The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists | 
so-soBetween a so-so and a pan. Maybe I wasn‘t in the right mood for this (reading about more sea voyages after finishing Life of Pi probably wasn‘t the best choice) or maybe pirates just aren‘t for me in general, but I didn‘t find the silliness to be as smart and funny as the author thought it was. It was blessedly very short, so at least it was a brief struggle.
My first July #roll100 is complete!
So I started reading The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon and within the first chapter I envisioned these characters from the movie pictured. So I looked up the movie on IMDB and see it‘s from one of the books in the series In An Adventure with Scientists. How cool is that? The movie is funny with lots of pirate jokes! Thanks @DinoMom for The Pirates! Books!

No #skullandcrossedbones on my shelves, but I do have a skull and crossed swords on the cover of this goofy book that's still To Be Read about pirates chilling with Charles Darwin. They made a goofy stop-motion animated film about it too I believe. #pirateslife #whatawaytolive
Our housemate has a pretty epic personal library (my estimate is probably about 1000 books? The total physical book collection in our house is nearly 4,000 books, plus tons of audio & e-books), these are a couple of books I have borrowed from her over the years. #booktober #somethingborrowed
'Let's set a course'- at this point the Pirate Captain paused in what he hoped would be dramatic and exciting fashion- 'for adventure!'
The crew just gave him a bit of a collective blank look. The Pirate Captain sighed.
'All right,' he said with a bit of a pout, 'south.'
pickThis irreverent comic gem is quotably hilarious at every turn! Pirates adventure to rescue Charles Darwin's kidnapped brother. Yes, that is a ham on the cover. You can't properly enjoy an adventure without ham.
