This book, as the author puts it, is easily unputdownable once you start reading

This is the perfect read for this week's cloud displays

Had such a blast reading about the open polar sea theories ngl

such a STRONG opener for this one, I'm already hooked

Found two more stupid misunderstandings written by Knight in just as many pages. Oh boy.

Cholernie wciągająca książka

This book has the best and most succinct lineup of RN Arctic exploration expeditions, it was such a pleasure to read

I do love good notes on sources

yassss queen, shame Wilkes!! I love how bitchy Ross is about the whole Wilkes Land situation

This is honestly SO GOOD and well written, it's a joy to read

i really need to stop picking this one up right as I'm about to sleep, this book is GREAT so far and I need to bite into it

Back to vibing with Ross, it's so refreshing to read something enjoyable after the shitty book I've finished earlier today 💖

this book would've been more interesting and enjoyable to read if it was pure fiction, then I could excuse the sloppy research, basic mistakes, and the early 2000s fanfiction-style of romance writing

This books keeps randomly jumping from topic to topic so much that it's extremely hard to stay interested in reading it ngl

This book is such bullshit tbh, it still can't decide if it's a romance historical fiction, a sailing almanach, or some sort of biography. To describe in excruciating detail the Beaufort scale and not even ONCE mention it's called the Beaufort scale?! And then jump into some random facts about a coastline? Who the fuck edited this shit. Still not over the typo in Eldridge's name, this shit ain't been fact checked.

this is getting decent, but I would've appreciated some sources... had to do my own research to check some things smh

Very mixed feelings about this book so far, leaning towards "bad"

KING BRUCE LEE KARATE MISTRZ KICKING THAT BEAM

The intro by Margaret Atwood was so annoying ngl. Should've skipped right into the main book.

haterism mode on for Chesney

I highly doubt this book will teach me anything new at this point but I'm determined to finish it.

ngl so far I think I know more about Crozier from reading Ross' and McCormick's accounts of the Antarctic expedition than from this biography of Crozier 😂

oh, how I love reading about Ross and Crozier shenanigans
