I’ve just started reading The Wager. I’m a sucker for ship based media, and I’m hoping this’ll be no exception.

It’s my third book of the year after previously reading both A Clash of Kings and How to get rid of a president

    The Wheel of Time (the whole saga). Going for the second book right now.

    I’m re-reading the Lord of the Rings for the first time since I was about 14. Loving it!

    I have that same kobo, do you not flip it when you’re holding it in your left hand? I find it so much more comfortable!

    Check out Endurance by Alfred Lansing. It’s the story of Shackletons failed antarctic voyage and how he survived. Absolutely amazing story and really well written.

    I also recently finished The Wager and thought it was excellent. Can you recommend any other nautical novels I should check out?

    Working through Perdido Street Station on my new Kobo. I understand the critiques on pacing, and spending too much time on world building as now, 400 pages in, races, sections of the city, creatures, and cultures are still being introduced. But it has been an enjoyable ride so far, especially with one of the main PoVs being one of my favorite tropes of just “scientist doing science”
