Nutmegnc @TracyReadsBooks yay, it‘s not just me!! 2y
Christy2318 I‘m thinking about getting HBO Max just to watch this. 2y
Nutmegnc @Christy2318 that‘s what I did! I got the 9.99/month plan. Has stupid commercials but 🤷‍♀️. 100% worth it. 2y
LiseWorks I love this show, I'm only on episode 4 but I think it's so funny. Love Blackbeard! 2y

#friyayintro
1. Tagged! Now that I finally coming out of my reading slump/general depression, I‘m starting to dive through my lovely TBR stack!
2. Reading, maybe going to the tulip festival, writing & more writing, dog park—not necessarily in that order.
3. They‘re not something I‘ll order or ask for, but I‘ll eat them in a pinch.
4. The main characters of my 3 NaNo novels are Lea, Kate, & Gracie.
5. will do! 👍🏻

wanderinglynn @Stacypatrice I have mixed feelings because on the one hand, I‘m a super excited geek & this is my very first con. But on the other, I‘m an introvert & don‘t like large crowds, so we‘ll see how it goes. 5y
BooknerdsLife @wanderinglynn Awwww comic co! 😍😍 That's awesome! Hope you have lots of fun there 🤗💕 5y

Thank you so much @Julsmarshall for my #jolabokaflodswap. I love it! These books were on the top of my TBR! 😘❤️🥳 I can‘t wait to dive in. And the dog biscuits were so thoughtful and a bit hit! (I tried to take a photo of Dexter eating one, but he gobbled it up too fast!)

Also, I am sorry that I wasn‘t able to open it on 12/24. (I had to leave a few days earlier than intended.)

Thanks @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing this fun swap! ☺️

monkeygirlsmama Love the cover on that edition of Practical Magic. 5y
Julsmarshall I‘m so glad you like everything! And I love that your Dexter enjoyed the goodies! My dear nephew pup was named Dexter 😄 he was a fantastic dog! 5y

Pirate: Truth and Tale by Helen Hollick. Released July 15th by Amberley Publishing. £.99 RRP.

Thank you Phillip and @amberleypublishing for the early copy. This nonfiction read has peaked my childhood fascination with all things pirate and ocean. ? ? #nonfiction #pirates #history #bookaddict #booklover #bookish #bookblog #bookworm #bookstamums

wanderinglynn That sounds like a fun read! 6y
Melissa_J Have you read any of Hollick‘s fiction? She‘s written a whole series about a pirate. I‘m not personally a fan of pirate novels, but am interested in non-fiction works so am looking forward to your thoughts on this one. 6y

How I spent a few hours today 🤷‍♀️. But hey, Talk Like a Pirate Day only comes around once a year ☠️☠️and it's good mental exercise solving the riddles!

charl08 Oh no! Did I miss this *again* Shiver me timbers. Etc. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @charl08 Are you on LT? If so, the deadline for this is this Thursday to win a chance at some swag! 7y
charl08 I just went over. I think the most I've ever worked out was ten, so... :-) fun though. 7y

CrowCAH @Billypar thanks for the tag! @ValerieAndBooks this looks awesome! My library didn't host a pirate treasure hunt! Love me some pirates! ☠️⚓️⚔️ 7y
ValerieAndBooks @charl08 @Billypar @CrowCAH this made me realize we really need a pirate emoji! Maybe in the next phone update 🤔? 7y
CrowCAH @ValerieAndBooks aye, that we do! I purchased the POTC Dead Men Tell No Tales stickers, so I can send those in texts, but can't access them in Litsy. 7y
Billypar @ValerieAndBooks It's surprising that there isn't one already! @CrowCAH The Emoji design team needs to get in touch with you immediately to address this. ☠ (Will have to do for now) 7y
CrowCAH @Billypar correct; aaarrr ☠️⚔️⚓️ 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Billypar @CrowCAH and maybe a treasure chest emoji too!! 7y

Recommendations please.

The theme for my bookclub this month is pirates. I'm more into fantasy genre so something along those lines would be good.

I've already read the Robin Hobb ones.

Thanks 😀

Lizpixie Seawolf Anchorbottom at your service! Arrrrggghh🏴☠️ Christina Henry just brought out Lost Boy, a retelling of Captain Hook. 7y
Lizpixie There's also Daughter of A Pirate King 7y

Lizpixie What about Space pirates? This is a novel about a spaceship & crew who smuggle goods all over the universe. 7y
Lizpixie And you can't go past the original and classic Treasure Island. Yo ho ho & a bottle of rum! 7y
LazyOwl @Lizpixie & @julesG thanks for the ideas 😄 7y
julesG Treasure Island! How did I not think of this myself, I just bought a lovely Penguin edition. You could go non-fiction as well, but it might be boring. And I came across this, haven't read it yet, but the title sounds hilarious. 7y
julesG Not to forget, Delilah Bard wants to be a pirate and kind of becomes one in the course of the trilogy. 7y
BookishFeminist This duology from Heidi Heilig is delightful 😀 7y
cleoh Have you read Pirates!? I adored it when I read it 7y
LazyOwl So many great ideas, thanks @julesG @BookishFeminist @cleoh 7y

Have you ready any great nonfiction lately? I loved THE RADIUM GIRLS and am looking for my next nonfiction read to sink into, and it might be TRUTH AND TALES: PIRATES. I'm a sucker for pirates. ⚓️
