A list of books I have read this year. Will reblog everytime I update as I read more. Doing this a a bit of fun and to hopefully motive myself to read a bit more like I used to.
(I would like to state that I do not share/approve of the views or opinions of a certain author on this list. I just enjoy the books and won't let some poor excuse of a human being ruin them for me.)

🌸 April books 🌸
Yeah, not beating the allegations...
🔹 Second in Command by May Fluhman, 2⭐
I'm sure this was really useful back in the 1970s, although I'm not sure how much of a wider audience it actually reached. Now, when you can read accounts of the voyages online it really doesn't add much.
🔹 The Dive by Stephen McGinty, 4⭐
An account of rescuing people from a submersible accident. What they wanted to do with that Titanic sub, except 50 years earlier and in much shallower water. Even so, it nearly ended in disaster. If you want a stressful read about how dangerous accidents are caused by a combination of hubris and bad luck, this is a good option.
🔹 Sir John Franklin's Erebus and Terror Expedition by Gillian Hutchinson, 5⭐
🔹 The Plaster Fabric by Martyn Goff, 4⭐
This was a rec from @carrotcakecrumble. A queer classic coming of age novel where Laurie 2, as we're calling him, had to make choices about how he's going to live his life. The two Lauries have so much in common that I can't believe this isn't a response to The Charioteer. Perhaps a criticism, perhaps a look at how it would play out for someone from a different class. Much to think about.
This is a great introduction for anyone who wants to look at the actual history of the Franklin Expedition. There are amazing photos of the wrecks too. My precious boaties ♥️
