For full disclosure, I have used some books I have already read within the last year to fill in some prompts but then I will be filling up best I can with my current TBR

I am also do all 3 quotes per episode but I will fill the graphic in with the first book added (hopefully that makes sense 🤣)

Finally got round to sorting this out!

Here is my 🧵 for the Our Flag Means Death reading challenge

Stede Bonnet would do this

I emailed my MP about it to note the fact this was always a risk with this so how is it making anyone safer (my MP is generally pretty good actually - he wasn’t overly supportive of the online safety act anyway) and his team said they are gonna look into the legal ramifications

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

It’s SUCH a good soundtrack
