Pirates | Matthew Craig

#BookedInTime @Cuilin

In February we head out into the wild seas and against all rational advice we search for pirates. 🏴‍☠️
Q1. How is the Tudor times going?
I read Dissolution and loved it. Cromwell made an appearance.
Q2. Do you have a book in mind yet for Pirates?
I‘m bringing a list to the library, Libby.

Answers in the comments. As always, everyone is welcome.

BarkingMadRead I still have to start my Tudor book! I will check and see what my pirate pic is! 1mo

Karisimo This might be a bit of a stretch for the category, but it‘s one I really enjoyed about a female pirate with some magical elements

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

1mo

Karisimo Sounds interesting!!

Why We Love Pirates: The Hunt for Captain Kidd and How He Changed Piracy Forever

1mo

Cuilin @Karisimo oh I never got to finish Amina as I had to return it to the library. I liked what I got to read. 👍 1mo

Cuilin @AllDebooks sounds good. There are two Irish female pirates that I‘m interested in learning more about. (Anne Bonny and Gráinne Maol) I wonder if they show up in your book. 1mo

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead lots of time. 1mo

Bookwormjillk Pirates are fun! I‘ll have to do some research! I have a bunch of library books due then on to the Tudors! Thanks to a longer than usual winter break and then a snow storm I‘m back on the struggle bus this month! 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures I am going a bit rogue (fitting for pirates month!) and reading the nonfiction book

The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder

1mo

BarkingMadRead

Pirate Latitudes

1mo

Cuilin @ChaoticMissAdventures lol love it!!! Read it last year. Great book. 1mo

Amiable I‘m halfway through “Dissolution” now. 1mo

Jess861 There aren't many pirate books at my local library. I'm going to give the tagged book a go just because it's what they have. Not sure how much I'll like it though.

Corsair

1mo

Jess861 My Tudor pick was definitely something. Never quite read anything like it.

The Wise Woman: A Novel

1mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin I'll keep an eye out for them and let you know 😊 1mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk I‘m getting closely acquainted with Hoopla and Libby. 1mo

Cuilin @Amiable Are you liking it? 1mo

Cuilin @Jess861 I guess it depends on the writing style, but the actual story of the Sacking of Baltimore is really interesting. I‘m from that area of Ireland so it‘s a story I‘m familiar with. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one. 1mo

Cuilin @Jess861 I just read your review. 👍 1mo

Jess861 @Cuilin I'm very interested in the story itself but you are right about the writing style. It seems like one bad thing after another and I'm hoping it's not all war and fighting. Not that it makes a book bad but just not my personal preference. 1mo

Deblovestoread In my efforts to look to my shelves first I‘m also going a bit rogue by choosing

The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi

1mo

dabbe @Amiable Are you liking it? 🤩 1mo

dabbe So glad you loved DISSOLUTION! 🤩 #shardlakerocks 1mo

rubyslippersreads I‘m behind on the Tudor era, but if it‘s not too much trouble, I‘d like to change my book to

The Waiting Game: The Untold Story of the Women Who Served the Tudor Queens: A History

1mo

rubyslippersreads @AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead I‘m glad I‘m not the only one who‘s behind. 😄 1mo

Itchyfeetreader I am plodding on with my Tudor book - I feel like I have read so much in this period I almost feel like i have read it before but I have not! For feb I am going YA with the tagged book

Pirates!

1mo

julieclair Can‘t wait to start my Tudor book! For February, I‘m either going to read Blackbeard the Pirate or this one about Grace O‘Malley

The Pirate Queen: In Search of Grace O'Malley and Other Legendary Women of the Sea

1mo

julieclair Tagging my other possible choice

Blackbeard the Pirate: A Reappraisal of His Life and Times

1mo

Amiable @dabbe @Cuilin I am. Although I was simultaneously reading the latest Louise Penny and it also involved an Abbott and a monastery so I was getting a bit confused going back and forth between the two. 😄 1mo

sblbooks I found two Christian historical romances. They should be easy reads.

The Pirate Bride: Daughters of the Mayflower -

1mo

sblbooks ...and

Across the Ages (Timeless Book #4)

1mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads New one on the spreadsheet! 🤩 1mo

dabbe @julieclair On the spreadsheet! 🤩 1mo

dabbe @Amiable #ruhroh! I just finished THE CRUELEST MONTH and will be on to book 4. Loving this series! 🤩 1mo

dabbe @sblbooks Both are on the spreadsheet! 🤩 1mo

rubyslippersreads @dabbe Thank you! Now I have to find a 🏴‍☠️ book. 1mo

Cuilin @julieclair My sisters and I grew up learning and almost hero worshiping Grace O Malley also known in Irish as Gráinne Maol or Granuaile. (edited) 1mo

Cuilin @Amiable that would confuse me too lol. 1mo

Cuilin @sblbooks 👍🏴‍☠️🙏 1mo

Cuilin @rubyslippersreads of course, sounds good. 👍 1mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads Me, too! 😂 1mo

rubyslippersreads I want to read more Georgette Heyer, and I know this one has mixed reviews, but for pirates, I‘m going with

Beauvallet

1mo

julieclair @rubyslippersreads I love Heyer! Enjoy! 1mo

julieclair @Cuilin That is so cool! 1mo
