Would you recommend this book?

TITLE: Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

This book was much more enjoyable than I had imagined it would be. Wish i had discovered it when I was young! It was an enjoyable way to complete this prompt!

Title: Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition: English Sea Rovers in the Seventeenth-Century Caribbean
Author: B.R. Burg
Would you recommend this book? Yes! I was fascinated. I was not up for fantasy, textbooks never scare me, and I love non-fiction. If you are studying Gender Studies or Theory of Class Systems, you will love this.
Even if not, it was fascinating. I can see why Johnny Depp read this book to develop his character, Jack Sparrow.
I loved it for the classism and its expressions in 17th Great Britain.

Title: Cinnamon and Gunpowder
Author: Eli Brown
Would you recommend this book? I was drawn to this book by the title...and then fell into it. It features a female pirate, a kidnapped chef, and a crew that boggles the mind. Loved this adventure of unlikely people.
