Seize the Tuesday is a book blogger meme created by Adi Alsaid and the Let’s Get Lost Buddies Street Team, to share stories about how we’ve seized the Tuesday, with a special focus on the particular book we're reading. We’ll post on as many Tuesdays as possible and share our posts online with the hashtag:#LetsAllGetLost. If you loved Let’s Get Lost then join the LGL Buddies on Facebook and help promote the book!

The Summer of Chasing Mermaids

Author: Sarah Ockler
Pages: 368
Publishing by: Simon Pulse
Publishing on: June 2 2015
The youngest of six talented sisters, Elyse d’Abreau was destined for stardom—until a boating accident took everything from her. Now, the most beautiful singer in Tobago can’t sing. She can’t even speak. Seeking quiet solitude, Elyse accepts a friend’s invitation to Atargatis Cove. Named for the mythical first mermaid, the Oregon seaside town is everything Elyse’s home in the Caribbean isn’t: An ocean too cold for swimming, parties too tame for singing, and people too polite to pry—except for one. Christian Kane is a notorious playboy—insolent, arrogant, and completely charming. He’s also the only person in Atargatis Cove who doesn’t treat Elyse like a glass statue. He challenges her to express herself, and he admires the way she treats his younger brother Sebastian, who believes Elyse is the legendary mermaid come to life.  When Christian needs a first mate for the Cove’s high-stakes Pirate Regatta, Elyse reluctantly stows her fear of the sea and climbs aboard. The ocean isn’t the only thing making waves, though—swept up in Christian’s seductive tide and entranced by the Cove’s charms, Elyse begins to wonder if a life of solitude isn’t what she needs. But changing course again means facing her past. It means finding her inner voice. And scariest of all, it means opening her heart to a boy who’s best known for breaking them . . .

How did I Seize the Tuesday?

I am currently at the Fierce Reads Spring Fling signing! Yay! I absolutely love going to book signings. I get to meet authors and other people who love books just as much as I do! I have never been to a Fierce Reads but have attended other signings. The signing i'm attending has Lynne Matson, Katie Finn, Marie Rutkoski, and Lindsey Smith. Let me know if you have read any of their books! (We could definitely fangirl about them together. ;)) Hopefully I have a great time and make sure to check these authors out! They are awesome! Also, a recap of the event will be published hopefully by Thursday, so stay tuned for that. Bout of Books started yesterday and I am super excited for that! If you're participating, let me know!

Also, for the people who read last week's STT, I made 2/3 of my predictions correct. :D

So how can you Seize the Tuesday? Well go outside, learn something new, pamper yourself! Spread around this Seizing and enjoy the day! Or should I say…Seize? So tell me: How have you Seize the Tuesday?
