Last Book You Read (or listened to) On The Last Cruise You Took

I'll start:

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (from the Queen Elizabeth library)

Dead Wake, Erik Larson

Chasing Daisy, Paige Toon

The Expatriates, Janice Y.K. Lee

Cow Country. Adrian Jones Pearson. Laughed so much I disturbed others in The Sanctuary.

A wonderful book to read on a cruise ship:)

Not the last cruise but the most enjoyable read I've ever found in a ship's library. 'Dying to Live in Palm Beach' by Jane Grossman.

They Called Me Number One. Bev Sellars. Quite heavy but I had run out of my murder mysteries and can't read my tablet in the sun!

Northanger Abbey, a favorite Jane Austen novel. I always read her works at happy times in my life.

I love Jane Austen!

I read Beverly Sellars' They Called Me Number One over the last couple of days. Be prepared to cry. Sellars is a former chief, lawyer and activist from Soda Creek, BC. This is her story about her life as a small child sent first to the Sardis hospital though she wasn't ill and then to Indian Residential School. Her heartwarming memories of home are juxtaposed jarringly against the nightmare of her life in these prisons and the effects of this cultural experience over several generations. She is a woman of great courage. If you live in Canada, the US or Australia, this is a must read for insight into why first people mistreatment and resulting tragedy have been so hard to overcome.

The Martian

I find cruises a good time to delve into longer (or series of) books. last time it was GRR Martin's "Song of Ice & Fire" books (aka Game of Thrones). This time I'm going to revisit Discworld, starting right back at The Colour of Magic.

I finished all three Miss Peerigrine's School For Peculiar Children

I read 3 on my recent British Isles cruise on the Caribbean Princess - all set in the region:

Me Before You by Jojo Moyles - enjoyed it

'Tis by Frank Mc Court - highly recommend, especially if you read Angela's Ashes. This is the follow up to that book. Loved it.

Trafficked by Sophie Hayes. This was tough; I almost bailed out it was so difficult to read at points, but I'm glad I finished it.

For me it was The Night Circus, Ready Player One, and Ocean At the End of the Lane.

If you love George Martin, you should give The Steel Queen, first book of the "Silk and Steel Saga" a whirl, the whole series was addictive, couldn't put it down!!! Very "Game of Thrones"ish"!!!
