" by Marthe Jocelyn
"They Came From Below" Blake Nelson
:)
I LOVE these lists.
Dark Life by Kat Falls
ReplyDeleteAhhh ... just looking at all those pretty blue covers makes me feel cooler!
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest DARK LIFE, but NotNessie beat me to it.
Kelly and NotNessie, thanks for the suggestions :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, me too - though, I'm thinking I need a LOT more blue covers (no A/C right now!)
Siren by Tricia Rayburn. Summer vacation, romance, and mysterious water-related deaths where the victims wash ashore grinning from ear to ear. What more could you want?
ReplyDeleteAlison, ooh that does sound intriguing! I saw this one after I'd made list and was too lazy to add it. Now I can :)
ReplyDeletePatricia McKillip's "The Changeling Sea" is a favorite of mine. Going traditional, I have always loved Hans Christian Anderson's "The Little Mermaid" and I have to put in a plug for Herman Melville's "Moby Dick". Oh yes (you've got me on a roll now), and what about Robert Louis Stepehnson and "Treasure Island" or all the "Hornblower" books by C. S. Forester?
ReplyDeleteAndie, perhaps I ought to enlist you to create some lists for me! :) Thanks as always.
