4⭐️ i don’t typically read much YA, but this was fun. i have some beef with the gendered magic system and the concept of Doing Boy Thing To Prove You’re A Real Boy, and sometimes the writing felt a little rough, but this was still a thrilling story with absolutely lovely characters.

413. The Monster at the End of This Book Khalil and Mr Hagerty and the Backyard Treasures Bloom Goodnight Pirate Dog's First Baby Dog's First Baby Dog's First Baby 420. Bodies are Cool #BabyPirateReadingClub #PirateReadingClub

Silly me, all she wanted to do with me today when I got home was read. #BabyPirateReadingClub #PirateReadingClub 406. Where's the Penguin Leave Me Alone! Big and Small, Room for All Where's Spot? Dog's First Baby Love Makes a Family 412. The Monster at the End of This Book

Book 30 for #piratereadingclub is ‘Flesh & Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy’ by Albert Marrin. 146 people, mostly women, died in a fire which could have been avoided had the company put in fire prevention measures. The fire did lead to all sorts of safety measures & regulations.

Woohoo! And the best thing is I'm continuing 🥰 Thank you @piratereadingclub.bsky.social 🫶🏴‍☠️

Made it in just under the wire to get my 5 book badge from @piratereadingclub.bsky.social 😅 Thanks for a fun summer of reading!

As #PirateReadingClub comes to a close just want to say thank you to @piratereadingclub.bsky.social for coordinating such a fun reading event (& for keeping me motivated in one of my slower reading years). It's been awesome to see what everyone has been reading. 🏴‍☠️📚

15. Flip by Ngozi Ukazu I love Ngozi's work and this is no exception. Highly recommend this graphic novel, all the feels! Also, one of my favorite bookmarks of all time by the lovely @self-induljennt.bsky.social 💖 #PirateReadingClub

14. The Storyteller by Brandon Hobson "Weirdos are good," he goes on. "When people call me weird, I'm proud. It's good to be different. I'm myself, that's who I am." #PirateReadingClub

13. Brownstone by Samuel Teer, Mar Julia "He doesn't need to be told that these two things he chooses to worship are incongruent. To him, they pair together to make something new. I get that. I am that." #PirateReadingClub

Book 27 for #piratereadingclub is ‘Spooky Lakes’ by Geo Rutherford. Neat book full of facts about lakes located all over the world, the majority of which can be deadly & dangerous, either due to nature or human interference.

Catching up…. #PirateReadingClub Hoosier Folk Legends by Ronald L Baker. I used to check this book out from the library all the time when I was a kid since I loved to read anything strange or paranormal. Today, all the stories are quite silly and transparent. Three stars, mainly for the nostalgia.

Unfit to Print by KJ Charles Two POC leads with a cat named Satan in dirty 😏 Victorian London. Short, so not very deep, but still a good read. 4/5 ⭐️ #PirateReadingClub

Apprentice to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer Meh. #PirateReadingClub

The Benevolent Society of Ill Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodman I ❤️’d this one. Regency era romance, 40+yo heroines, great dynamic between characters, lots of adventure and mystery (NOT a cozy mystery). Not really sure why this one isn’t more popular with the book club crowds. #PirateReadingClub

Rats, forgot ALT text. The cover of the book The Invisible Parade by Leigh Bardugo and John Picacio. A winged figure rides a white horse into the sky, a young dark haired person rides behind.

Absolutely gorgeous book, both the tale and the art. A Day of the Dead story for everyone. 🖤 #PirateReadingClub

I'm out of town this weekend so I'm not sure how many I'll get in before the deadline, but this is through yesterday. #BabyPirateReadingClub #PirateReadingClub 390. The Monster at the End of This Book Where's Spot? Bodies are Cool 393. Goodnight Pirate

I finished the audiobook of Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher yesterday. Another great fantasy listen, perfect for a distraction while doing chores and all that. I wish that there had been more of it - I wanted some backstory and more explanation of plot points and locations that + #PirateReadingClub

Flawless victory 🎉

I did itttttt 🙌 But it was easy when the book was this exciting. Book 5 was "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing. This is Thee polar adventure story for a reason! Super engaging throughout, gave me chills multiple times and I shed a lil tear at the end. #PirateReadingClub

40. The Women Not the most original plot, but good storytelling and really draws you in…for once, I get why it’s so popular! #PirateReadingClub

10. Running Close to the Wind by Alexandra Rowland 4* - Not sure if I agree that this is very much for OFMD fans but it's a very fun read, and the main character feels very much like a much more chaotic Lucius. Fun read! #PirateReadingClub app.thestorygraph.com/books/4b099f...

#15: Defekt by Nino Cipri. I was wary about a sequel to Finna that followed different characters, but I'm really glad I gave this one a shot. It's just as delightfully weird as the first novella. It's cool to think about how Finna was written as a screenplay originally, and how the prose—

#14: Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. Another reread, and I think I loved it even more the second time around. The worldbuilding is especially top tier. And if we're friends and I haven't gone on a (very positive) rant at you about the vampires or scarecrows, then it's only a matter of time really

My lovely 10 book flag 🥹🎉!

Book 25 for #piratereadingclub is ‘Dr. Werthless’ by Harold Schechter & Eric Powell. Graphic novel biography of psychiatrist Dr. Fredric Wertham, who helped desegregate schools, opened a clinic in Harlem, & examined cannibal serial killer Albert Fish. He also nearly killed the comic book industry.

I just tore through Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and I am too keyed up and wanting to sob to sleep. Is it another Little Autistic Scientist Guy Doing Space Science? Sure! But it is so good at being that! (The Martian is too the guy know his niche.) *AND I WOULD KILL FOR ROCKY* #PirateReadingClub

Book 26 for #piratereadingclub is ‘ “Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done?” ’ by Harold Schechter & Eric Powell. Graphic novel biography of Eddie Gein, who was the inspiration for Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Silence of the Lambs. Powell’s art is fantastic.

3⭐️ i’m so sad i didn’t like this book. i think i don’t know the colonial narrative well enough to understand the decolonial retelling, but man. i was confused for 80% of this. also, there is no action, people are only talking, which didn’t help. there are some viscerally good scenes though.
