Pirate Reading Club

You see it, most ironically, in the Domesday Book. In 1986, the BBC marked the 900th anniversary by making a modern version. It conducted a new census of the nation, taking down thoughts, feelings and occupations, all recorded using a technology lIth-century scribes would have marvelled at. A technology that was, a few years later, defunct: the LaserDisc. A few years after that, no computer could read it. The original Domesday Book persisted, unchanged, on vellum. The modern one barely lasted a generation.

Books will outlast your puny digital technology

You can do it!!!

This is adorable! Maybe if Ned had flowers given to him, he would be nicer 🤔

CONGRATS!!! You are amazing!!!

Hello friends! Tomorrow is March 1 and that means there's one month left or Pirate Reading Club Winter bingo! You still have time! 📚🏴‍☠️💚 #PirateReadingClub

The front cover to the Picnic At Hanging Rock Audiobook. The text is pink. The background image is a landscape with a large rock in the foreground.

The pirate reading club winter bingo card. The squared most recently filled is An Audiobook

Slowly working my way through rye @piratereadingclub.bsky.social bingo squares.

Really loved this! Definitely my kind of weirdness.

Also shouting out that fact that most libraries give you access to free audiobooks - what a treat! 🎧

Book 17, nom-human protagonist: The Vampyre and Other Stories from Penguin Classics 😎 😎 😎

Card update:

Book cover for Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. The cover shows a buff minotaur with a brunette woman on his lap. They're pouring a liquid out a big metal milk jug but it's vital that you understand that the milk in question is semen.

Book 4: Morning Glory Milking Farm by C.M. Nascosta. I liked the worldbuilding and setup a lot. The sex was so-so, just because men (minotaurs?) domming women is not for me. Who do you think you're talking to like that, buddy. But I stand a chance at a bingo now...

lol. This goes against my firm belief that you do NOT have to finish a book you don't like, but I know I'm in the minority there.

My Pirate Reading Club bingo card

The cover of Tough Guy by Rachel Reid

Working my way through Game Changers and I read Tough Guy. If there was a square for "Book you hated" it would mark that too!

LGBTQ+ protag not about coming out, and book about a sport because the conflict is Ryan giving up his career for a terrible boyfriend. 🫣 Sorry not sorry.

#piratereadingclub

scrabbling to find a pen & paper and add "Book you hated" to next year's prompts

The cover of John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs by Ian Leslie

I was very tempted to mark the love triangle square for John & Paul but I resisted and I deserve a prize. Plus it's more than a triangle with the Linda of it all. Ian Leslie I know you believe. Your tacked on "btw. No homo. Secret third thing" section at the end was proof enough.

#piratereadingclub

Choosing to make this one count because this book rocked and I want to include it - “The White Guy Dies First: 13 Scary Stories of Fear and Power”. Either the “first” or “13” counts. Content is what it says on the tin. All I can insist is listening to the audiobook, esp for the last story 😱😱👏👏

The cover of Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young

A graphic novel: Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young. Beautifully illustrated, queer in several different ways, and a nuanced, poignant engagement with mental health, grief, and trauma. I really loved this one.

Messenger: The Legend of Muhammad Ali

Page from the book depicting one of Ali’s title bouts.

For the ‘A book about a sport’ square.

For @piratereadingclub.bsky.social Bingo, I read ‘Messenger: The Legend of Muhammad Ali’ by Marc Bernardin.

Really liked the art style used in this autobiography about Ali. The book deals with various points in Ali’s life and career.

Baby!🥰

Book 16...... Set in a Post-Apocalyptic world.
Am I gonna catch up to doing 11 a month? Send thots and prayers.
