Happy happy pub day to The Pirate Queen by @ariel.lawhon!!
I've already done a review post for this, but to save you the scroll, I'll paste it here:
Sometimes I resent every single obligation that keeps me from reading a book. I read this in 3 days and had I been unemployed and unattached I probably would have read it straight through. I loved every single page of this, from the first sentence to the last. The format is very unique - switching between three phases of Grainne Ni Mhaille's life as maiden, mother, and matriarch. The author's note explains why, and though I agree, I had already planned to reread this book in chronological order (@ariel.lawhon you doubt anyone would read this book twice?! I'll read this book many times, I'm sure). There is so much history and knowledge and research in these pages, and the book is also so completely and deeply human. What a gorgeous novel.

The Pirate Queen went straight to the Staff Pick table @bearpondbooks, and we have a limited quantity of signed editions on hand.

I love this book as much today as the moment I finished it, and can't wait to read it again. 5/5.
