pickThis was completely different from the usual types of books I read. I think I'll check out some other swashbuckling pirate books. Peter Blood is sent into slavery in the Caribbean, escapes, and becomes a feared pirate. #Booked2022 #NauticalNovel @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @alisiakae
It‘s Talk Like a Pirate Day, so I‘m taking a short break from my Banned Books Week TBR to start Captain Blood on audiobook. 🖤🏴☠️🖤
#CuriousCovers #Patterns
I don‘t read too many books with patterns on the cover. I had to go back many books to find this one, which I think has a wavy pattern in the background.
Love a good pirate 🏴☠️ Captain story!
1) Recommended this to a friend just last week. He loves it!
2) Mission Impossible: Fallout. Er, I don't watch movies much?
3) Watermelon, for sure!
4) Oh goodness. 20-odd first cousins, the last time I checked.
5) @Monstershaped welcome to Litsy!

pickStory of a doctor who turns into a pirate. Prey of injustice. His story will move you
The husband surprised me with these antique bookends for my birthday. I think he's a keeper! 😉
so-soAvast, ye lubbers, here‘s a fine tale of hearty men, stout ships, proud wenches, (well, one anyway) and brave deeds! ... I‘m declaring this one a No Guilt Read. Read what you want, put it down when you want, pick it back up only if you want, and have some fun with it. It‘s not to be taken too seriously.

I've been so stressed lately because Leo's been sick, that I desperately needed something undemanding to read. When Captain Blood showed up as a freebie yesterday I knew that was exactly what I needed. I have always enjoyed Raphael Sabatini's writing and last night I settled in, I read, I forgot my problems. It was great.
Another from my Kindle #tbr. This time, a fictional #piratesofthecaribbean I ❤️ the Errol Flynn film and will eventually get around to reading this.

The male pirate who started it all in the movie that started it all for me. Errol Flynn was pretty much my first everything. When I read the novel Captain Blood, it was his voice I heard in my head. I was lucky enough to be the production editor on the Penguin Classics edition. #PiratesLife #WhatAWayToLive
A man must sometimes laugh at himself or go mad,‘ said he. ‘Few realize it. That is why there are so many madmen in the world.
pickA swashbuckling classic. ☠️ Dr. Peter Blood is wrongly convicted of treason after the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion and escapes his Caribbean enslavement to seek vengeance and clear his name ... by turning PIRATE. #FullofAdventure and highly deserving of a wider, modern audience. #Booktober
pickYep that Captain Blood, the basis of the Errol Flynn movie. Peter Blood, a skilled fighter and seaman has retired from the seas and is now practicing his original career as a doctor. Caught up in Monmouth's, Blood treats rebels and loyalists alike and as a result is exile as a prisoner to Barbados
