#AyUpAugust #UnderneathTheStars
It‘s underneath the stars that Carina is able to read the map no man can read and find the island which leads to Poseidon‘s trident 🔱!
I enjoyed this backstory of how Carina learned to study the stars ⭐️!

#AyUpAugust #HappyHour
Most of my #PnPCovers books are second hand, found at used book stores and rummage sales. Each one is special.
My happy hour is the hours I get to read!
#AyUpAugust #PillowTalk
My “ship” Star Wars to-be-colored pillow and comic book!
I (in the pirate 🏴☠️ costume) went to RenFest with @CKBrooke (in the middle) and her husband and son! We had a fantastic time!
We even stopped by Crimson Chains, the storefront of @GondorGirl !

Here‘s the hardcover section of the #PnPCovers collection!

Balls were a form of entertainment, which Jane did attend.
#AustenInAugust #BookmarkMonday
Here are my Jane Austen bookmarks!
#AyUpAugust #TooMuchTooYoung
My favorite American Girl: American Revolution time period and she rides a horse! I own this doll and horse, Penny, and all six original books (shown).
By only gripe, reading them as an adult, is ten years old is (too much) too young to be adventuring without supervision and making childish rash decisions without thinking about consequences.
I felt lucky to be doing well in school, let alone saving the country.
#AyUpAugust #OverMyShoulder
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019
My Tall Ship Celebration fun continued in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada! Six ships are docked over my shoulder; three were repeats from Bay City, but that means I saw three new ones! Due to a time constraint, I did not step foot on them, but got great pictures! 🥰
Happy National Book Lover‘s Day!

Thank you @GondorGirl for the “pirate kitty” 😺 sticker! And I noticed the Captain Hook 🏴☠️ villain stamp! 😘
#AyUpAugust #Perfect
A perfect gentleman - pirate! 🏴☠️
#AyUpAugust #AvenuesAndAlleyways
A pretty intense scene happens in an alleyway. Claire comes out unscathed, but not for her female companion.
#AyUpAugust #SomethingGood
Julie Andrews must have done something good in her youth: great career and beautiful singing voice!
#AyUpAugust #EveryKindaPeople
This book has a lot of different types of people in it.
#AyUpAugust #CryMeARiver
No tear that I can recall, but a river does run through New Orleans, Louisiana.

#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Frigates
I find the emergence of the US Navy fascinating; can‘t wait to read this for research!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Fortune
Pirates are constantly seeking their fortune; but they don‘t seem to keep it for long!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Siren
An adventurous duology with a fiesty and resourceful heroine. I enjoyed the first book over this second.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Captain
Picked up this oldie at a used book sale. Sounds like an interesting story, so at some point I‘ll give it a try.
#BookHaul
Today at SterlingFest, Sterling Heights, Michigan, was the 5th Annual Local Author Book Sale and Signing.
I purchased these books; lots of reading to do!
The 2019 edition of Sterling Script officially became available today!
I have a poem, flash fiction, and short story inside!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019
We have a week left, there‘s still time to join me crew and sail the seas for king and country or piracy!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Quest
This pirate is on a quest for his family‘s heirloom peg leg! Arrr matey!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Voyage
This is penned by a local #MittenLitten author, who was inspired by events in my pirate 🏴☠️ novel!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Treasure
A fun children‘s mystery set in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. I visited this pirate 🏴☠️ port several years ago; loved it!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Wreckers
The salvagers, those who purposely make ships run aground, so they can steal the cargo and sell it at a profit.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Doubloons
Nancy is hired for this film project, yet nothing goes to plan and there‘s a murder. She‘ll have to baton down the hatches to get to the truth. Is the doubloon treasure worth the risk?
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Wind
@VioletCavalier and I had little wind while aboard the Appledore IV sail-away excursion at the Tall Ship Celebration, but an enjoyable cruise!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019
I am here with @VioletCavalier (she on the left, me on the right). So far we‘ve toured four ships and taken a bunch of pictures! And we met Captain Jack Sparrow! 🥰
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Schooner
The day has finally come: Tall Ship Celebration in Bay City, Michigan! #MittenLitten
Schooners are the main type of ship to have sailed the Great Lakes hauling goods from one town to the next.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Clipper
You might have been wondering about the tall ship I‘ve been using in the background. Well, it‘s a model ship of the Flying Cloud. The same as outlined in the tagged book. She‘s a clipper type of masted sailing vessel.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #BlackFlag
There are a bunch of mythos out there about pirates, while some are based on truth, others are not. It‘s important to know where the two worlds collide, especially for understanding what my reading might expect in a pirate novel; pirate novel work in progress.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Hunter
This is a great book about two divers who didn‘t give up on their quest to find the sunken treasure of the Golden Fleece, Joseph Bannister‘s ship!
Thanks to fellow Litten @PirateJenny I own a copy!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Rebel
Our founding patriots sure were rebels in all causes: taxation, representation, tyranny. They fought with loyalty and freedom!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Sea
A possible book to movie reading and viewing? Have to watch out for those killer whales 🐋!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Latitude
Certainly an adventure to infiltrate the Spanish stronghold and take the treasure! Storms at sea, three ship cannon battles, and a determined crew make for a great read! 🏴☠️
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Hook
A week away from the actual Tall Ship Celebration in Bay City, Michigan, and this author, Andrea Jones, will again be gracing the artist booths with her book stand!
This is the first book in the series; so far three have been published, but she plans on a couple more volumes!
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Privateer
Legalized pirating, sanctioned by the government of your home country.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #King
This is a great Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes mystery! It‘s about a movie picture filming actors put on the play Pirates of Penzance. Of course, there‘s people disappearing and deaths! The game‘s afoot.
#TSC2019
There‘s still time to board the #TallShipCelebration challenge with @CrowCAH as your fearless captain.
Don‘t forget there‘s pirate treasure at the end for any who have a post for everyday‘s theme. Of those, one lucky winner will receive the four book Adventures Quartet series, as seen on day seven‘s post.
#TallShipCelebration #TSC2019 #Hurricane
A folklore tale told all in poem verse form; very engaging!
