This Enchanted Island | Tansy Rayner Roberts
post image

I've been struggling for ages to find a cover match for Where the Drowned Girls Go, and I reckon this works! Colour, ocean theming, portal in the middle, etc. @TheAromaOfBooks #Bookchain2025

This entire Teacup Magic series is so enjoyable! It is set in a Regency-ish but more LBGTQIA+ friendly set of islands. >>

Lauredhel >> Each book has a bit of a different 'hook' - this one was Alice in Wonderland flavoured, another was more of a mystery, another a ghost story, another straight romance, etc. Kind of like LM Bujold's books. Recommended. 28m

This was recommended to me by myTBR, and I liked it. It‘s historical fiction, loosely based on a true story. Jacqoutte was a queer female pirate with her own strong code of ethics. There are many bloody battles and a love story I was there for.

ImperfectCJ myTBR: Do you use Book Riot's Tailored Book Recommendations? I had it for a few years and then canceled after I had several that just didn't hit for me, but I have been thinking about resubscribing just because it was fun and introduced me to books I wasn't as familiar with. 1w
Soubhiville @ImperfectCJ I also had it for a few years and canceled, more for me because I was doing too many bookclubs and buddyreads to keep up with the recommendations. I got a gift for one set of recommendations from them for Christmas, though, and I‘ve read 2 now and liked both. I don‘t plan to re-up anytime soon though. 1w

I didn‘t expect to enjoy this nonfiction YA book. It turned out to be quite interesting! (I listened to the audiobook) Not only does the author go into detail about the history of the ship, but he delves into the history of those who captained it, the pirates who stole it, and many other side stories that related to the Whydah. I love fiction about pirates, so I figured I would give this particular nonfiction title a try, and I am glad I did.

This book is badass and I can‘t wait for more of the nakhudha‘s adventures. “What madness to gaze upon the violent chaos and cruelty of this world and have faith!”

3.5/5 ⭐️ This adventure traveled over land and sea and I enjoyed it all. I even shed some tears here and there.

This was an absolute delight of a book with unbridled feral energy. My new comfort read.

I cannot recommend the audiobook enough. The voices are amazing and the narrator gives Avra the right amount of manic, racoon energy that brings him to life.

lil1inblue You had me at “unbridled feral energy.“ 😍 Stacked. 3w
PuddleJumper @lil1inblue 🤣🤣 I giggled out loud several times 3w
