Love these Tales of the Weird! I’m only three stories in but I really like it so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayley Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 I still have the final few stories of From the Depths left and I’m not sure what I’m going to start afterwards! How is Treasure Island going for those who started that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Treasure Island going for those who started that? I am very intrigued now by 'From the Depths of the Sea'! I recently finished Treasure Island and found it a very enjoyable pacy read! OK it's old so the writing style isn't modern but it's a good classic adventure story. It should have been a very quick read - it's not that long - and but for some other things going on for me at the moment I'd have read it a lot more quickly. The pirates are very menacing and proper villains, and the book has plenty of peril and danger in it and I loved that. Some of the characters are dark and dangerous and I wouldn't want to meet any of them in a dark alley. Highly recommend. A Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Aaaarrr!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 The Starless Sea might actually last to the end of September if I continue at the same pace for the rest of the month, but otherwise my final group book will be Treasure Island! Does anybody else remember the Disney movie Treasure Planet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunababymoonchild Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I forgot to mention that I am now reading Sea Fever, a factual book on all things to do with the sea. It also has some poetry in it and quotations from other books, it's marvellous! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I have hit a humongous reading slump, although I still consider myself on this reading challenge! I have read an entire paragraph of Treasure Island, and have bought The Devil & The Dark Water (how could I not?). This morning I bought for 99p on kindle, a YA thriller called The Girl Who Broke The Sea. It intrigued me. September may leech into October for me and this challenge, but dammit I WILL get there! ☺️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're supposed to enjoy the process and the challenge is just a bit of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 My current approach is to add 'ish to the end of September. I hope to have read a few bits by the end'ish of September'ish! 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
