Seabreeze_Reader 🎃🙂🎅🏻 That reminds me of my Wednesday grocery shopping. Other than a few sad, lonely pumpkins,all the Halloween stuff had disappeared and the shelves were stocked with all things green and red. The Nightmare Before Christmas, lol. (edited) 7d

Voyage: A Novel of 1896 | Sterling Hayden

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Master and Commander | Patrick O'Brian

Did an episode on The Wager. We talked scurvy, old timey wooden ships, and whether it'd be okay for Jerry Jones to press gang Tom Brady out of retirement.

The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton's Endurance | Mensun Bound

pick

Catching up on the weekends reading- this was my #doublespin for Aug and I found it absolutely riveting! Probably not for everyone but I found it genuinely suspenseful & also enjoyed the extracts from various diaries of those on the original Endurance expedition!

TheAromaofBooks Ooooo I am definitely going to get a copy of this for my husband! He and my dad and my brothers and my grandpa literally all took turns reading Endurance last year and they all were so into it that I didn't even bother reading it myself because every time I saw any of them they started telling me more about it 😂

The Bedford Incident | Mark Rascovich

pick

This is a sturdy novel about a Cold War destroyer captain who plays too close to the edge in games with a Soviet sub. A jaded rapscallion of a press liaison is on hand as the audience surrogate, watching with suspicion as the captain‘s fanatical (and also surprisingly complex) nature is slowly revealed and the crew is amped up to a state of constant tension. Definite Caine Mutiny vibes with a touch of nuclear war…I mean, warning.

From the Newbury winner for OUT OF THE DUST (my favorite YA book of all time): Eleven-year-old Nicholas Young is about to embark on the journey of his life. In August 1768, he sneaks on board the H.M.S. Endeavour , piloted by famous explorer Captain James Cook, only to find that the ship is destined for an exciting adventure around the world.

Daisey This is one I was thinking about as well. Good choice! 3mo
