GoldenAgeofPiracy

Treasure Island | Robert Louis Stevenson

Real pirate #treasure from the #pirateport of Port Royal. The best anniversary gift ever and it was from my sister! Port Royal was, of course, the home base for the #PiratesoftheCaribbean during the #GoldenAgeofPiracy. Until an earthquake caused it to flood and sink, a tragedy of great proportions. #PiratesLife #WhatAWayToLive

CrowCAH Wow, so cool; a real piece from Port Royal!!! Jealous, that would be so neat to add to the collection! I have replica coins, but no real one. 8y

PirateJenny I nearly died when she gave it to us. And she had a very hard time keeping it secret for so long too. My entire family knew except us 8y

Pirate Latitudes | Michael Crichton

I actually just picked this up today since it was on sale for Kindle. Good timing! #WhataWayToLive #PirateLife #GoldenAgeOfPiracy @CrowCAH

Chelsey I gotta finish this one. I started it a couple of months ago but it didn't succeed in holding my interest. It's totally in my wheelhouse though so I still want to finish it. 8y

SaraFair Let us know what you think! Looks different and enticing- 8y

CrowCAH You're right, perfect timing! ☺️ It's a really good pirate book, too! 8y

CrowCAH @Chelsey it picks up near middle and end, the first half was a little slow and setting the pieces in motion. 8y

GypsyKat @Chelsey @SaraFair @CrowCAH My TBR list is pretty long right now, so I don't think I'll be getting to it anytime soon. BUT it'll be on my kindle when I'm ready. 😊 8y

Daughter of the Pirate King | Tricia Levenseller

I'm not sure if this book is actually set during the #GoldenAgeOfPiracy... But I've seen the main character described as a "Lady Jack Sparrow," and that seems like a good way to start #PiratesLife. #WhatAWayToLive

CrowCAH

CrowCAH Perfect! ⚔️This book is on my TBR and I can't wait to see what Cpt Jackness she'll exhibit! 😊 8y

Pirate Freedom | Gene Wolfe

#PiratesLife I haven't read Pirate Freedom by one of my all-time favorite authors, but I'm certainly going to! I know it's a time travel tale, but I wasn't sure exactly when the main character travels to. Turns out it was the #GoldenAgeofPiracy #WhataWaytoLive

CrowCAH

CrowCAH This book looks amazing; added to the TBR! Morgan isn't one I read too much about, so excited he got his spotlight! ⚓️⚔️☠️ Thanks for playing!😊 8y

LeahBergen @WordWaller I picked it up used, too. Hmm... what section DID I find it in? History or sea books, I think? 😄 8y

WordWaller @LeahBergen oh nice. I put it in Military - Naval because that's where other pirate books were but other people put them in the Boating section?? I was like ???? 8y

LeahBergen @WordWaller Boating?! 😂 8y

The Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down | Colin Woodard

#whatawaytolive #goldenageofpiracy

What better way to kick off this photo challenge, than with this recent piratey #kindle #nonfiction purchase? I promise not to put this one on repeat too often for this challenge.

CrowCAH No worries; use it all you like! 😉 It's on my TBR, looks super interesting. Glad you got a good deal, or did you steal it, Pirate? Lol 8y

kendrastephaniekaryn @CrowCAH The deal was good enough to call it a steal! ☺ 8y

Pirate Latitudes | Michael Crichton

Day one of #WhatAWayToLive #GoldenAgeOfPiracy

This one is from my tbr, where it's been for a looooong time. Has anyone read it?

#PiratesLife

CrowCAH

CrowCAH Yes, I have; it's great! Loved the nautical ship sailing tactics; I learned so much. And it's kind of a suspense thriller novel. I recommend you read it! Thanks for playing 😊 8y

sprainedbrain @CrowCAH wonderful! I will get to it soon. 😃 8y

Bradleygirl I have this on dusty TBR, thanks for the bump! 8y

Melissa_J I've read it! Don't remember much about it though as I read it a loooong time ago. 8y

Dogearedcopy The weird thing is that I'm pretty sure that I read this last summer and loved it; but when I look at the book description, it's not ringing any bells! 8y

sprainedbrain @Dogearedcopy that is weird! Maybe it's one of those books that's nothing like its description. 😃 8y

The Tempest | William Shakespeare

So for #whatawaytolive #goldenageofpiracy the perfect book would seem to be Treasure Island. But shamefully, I haven't read it. Still I did a uni paper on 18th century novels - surely one of those was written pre 1750 and would fall into the Golden Age? Nope. And sorry Fanny Burney and Anne Radcliffe, you didn't feel at all piratical.
So a bit early for the golden age but Shakespeare wins for my earliest beloved tale with a shipwreck at least!

CrowCAH

CrowCAH It's perfect! 🌊 ships sail on waves, so it all works! I actually haven't read the Tempest, I probably should lol 8y
