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.

AllDebooks I've yet to start my Tudor pick. I love pirates, can't wait. I've selected

Pirate Women: The Princesses, Prostitutes, and Privateers Who Ruled the Seven Seas

BarkingMadRead I still have to start my Tudor book! I will check and see what my pirate pic is! 2d

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

Karisimo Sounds interesting!!

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

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. 👍 2d

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. 2d

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead lots of time. 2d

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! 1d

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

BarkingMadRead

Pirate Latitudes

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

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

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

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

The Wise Woman: A Novel

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

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

Cuilin @Amiable Are you liking it? 1d

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. 1d

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

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. 1d

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

dabbe @Amiable Are you liking it? 🤩 1d

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

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

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

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!

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

julieclair Tagging my other possible choice

Blackbeard the Pirate: A Reappraisal of His Life and Times

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. 😄 3h

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

The Pirate Bride: Daughters of the Mayflower -
