pickThis book was such fun! Got VERY fantastical towards the end but that certainly kept me on my toes! I loved the hodgepodge of characters and their questionable pasts that somehow all brought them together. A famous lady pirate is pulled from retirement with a job she couldn‘t refuse.
pickI enjoyed the adventure and the characters. I love that the MC is a strong woman pirate that happens to be a mom also who comes out of retirement to save a girl. This adventure turns magical and I love the character development. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis swashbuckling, Middle Eastern mythology inspired fantasy follows a middle-aged single mom & former pirate captain as she‘s coerced out of retirement for one more adventure. I loved the rep here—the older mc, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian rep, and fantastic queer rep too! The emphasis on plot over character development took this from a 5 star to a 4 star for me, but highly recommended if you‘re in the mood for an adventure on the high seas!
Here is my final list for the 1st #Book2Book It's great to see these books going to fellow Littens. If you could all email me your addresses that would be great. I'd like to get them in the mail Saturday. If you're okay with Media Mail then shipping in on me. Happy Fall almost 🐈⬛️

pickThis was so fun and action packed and scratched my swashbuckling itch! I liked Amina and her character motivations a lot, as well as her relationship dynamic with her crew. This was very plot focused so I think the characters suffered a bit because of that, and the story got a little off the rails in the second half, but overall I had a great time and this was just the escapist read I needed. Very excited for the next one! 4.5/5⭐️
1. Usually lunch - especially when I‘ve actually remembered to pack it for work - I‘m very excited to have tonight‘s leftovers for lunch tomorrow
2. Gunpowder & Cinnamon - a French trained chef gets kidnapped by a pirate and is one bad meal away from walking the plank (this is a very bad summary of a brilliant book)
Perfect match bookmark for this book. Missed luffy and the gang. Just started the Netflix series to.
I‘ve been in a real seafaring and swashbuckling mood lately so let‘s keep it going!
pickShannon Chakraborty is definitely in my top authors. I have been (un)patiently waiting to get this one from the library and loved every second! I cannot wait to see what Amina's next adventure will be.
