This one’s… y’know, tense isn’t even a strong enough word. Sickness and shipwreck and starvation and so much death and when the captain shot that guy? I know we’re all stressed out but I’d rather take my chances on a raft 😬 no wonder the trial got so messy. #TheWager

Started Broken Country yesterday and I see why it won Book of the Year. It’s hard to put down already. Also highly recommend The Wager, nonfiction book about a British ship that is wrecked, and all that befalls the crew. #currentlyreading #booksky #brokencountry #Thewager
It's almost here! Episode 1 of HMS Wager launches next week on YouTube!

The Wager!
Crazy true story that should tell itself, but somehow David Grann made it pretty boring to read. He did a fenomenal research, but the outcome wasn't really well.

The Wager by David Granny. Highly recommend.
Started this book last night and will finish it this evening. It's a great adventure and I'm really enjoying it. Highly recommend if you enjoy stories of the sea. #thewager #davidgrann @davidgrann.bsky.social

I've started and finished #TheWager inside a week. Testimant to just how page-turningly good the entire book was.
That's my third book of the year. Only another 6 and I've hit my reading goal for 2024. Looks like I should slow down.

Als er een Gouden Strop (of Golden Dagger) voor historische non-fictie zou zijn, mag ‘ie naar het nieuwe boek van David Grann. De plot is bekend en toch is het nagelbijten. #davidgrann #thewager #voltuitgeverij
