Ship/Pirate Book Recommendations!

One particular trope or setting I have found to consistently enjoy over the last few years are books that involve ships, pirates or just generally travelling over water on an adventure. So I figured I would recommend a few of my favourites if this is something you are also interested in picking up!

5 of my Favourite Ship/Pirate Books are:

Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

To Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo

Fable by Adrienne Young

All the Stars and Teeth by Adalyn Grace

The Lady’s Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

If you have pirate/ship recommendations for me please let me know, I’m definitely looking for more to read!

Disappointing Books of 2020

This is five books I read this year that disappointed me for one reason or another. These aren’t necessarily books I hated, I just might have been underwhelmed by them or they didn’t live up to the hype.

My most disappointing books are:

Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo

I have loved all of Leigh Bardugo’s books so far but this was severely underwhelming for me.

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

Didn’t live up to the hype in my opinion.

Into the Crooked Place by Alexandra Christo

I really thought I was going to love this book but I found it kind of mediocre.

Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

I just didn’t gel with the premise and storyline of this book. Sanderson’s prose was of course immaculate though!

A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

Again I expected a bit more from this book, a little let down.
