Mermaid Books

Mermaid books are great gift ideas not only for birthdays and holidays, but all year round for those who love to read about some mystical characters. Books come in three types: paperback, hardcover and digital (e-books, kindle, etc...) so you have options.

An author from Chicago, Tara Gabrys, has released her debut young adult fantasy novel "Under a Violet Moon". This is a story that is full of intrigue, romance, eye-opening realizations and some tough choices for Cealene, an heiress of Aqualasia Islands as well as a mermaid of the sea. She is caught between two worlds and needs to make some decisions and that is where her adventure begins.

• Mermaids of Earth really did an outstanding job at categorizing the Mermaid statues by country that exist on planet Earth.

While it is true that websites, blogs, podcasts, Instagram posts and reading online mermaid articles are good sources of stories and photos (and we love them), mermaid fiction books can really deep dive into character development, plots, sub-plots, romance, twists, turns and great endings. Let the words take you into a faraway fantasy and if you are lucky, you might get educated along the way in a deep, meaningful way.

A mermaid book is a conversation starter and a magnet for fellow mermaid enthusiasts. It becomes a bonding experience, as you connect with like-minded individuals who appreciate the beauty and allure of mermaids. Be prepared for compliments, questions, and the joy of finding kindred spirits who share your passion for all things mermaid as you enjoy reading the same or similar material.
