Books from the Backlog, hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books, is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your shelf unread.
I stumbled onto this one thanks (again) to Chuckles. I have been toying with this one for a while because I have so many memes and features that I participate in, there are hardly time for reviews it feels like. But I am hoping this will also help with my whole TBR situation, so I can find some treasures that I have forgotten about.
Neglected Book of the Week
Why did I add Under the Black Flag to my TBR?
Pirates. Duh.
Have you read this book, or is it somewhere on your TBR? If you've read it, would you recommend it to others?
Yarr! There be no better reason for readin' a book than it bein' about the life.
ReplyDeleteArrrrg, I agree, matey!
Deleteoooo i love pirates too
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
They're the coolest!
DeleteI started that book once and got bored, but it might have been me, not the book. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope so too!
DeletePirates are one subject I've hardly read anything about-the exception was Teddy Bear Pirates which was fun!
ReplyDeleteI have not read many either yet. Hopefully I get to this one soon!
DeleteI'm not sure I've read a pirate book since Treasure Island! Hope you enjoy this one
ReplyDeleteI liked Treasure Island - I loved the movie more, the one Christian Bale was in.
DeleteYou were in your pirate period?
ReplyDeleteHa, pretty much!
DeleteLOL I love pirates too:)
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty bad-ass!
DeleteOoooh, just don't get me started...... [lol]
ReplyDeleteGood or bad??!!
DeleteDepends on your PoV. I just hate the way pirates have been romanticised/Disneyfied away from what they really were/are. There's a very good reason why civilised countries spent a great deal of time, gold & blood tracking pirates to their home ports and destroying them.
DeleteThis is very true. They're definitely the bad guys and did not have any of the redeeming qualities that their sea-faring brethren, the Vikings, did.
DeleteVery True - LOL.... although Vikings haven't been quite as.... tamed as Pirates, not quite so.... cuddly.....
DeleteTrue, but we are still honest about Vikings at least - we remember they're not cuddly!! lol
