I‘m pleased to be back on board and in the early 19th century with Captain Jack Aubrey and Dr. Stephen Maturin as they sail to what was then known as New Holland (Australia) and the Spice Islands (Indonesia). This is book five in the 20 book Aubrey-Maturin series.

So, I'm doing a puzzle that's taking forever. It's monopolizing my saloon table, so many audio books have gone into my jigsaw and I'm only a third of the way through 😯
If I could redesign my table to have all of these compartments and drawers that would be awesome. (Picture ruthlessly nicked from Facebook).

Godmotherx5 What a cool table. We limited space so puzzling has been neglected. Good luck with your puzzle. 7y

julesG @AceOnRoam I'm going to share this picture with my father. He likes woodworking/carpentry and it would be the perfect gift for my daughter and me. 7y

If you like solid history and a rousing story, this is for you. Hornblower redone with better history and amusing writing. Read one and you will want them all.

I just discovered this series and yes ... I am officially obsessed. I raced through the first five books and am now in a self-enforced break (to spread out the enjoyment even more). Anyone else in love with Aubrey and Maturin?!
