#OnThisDay in 1881 Treasure Island began serialization in Young Folks children's magazine. It proved less-than-popular in serialized form, children complained at the slow pacing, but its following grew one published as a complete novel. In the ensuing century and (nearly) a half, it has become one of the most adapted works in the English language (once the Muppets have a version, you know it's a hit!). #HistoryGetsLIT

I attended the Romeo Peach Festival in Michigan. At the art fair there was vendor Holly Sifferman Bookfolding (Etsy and Facebook). Isn‘t this TALL SHIP AMAZING?!!!!

Audiobook from LibriVox.

I took a picture of my #indiebookstore haul and forgot to post it! They have a big front window that they like to paint, and right now there‘s a big sailing ship. #pirates #artfulaugust

I'm super excited about participating this challenge, hosted by @aperfectmjk !! You create a GR shelf labeled “trapped on an island“ and then get matched up to someone else, picking books from their list that they “have“ to read that month because those are the “only“ books that survived the shipwreck and washed up on the island with them! 😂 Looking forward to both picking and reading books for this one!! #trappedonanisland

This was my #BookSpin for May, and another classic checked off the list!! Despite genuinely loving the Muppet version of this story, I had never read the original. It was a lot of fun, even if completely implausible, and I can see why it kept young lads in 1883 glued to the pages! Personally, I like the Muppets better - Stevenson's version is sadly lacking in catchy musical numbers. Still a fun read!!

This edition includes The Ebb-Tide, which I⬇️

Trying to read some more classics via Serial app. Enjoying combining serial issues with free audiobook versions. 30 mins well-spent each morning!

A grand adventure! And I think I am a little bit in love with Long John Silver. #Booked2022 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed island; and the worst dreams that ever I have are when I hear the surf booming about its coasts, or start upright in bed, with the sharp voice of Captain Flint still ringing in my ears: ‘Pieces of eight! pieces of eight!'

Saw a couple of my Litsy friends talking about this one recently and prompted me to grab my own copy, never read this classic before 🏴‍☠️

"??-??-?? ??? ? ?????? ?? ???." ??‍☠️

I guess there's a reason why people are still reading this novel 140 years after it was written, it's a real treasure.

This is the first book I've read by fellow Scot, Robert Louis Stevenson and it won't be my last.

I'm already looking forward to checking out "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde"

In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to watching "Muppet Treasure Island" with the kids. ?

This was a fun adventure tale, with bloodthirsty pirates, buried treasure, and a heroic boy narrating most of it. Long John Silver is a kind of terrifying villain, charismatic and brutal by turns. Squire Trelawney is an idiot and responsible for hiring a crew of pirates who try to kill him and his compatriots. #roll100 #5 @PuddleJumper

Thanks for the tag @Eggs

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1) Sometimes, yes.

2) Can't think of one that I want to read and haven't yet. I'd like to reread Treasure Island, not sure why though.

How about you, @RaeLovesToRead @kwmg40 @gradcat @Susanita?

My #Roll100 picks for March are the tagged for #5 and Guns, Germs, and Steel for #28 and I‘m looking forward to both. March is going to be crazy so I‘m scaling down my reading plans, but 🤞🏻 I‘ll complete these two.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ First off, I apologize....but I am catching up on reviews. This is the first book I finished this month. #LitsyLove #August #Bookspinbingo #classics https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/788990924

Here‘s my review for another book I finished listening to. I‘m counting this book for #bookishbingo for the prompt “Audiobook” and I‘m counting this book for reading challenges that I‘m participating in this year.

☑️Read A Book Set On A Beach Or An Island - #tbrknockout
☑️It‘s On A Ship! - #beatthebacklist
☑️A Book Set Mostly Or Entirely Outdoors - #popsugarreadingchallenge2021

🎧📚 Jim Hawkins is an innkeeper who meets an old sailor Who dies mysteriously. Jim finds a treasure map and all sorts of tomfoolery ensues when he finds buried TREASURE!!

Treachery! Murder! Mutiny! Castaways!

And at the center of everything is the baddest evilest pirate ever to sail the high seas, Long John Silver!! So bad they named a chain of fast food fish restaurants after him! He‘ll stop at nothing to get that booty!

⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4 👇🏻

Treasure Planet is one of my absolute favorite Disney movies!

I am so excited to listen to this audiobook and see how different it is from the movie.

Has anyone listened this?

I can totally see how it's a classic. What an adventure!

March 14/25 #LitsyLove

Another Middle Grade book AND a classic! “Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum!” A classic pirate tale and an Audie award winner. I liked this version a lot especially Jim Hawkins. His mother was great, too. I can imagine myself on an adventure like that with my son. Long John Silver was portrayed well, too. #100YEARS100BOOKS #BookSpinBingo #1 #BFC21 #MGMarch #MarvellousMarch

Audible Originals takes to the high seas to bring to life this timeless tale of pirates, lost treasure maps and mutiny, starring Catherine Tate (BAFTA-nominated, The Catherine Tate Show, The Office, Doctor Who), Philip Glenister (Outcast, Life On Mars), Owen Teale (Game of Thrones, Pulse, Last Legion)...

An adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, it is a classic tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book on 14 November 1883 by Cassell & Co., it was originally serialized in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881 and 1882. The dialogue was trite and at times repetitive

My curiosity, in a sense, was stronger than my fear.

I'm a huge fan of pirates' novels and movies!
As imagined, I loved this book!
I don't understand why I've waited so long to read it!
Shame on me!

#pirates #stevenson #treasureisland #classic #englishliterature #loveit #longjohnsilver #jimhawkins

So glad Barnes and Noble has these abridged chapter-book classics for kiddos (and with super cute cover work!)

My six year old also wanted different books to keep her mind off things, so we hand picked this summer haul together!

Sir, with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth.

Have not read this since i was a teen, time to join old barbeque once more

#7days7books 7 books that made a deep impression or changed me.

Book 3 Treasure Island
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have read this book countless times over the years. I think that Long John Silver is one of the greatest literary characters ever. I still dream about finding pirate treasure one day.

DONE! I gave myself some extra time on the #WIDEHORIZONSREADATHON since I started a little late. All goals met, THANK YOU @SquidgetsRoom 🥰📚

When you decide to do a big book organize and find a book that belonged to your father. My father passed away last July. I read this book when I was probably a teen! Wouldn't it be dangerous if books were still 49 cents? lol #bookmemory

I so love these audible originals. This was so much fun. The actors brought this story to life and I couldn‘t stop listening. Love the story as well. I didn‘t realize this is where Long John Silver came from 🤪. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all the stars for this one.

Starting this audiobook for #cc50

Starting my reading for this year with this beloved classic. How did i never read this before! 😱
#classicschallenge2020

Happy New Year! 🎈

I needed to squeeze one more book in this year to make my reading challenge. So I thought I would give Treasure Island a go, unfortunately it was an abridged version. I will definitely need to go back and read the full version. This was quite a good listen. I can imagine the full version would be a swashbuckling suspenseful tale.

The #Jolly Roger is synonymous with pirates. Which reminds me, I really must make an effort@to read Treasure Island next year.
