Yay books #PirateReadingClub @piratereadingclub.bsky.social

🥰🥰🥰 I'm doing so much better this year! @piratereadingclub.bsky.social #piratereadingclub

Hello Pirate Readers! The blog has been updated and badges have gone out. Enjoy the rest of your day!!! 💚 piratereadingclub.blogspot.com

FINALLY CLOCKING IN MY FIRST BOOK FOR @piratereadingclub.bsky.social !!!! The Great Orchid Heist by Eleanor Vendrell. Hope I can read a lot more but life's been trickyyyyy

Book 1: "A Marriage At Sea" by Sophie Elmhirst. A wild true story of Maralyn and Maurice Bailey, whose small boat sank in the Pacific. They were stranded on a raft for nearly 4 months, and both survived. A fascinating and quick read.

Helloooooo here is my Pirate Summer Reading Club book thread! 🧵

Don't forget Pirate Readers, you can show off your library card and get an additional 10 entries for the final prize drawing! 💚

#PirateReadingClub 1. Treasure Island. Bonus, has Izzy Hands as a character.... 2. The journal of William Dampier. Warning for racist views on "natives", but a RL historical account of exploration & sailing 3. Rum, Sodomy and the Lash It's a classic for a reason

My first flag! #piratereadingclub

3. Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado 4* - A short story collection; loved the first two stories and the last two, but the middle ones didn't quite hit for me. Really appreciated the body horror of it all! #PirateReadingClub app.thestorygraph.com/books/81ff60...

6. The Confessional by Paige Hender. Newly turned vampire is with her maker and an assortment of interesting vampires at a whore house in New Orleans. She falls for a priest. Is it love or does the priest have nefarious plans in mind? #piratereadingclub

8. Someday Perfect by Kat Schneider. Teenager goes to a church camp during the summer and starts to have questions about the faith she’s told she should have and the rules she should follow. #piratereadingclub

I have another flag. #piratereadingclub

5⭐️ - reread still beautiful, still one of my favourite things i’ve ever read

4.5⭐️ dense & written in a way that makes you fly through. which makes the theory fun & accessible but i prob missed a lot. could spend a day meditating on each paragraph. my fav parts are the ones about art & applying theoretical concepts to her own life, or reworking them around her own experience

Officially starting a thread for Pirate Reading Club! ✨ Late is better than never, right? Reviews will live in this thread (including a backlog I'm getting to shortly)

Hello! The blog has been updated and badges sent out! If you earned a badge and I have not sent your one, please message me. Thanks! piratereadingclub.blogspot.com

A reminder that you could win all this adorable Babirousa #OFMD merch AND help support trans rights! 🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️ Wooo +

Holy shit. DEVOURED this in one day. It's just so delicious, it's so fucked up, it's my kinda freak 5⭐️

EEEEGGUGH mixed feelings. I liked the premise but god the end was rushed and predictable to me 😭 I had such high hopes in the first half 3.5 ⭐️

Reading thread for the pirate reading club - time to go to town on the excessive amount of books on my to read shelf (its multiple shelves and a stack on a side table)

They are called librarians. Please give them a billion dollars.

Book 5/book 2 for @piratereadingclub.bsky.social: Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell. I really loved this one—body horror but from the perspective of a sapphic monster, for whom body horror is survival. In turn, weaves in some compelling themes about disability and othering.

Go get your library card!!

A careful curated (?) selection of holiday reads to enjoy on my travels and also to get me closer to those sweet sweet @piratereadingclub.bsky.social flags .

Having a great time with the #PirateReadingClub summer reading challenge and putting my adorable library card to good use! @piratereadingclub.bsky.social

The blog has been updated & the badges will go out when my eyes stop hurting. By Tuesday the latest, I promise. piratereadingclub.blogspot.com

Another short horrible book for @piratereadingclub.bsky.social 🌸 Potentially less horrible than I'd have liked but good gay cottagecore with a twist.

I'm in too much pain to #DrawIzzyHands so I hope this sketch from a few days ago is okay 🙏

My first entry for @piratereadingclub.bsky.social summer reading challenge! A bit more on the intellectually hefty side/work-related though. 1. Mahommah Gardo Baquaqua: An Enslaved Muslim of the Black Atlantic by Lovejoy and Bezerra

Would you like to help support the Transgender Law Center, America's largest transgender-led civil rights organization. and at the same time have a chance to win some adorable Babirousa #OFMD merch? Of course you would. +

2. The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones by Lex Croucher GUYS! This was sooooo fucking good. Best book I’ve read in a very long time. Dark, broody, queer.

Going to start a little thread for my #PirateReadingClub reads. 1. A Prince Among Pirates by Katie Abdou This was SUCH a fun time. Lots of little Easter eggs for OFMD fans but very much not a fic.

1. Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 7: This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinnimin. Quite possibly the most important book of the series so far, Carl, Donut, and their friends take on Faction Wars, doing battle with the universe’s most powerful people. #piratereadingclub

Book 4 and my first one that qualifies for @piratereadingclub.bsky.social!: Train Dreams by Denis Johnson, read by Will Patton. This is one of those times when I read a book and think, I see why it’s collected awards/honors, but it’s not for me. Patton was an excellent narrator.

🥰🥰🥰 @piratereadingclub.bsky.social

44. perfect fantasy based on slavic folklore (i mean a real slavic one, not that maniacal imposters iykwim) book 1 for the @piratereadingclub.bsky.social 🌚

45. men just can’t write horrors, right? book 2 for the @piratereadingclub.bsky.social 🌚

Pirate Readers! 11 of you filled out the form to record your books! Hooray! I have 11 first book flags ready for you! But none of you told me where to send them! Discord? Email? Please let me know when you get a chance. :) #Piratereadingclub

First book: The Midnight Train by Matt Haig. It was fine. Predicable. I would have preferred that the protagonist have a less stereotypical "regretful" life to make his decision in the afterlife more impactful. Big Businessman Gazillionaire Has Regrets is a bit of a snooze. #piratereadingclub

Pirate Summer Reading Club 2026!! 1. A Power Unbound, Freya Marske Lost me at the end a little but overall a good time.

Ok and here's the thread for me! First up, having fun's not hard when you've got a library card (or four)! Big recommend to find libraries in your state or area that don't require you to live in their city for digital access. #piratereadingclub

Suppose I should start a @piratereadingclub.bsky.social titles! 1. Devils We Know--second in the YA duology that started with "Devils Like Us"--an OFMD inspired YA series with plenty of queerness, found family and struggle against an oppressive religious order. bookshop.org/p/books/devi...

Anti-Prime Day starts…NOW! 🥳 Today through 6/26, enjoy free standard shipping site-wide, all while supporting local, independent bookstores.

Oh! I missed the start of this!!!! Let's go!

I haven't been reading much (and also doing a lot of book club/slower reading) but maybe I can get to 10 books during the summer? Who knows! Here's a thread for quick reviews!

Starting a thread for my @piratereadingclub.bsky.social summer reading books! 1. Gemini: Stepping Stone to the Moon, the Untold Story by Jeffrey Kluger 👨‍🚀🚀
