So far, I like Nym and Ro. They are great characters and Rowan is soo much fun. So we think Nym is a dragon or just the "True Sacrifice" or is she both? What do we think about Tim? I am not sure I like this vampire yet. I still still making decisions on the doctor and the teachers. What do you think of the book so far?

thanks Emily. I love mermaids and thought it would be a fun first one. :) Once you pick your books, do mind sharing what you chose?

Welcome Sveva! Great to have you!

Welcome DruDru! Great to have you in our group! Nice to meet you!

I started one for you. If you want, you can start one as well. Is that what you had in mind. If not, please start you own thread. :)

We had a request to try a theme or topic. I thought I would make it a challenge first and see if anyone was interested. If you are all interested, we can change topic/themes every month. I will start:

Theme Challenge: Read 2 books this month with/or about mermaids.

Rules: No page limit
It is ok to reread a book
Must be something mermaid related

Anyone interested?

Welcome Charlotte! Great to have you!

I saw this morning this evening. I enjoyed it very much, I jumped 2 times. Which is great because most movies I get nothing when they are "supposed to be scary". If you are interested I would say give this movie a try!

I love the Fantastic Beast movies too and the next one comes out 11/16/18. I can't wait!

This series is from J.K. Rowling they same lady who wrote Harry Potter. I thought you may want to look into this series. You may love it as much as you love Harry Potter.

I got hooked on R.L. Stine and Judy Bloom. :)

Welcome Lauren, and Shirley! Great to meet you!

Do you like the new films Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them? So far, I enjoy the first movie and I look forward to the one coming out this year.

I have only had time for the prologue but so far I am interested!

I would love to talk books with you anytime! :)
